The City of Pickering, as with its larger (and more modest) neighbor the Town of Ajax, is a fast-growing suburb of the Greater Toronto Area. Where once horses and farms dominated the countryside, cars and trucks clog Highway 401, the regions busiest roadway.
The Ajax and Pickering General Hospital, long a fixture in this community, is now part of the vast Rouge Valley Health System. The Pickering Nuclear Generating Station is a massive complex, and a major employer in the region, along with Ontario Power Generation. The Pickering Town Centre is a major attraction for shoppers from all over Durham Region.
The Pickering City Hall is located at One The Esplanade.
The West Division of the Durham Regional Police Force serves both Ajax and Pickering from 1710 Kingston Rd. in Pickering. The police in that area reported that while the area 1/3 of the population of Durham Region, it has only ¼ of its property crime. As with most areas of the GTA, crime rates have been falling for years, even as the population increases.
