Pickering Forward

The City of Pickering is updating its Official Plan, the City’s long-range, comprehensive planning document that guides land use decision-making in the City. An Official Plan addresses issues such as:

• Where new housing, industry, offices and shops will be located.
• What services will be needed, such as roads, watermains, sewers, parks and schools.
• How to protect what is important, such as the natural environment and cultural heritage.
• When, where, and in what order the community will grow.
• Where, and how the City will invest in community improvement initiatives.

This survey focuses on our Community Vision and Priorities as the first community conversation of the City’s Official Plan Review. Community feedback on the vision and priorities will inform the major themes in the Official Plan.

A summary of the survey results will be shared publicly; however, all individual responses will be kept confidential. All questions are optional, and the survey should take about 10 to 15 minutes to complete.
