answers to most of your questions on our website.

Dear Member, Stakeholder, Supporter,

I am sure we all started having flashbacks this week, back to 2020 and 2021 and masking with Provincial and Regional direction on playing restrictions due to air quality. Thankfully for many of us here in the Durham Region, we were not as affected as many parts of Ontario and Canada and for that, we are very thankful. This weekend looks to be back to normal with all training and game schedules given the green light.

Adding to this unusual week, the Pickering Soccer Centre was closed for soccer business on Thursday due to the filming of a TV advert. We were excited to welcome Lamorne Morris from the popular TV show New Girl and instantly recognizable as the chirpy BMO bank employee who over the years has found himself in hot tubs, swimming pools and most recently on the soccer field with Alphonso Davies. This time, he shared the turf with Canada Women's star (and Olympic Gold Medal winning penalty taker) Julia Grosso. Julia has just finished her first successful season playing for Juventus in Italy and is now preparing for the 2023 Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand that kicks off on July 20th.

There is always plenty happening at Pickering FC and the Pickering Soccer Centre so please follow us on social media at:

Follow us and then you will see wonderful stories like this one from our U8 Girls Development team who donated their time last weekend to fix our Club garden with some weeding and planting. Thanks, girls, you make us #PFCProud.

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!
