Dear Member, Supporter, Stakeholder,
As part of the new restrictions, indoor sport and recreational fitness facilities, including gyms, will be closed, except for athletes training for the Olympics and Paralympics and select professional and elite amateur sport leagues. At the same time, the government is requiring businesses to have employees work from home unless the nature of their work requires them to be on-site. These closures are expected to last for at least 3 weeks (until January 26th).
Pickering FC Recreational programs are currently postponed until such time as we can get back on the field. Pickering FC Competitive and High Performance Program Leaders or Head Coaches will be in contact with players regarding online sessions for the next 3 weeks. Look out for details in your inbox.
PFC staff is working on getting programs in place to be ready to start back up once we are permitted to do so.

Our first PFC All Abilities book is now available!
Author and illustrator Anusha Broekhuyse joined us as a volunteer at the height of the pandemic, assisting with our virtual soccer programming. She then brought her love of our program to the field and joined us this summer as an All Abilities Coach.
We uncovered Anusha's amazing artistic talent which lead her to writing "Logan Learns to Play". She used her visual art skills to illustrate the enjoyment, fears, and challenges that youth living with disabilities face on a daily basis and hopes that this book will help inspire more children living with intellectual and/or physical disabilities to participate in sports.
Anusha is donating ALL proceeds of book purchases back to our All Abilities Program. "Logan Learns to Play" can be purchased from the front desk at the Pickering Soccer Centre for $15.00. You may also click the link below to purchase the book directly through Amazon.
