Pringle Creek

Pringle Creek is a small watercourse that drains into Lake Ontario in Whitby, Ontario.[1] It drains 3,102.15 hectares (11.9775 sq mi).

Groundwater discharge from the bluffs left from glacial Lake Iroquois feed the headwaters of Pringle Creek.[2]

On June 19, 2017, police and animal control officials were able to contain, tranquilize and safely relocate a black bear who had wandered into residential areas on Pringle Creek.[3]
