The town of Ajax became part of Durham Region in 1974. It is no longer as rural as it once was, as people move further away from Toronto in search of affordable housing, and development increases. Highway 401 runs through Ajax, and connects the town to the GTA.
Over the past few years, the ethnic makeup of the area’s residents has changed dramatically, as more immigrants settle in Durham Region.
The Ajax Town Hall is located at 55 Harwood Ave. South. The McLean Community Centre holds a number of art exhibitions throughout the year, while the Greenwood Conservation Area attracts hikers.
The Durham Regional Police Service patrols Ajax from its West Division, at 1710 Kingston Rd. in Pickering. The West Division recently reported that its area has more than its share of driving offences, which is not surprising, given the importance of Highway 401.
