Omand's Creek runs throughout Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Its surroundings vary, from prairie to box stores. It also runs through Omand Park and Bluestem Nature Park in the Wolseley area, into the Assiniboine River. ==History==
Omand's Creek is named after John Omand (1823–1905) who farmed near the mouth of the creek for forty-seven years.〔http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/people/omand_j.shtml〕 Before Omand lived on the land it was known as Catfish Creek. On June 1, 1816 Cuthbert Grant and the men who were with him rested on the bank of the creek before the Battle of Seven Oaks. In 1850 the land on the west side of the creek was granted by the Hudson's Bay Company to build St.James Church and Cemetery. In 1860 a bridge was built across Omand's Creek in order to improve access to the church. A battle between the Red Lake Saulteaux and the Portage La Prarie Sioux was also fought between Sherbrook Street and Omand's Creek some time in the mid 1800s 〔http://manitobia.ca/resources/books/local_histories/066.pdf〕
