Community Profile

Mayor’s MessagePickering is poised to become one

of the premier municipalities in the

province. The Government of Ontario

has named our downtown an ‘Urban

Growth Centre’ and an ‘Anchor Mobility

Hub’. Together, our landmark pedestrian

bridge and ‘LEED-GOLD’ office tower

form the epicentre of our City Centre

revitalization.

Over the next 20 years, Pickering will

lead the Greater Toronto Area in growth

with an additional 70,000 residents and

35,000 jobs.

Economic development remains one

of our key priorities, and I commit

to working with you to make your

expansion or relocation to Pickering

as effortless and profitable as possible.

Mayor, Dave Ryan

“ First Gulf was awarded the contract by Siemens Canada to construct a 192,000 sq. ft. design built facility in Pickering, Ontario. Our experience working with the City’s Economic Development, Planning and Building Services staff was by far one of the best we have experienced. The professionalism and dedication shown by staff at the City demonstrates what a great place Pickering is for doing business!

~ Brian Harrison, Vice President, Business Development First Gulf Corporation

”

When we realised that we needed to expand our office, we chose to move to the City of Pickering. The proficiency and dedication shown by staff at the City gave us a level of comfort in knowing we had made the right decision. Our employees are thoroughly enjoying the new office in Downtown Pickering. Not only does it provide easy access to Highway 401, it’s steps away from a major transit hub which provides excellent connectivity across the Greater Toronto Area.

~ Jeff Quipp, CEO, Search Engine People

“

As the gateway city to the east GTA,

Pickering is strategically located where

City of Toronto, York and Durham

Regions meet.

Pickering City Centre features an

iconic, enclosed pedestrian bridge,

connecting the Pickering GO Station

into the heart of downtown offices, the

Durham/Centennial College Learning

Site and an award winning regional

Shopping Centre.

Pickering’s Nautical Village nestles

against the largest fresh water bay on

Lake Ontario, showcasing a beachfront

destination including condominiums,

marinas, shops, restaurants and sunset

entertainment in Millennium Square.

Industry thrives in Pickering. New

prestige employment lands await your

investment with hundreds of acres to

choose from along a 400 series highway.
