With more information than ever before, we know you’ll find the

answers to most of your questions on our website.

Dear Member, Stakeholder, Supporter,

We hope you will find as much joy as we did in the pictures below showing our Club President, Ed Whitehead, receiving a Civic Award for his services to community sport. Ed was presented with his award by City of Pickering Mayor Kevin Ashe at a ceremony at City Hall in early May. 

Ed has been a constant support to both Board and Staff during arguably the most challenging period in our club's history. As a former coach for his children's teams, Ed then moved on to lead a highly successful '95 Boys team for over a decade and a '94 Boys team that also brought home silverware.


Ed was a major influence in the success of our PFC Summer Camps for many years and as he started to reduce the on-field activities, there was a new lease on life found in the governance of the Club and his roles; first as Vice President and then as President of PFC.


Ed's financial prowess has navigated the Club through the pandemic and the dome collapse bringing us to a position where the Club is seeing a renewed vigour with record numbers of players at both Recreational and Competitive levels while enjoying the use of our brand-new dome and playing surface.

This recognition is well deserved and the Club Board and Staff want to sincerely thank Ed for his commitment to PFC, and also to his family for sharing him with us for so many years.

Finally, with summer soccer now in full swing, consider this a friendly, but IMPORTANT REMINDER to all parents, caregivers, players:


By-law officers will be patrolling to enforce/ticket prohibited parking.


Please be respectful of community residents in the neighbourhood and ALWAYS leave handicapped parking spaces for those in need. 


Help keep everyone safe by only parking in designated areas!

Applications are now being accepted for the All Abilities Lucas MacIsaac Memorial Volunteer Scholarship

The Pickering Football Club’s All Abilities Lucas MacIsaac Memorial Volunteer Scholarship has been created so that we may recognize those young men and women volunteering with our All Abilities program, who exemplify the “spirit” of Lucas MacIssac. 


Lucas was a dedicated Volunteer with the All Abilities Program travelling to and from our Pickering Football Club every Saturday morning from Campbellville, Ontario. His passion for soccer was evident as he guided our young athletes, leading them in fitness, soccer skills and games. In addition to volunteering with our All Abilities Program, he also jumped into training with our Blind Soccer program and teammates from the Canada Soccer Para Team. Sadly, Lucas passed away on Sunday, July 19, 2020 after an 8-year battle with cancer.
