In partnership with Pine Ridge Properties Inc., Veridian Corporation is celebrating the construction of a new office facility on Pickering Parkway. The facility will accommodate the company's billing and call centre operations. Occupancy is March 2002.

The three-story building will contribute over 30,000 square feet of premium office space to Pickering's downtown core. Its attractive design and highly visible location adjacent to Highway #401 will be sure to confer landmark status on the facility.

Veridian is responsible for distributing electricity in the City of Pickering, the Town of Ajax, and a number of communities, including Port Hope, Uxbridge, Bowmanville, Newcastle, Orono, Beaverton, Sunderland and Cannington. The Ontario Energy Board recently approved an application that will allow Veridian to expand into Belleville.
