Pickering is a proudly diverse part of Durham which can be found at the eastern edge of Toronto. Unbeatable prices for housing and a strong multicultural community are two of the main reasons residents and businesses from the Greater Toronto Area are flocking to Pickering. In fact, Ontario Power Generation has become one of the biggest employers in Pickering, and run the largest and most powerful wind turbine system in North America’s in Pickering.

The City of Pickering waterfront has recently been revitalized with the completion of The Pickering Millennium Waterfront Trail (overlooking Frenchman’s Bay) has helped to breathe new life into the Pickering waterfront, and offers peaceful beaches for those wanting to enjoy the sunshine or a picnic.

The rugged beauty of the nearly 2,000 acre Rouge Park Valley marks Pickering’s western edge. And to the north sits the green curtain formed by the Oak Ridges Moraine, near where a section north of the 401 has been earmarked for the construction of a local airport.
