25th Anniversary Banners
A specially curated art installation, designed by a local artist, will adorn the exteriors of Pickering City Hall and the Chestnut Hill Developments Recreation Complex. These temporary banners, expected to be installed in early Spring 2025, will celebrate Pickering’s growth and rich history. This artistic tribute offers a striking and meaningful visual representation of the community’s journey.
Stay tuned for more details about this exciting project. Please note that the timeline is subject to change.
Spring planting of 25 Silver Maple Trees
Silver, traditionally associated with 25-year milestones, symbolizes strength and resilience - qualities at the heart of our community.
To mark this milestone, we will plant 25 Silver Maple trees across all three wards, including Esplanade Park.
These trees will serve as a lasting legacy, symbolizing beauty, sustainability, and growth for future generations.
