According to this old italian guy who lives a block away, and who's lived in his house since the '50s, the neighbourhoods between Nose Hill and Confederation Park/Confed golf course use to be a slough, and there's an underground spring in the area.
I knew about the horse pasture that was replaced by a development in the late 80s, right off Northmount Dr., but not about the spring. And I haven't verified or tried to fact check anything the neighbour says, but I have no reason to doubt him (despite the fact he paints his trees with lime wash, which seems like it should be a red flag)
