The City is in the midst of a transformation from a suburban community to a sustainable City and is projected to double its population and surge to 68,000 jobs by 2031. With over 9,600 acres of land designated for a future airport, the world’s largest nuclear plant decommissioning project, the enviable economy of the City is driven by its advantageous location, an educated and skilled labour force, exceptional infrastructure for business, and a supportive municipal government.

Pickering has the highest diversity rate in Durham and continues to attract residents and businesses from all over the world. Filled with opportunity, captivating with natural beauty and small-town charm, alongside an emerging new downtown, the City of Pickering has something for everyone!
