How Pickering Ontario Became the Best Family Community in Canada
"Winner of the best place in Canada to raise a family Award"
Pickering Ontario.
Pickering (2003 population approximately 92,000) is (as of 2003)
a city located east of Toronto in Durham Region, Ontario, Canada.
The city is well known for the Pickering nuclear power plant, and
the adjacent OPG 7 commemorative turbine. Several other manufacturing
and high-tech firms are located in the city.
It borders on Toronto and is economically part of the "Greater
Toronto Area" (GTA).
While much of Pickering Ontario is still farmland or wild lands, it is
one of the fastest growing regions in Canada. It's proximity to
the adjoining City of Toronto makes is a very desirable real estate
market.
Most of the western fringes are part of the Rouge River park system;
the largest urban park in North America.
A proposed Pickering Ontario Airport is set to begin construction in 2010.
As the gateway city to the east GTA, the City of Pickering is one
of the most diverse cities in Canada. It has been designated by
the Province of Ontario as an emerging growth centre in its draft
Places to Grow Act and is expected to lead the nation in business
and residential growth over the next 10 to 20 years.
With its access to major markets, high residential values, lowest
residential tax rates of the lakeshore Durham municipalities and
wealth of community services, programs and amenities, the City of
Pickering is a preferred community of choice for residents and businesses
and has been previously recognized by Canadian Living Magazine as,
"the best place in Canada to raise a family."
