This year, the City of Pickering proudly celebrates a significant milestone – its 25th anniversary of becoming a city. To honour this momentous occasion, residents and visitors are invited to celebrate, reflect on, and explore the vibrant history and dynamic evolution of Pickering – a place so many are proud to call home.
In recognition of its historic status as the first new city of the 21st century, Pickering officially trademarked the name “Millennium City” in Canada, a bold declaration of its forward-thinking vision. While the excitement of the millennium has since passed, these efforts played a critical role in helping to forge a new identity, vision, and sense of purpose for Pickering, laying the foundation for the dynamic, progressive, and leading city it is today. Pickering’s achievements have not gone unnoticed – it has proudly secured a place on The Globe and Mail‘s list of Canada’s 100 Most Livable Cities for two consecutive years.
Throughout the year, a special 25th-anniversary visual identifier will mark select events, programs, and communications. This design reflects Pickering’s natural beauty, architectural significance, and bright future, while acknowledging the storied past that predates its incorporation as a city.
