Yeah, Bonaventure as well. I remember seeing a city plan (think it was from the city) from the 50's or 60's where it was proposed to a dam somewhere around where Deer Run/Parkland is now and flood the whole valley from the bow and make a huge lake stretching all the way to where Heritage Point golf course is now. Something like 1-3 miles wide in places and about 15 miles long. Would have been amazing to have a lake that big.
