The Etobicoke River Retaining Wall
The Etobicoke Diversion Channel was built in the early 1950’s, between downtown Church Street and Wellington Street. A retaining wall was constructed to prevent flooding from occurring, but the end result was the creek being sealed off from some of downtown Brampton and the nearby parks. What’s left of the retaining wall is located on Main Street, and you can take historical tours through this area.
