Spring is in the Air!
Plan to attend Sustainable Pickering Day on Saturday, March 25th at the Pickering Town Centre - Centre Court.

It's a great time to start planning your pollinator garden, shop the indoor Farmers' Market and take part in the many free family activities. New this year, visitors can clear out those unwanted clothes and drop them off to the H&M garment collection display for a $10 gift card towards your next purchase. In celebration of Canada 150, take part in the unique green screen photo experience. Also, drop off your e-waste at the free electronic waste collection bin located in the Pickering Town Centre east parking lot off of Glenanna Rd.
