- July 2015: The river is known by the Anishnaabe name Wonscotanach, which refers to grounds burnt by a forest fire. Efforts to restore the river have been ongoing since the 1960s after it was identified as highly polluted. The Dances of Resistance performance used song and dance to affirm a responsibility to this waterway.[2]
- August 2026: A new one-kilometre stretch of the river was reconnected to Lake Ontario as part of the waterfront transformation. The restoration of the river mouth is creating habitats for wildlife like the Great Blue Heron.[1]
