economy. She spoke to several of Pickering’s amenities and events, and the need
to focus on strategies to elevate Pickering’s assets to keep pace with the growth of the community and commented that Pickering was one of the last of Durham’s municipalities without a dedicated visitor plan.

sporting events. She commented that the CVP would not be successful without
Council and community support, and urged Council to conceptualize agriculture, agri-tourism and trail tourism in a material way based on north Pickering’s assets. Ms. Whalen advised that following the delegation she would provide the Committee with a copy of two reports and a map that supplemented her
delegation. She commented that agri-tourism and trail tourism would be excellent
City-wide strategies for increasing youth employment. Ms. Whalen noted that the CVP gave Rouge National Urban Park and Millenium Square Park equal classification, and noted that the National Park should be highlighted as a one of the greatest tourism opportunities near Pickering, and that Pickering should invest
in a more cohesive trail system that allowed users to travel from south to north
Pickering using Pickering’s natural heritage corridors, and consider including food and refreshment areas for visitors. Ms. Whalen concluded by requesting that the Committee look at north Pickering as a growth area in the tourism plan.
Brief discussion ensued between Members of the Committee and Ms. Whalen
regarding methods used to count trail visitors, and how agri-tourism could benefit Pickering. 3.3 Craig Bamford, Member, Community Safety & Well-Being Advisory Committee
