| As the Mayor of the City
of Pickering, I welcome you to our Website and invite
you to learn more about what makes Pickering a welcoming
community. Our unique location on the east side
of the Greater Toronto Area makes Pickering the prime location for
business and investment. Our strong and diverse economy benefits
from our location as the eastern gateway into Canada's Business
Centre, the City of Toronto, and western gateway into Durham Region.
I invite new businesses to experience
our many attributes. We are committed to meeting the needs of our
local business community and attracting quality businesses that
create a broad range of employment opportunities through such
initiatives as our new Business Advisory Council.
Careful planning allows us to build
upon the strong community values that distinguish our City. Our
Growth Management Study is an important example of our commitment to
responsible growth that will protect environmentally-sensitive
lands, as well as cultural and heritage sites.
Pickering is a vibrant and active
community that offers a rich variety of recreational, leisure and
cultural activities for all ages and abilities. We're committed to
improving opportunities for those with disabilities through measures
such as our Accessibility Plan.
We're proud to be home to the largest
immigrant population per capita in Durham Region. The unique
cultural attributes, skills, talents and knowledge base of our
diverse population enhance the quality of life for all.
Accessibility, teamwork, partnerships
and a pro-active, positive approach guide us as we build upon our
many attributes. We invite you to share our pride in our community.
