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.
