Report Number: CAO 20-25
Date: November 3, 2025
From: Marisa Carpino
Chief Administrative Officer
Subject: 2025 Accessibility for Ontarians with Disability Act Compliance Report
File: A-1440
Recommendation:
1. That Report CAO 20-25 regarding the 2025 Accessibility for Ontarians with Disability Act
Compliance Report be received;
2. That Council approve the City of Pickering’s Report of full Accessibility for Ontarians with

Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to seek Council’s approval to submit a
2025 Accessibility for Ontarians with Disability Act (AODA) Compliance Report to the Ministry
for Seniors and Accessibility (MSAA) indicating that the City of Pickering is in full compliance
with the requirements of the AODA and the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation.
The Accessibility Advisory Committee endorsed the City’s AODA Compliance Report at their
meeting of October 15, 2025.
Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report respond
to the Pickering Strategic Plan Priorities of Advocate for an Inclusive, Welcoming, Safe &
Healthy Community.
Financial Implications: None.
Discussion: The AODA is a law that was enacted in 2005 that sets out a process for
developing and enforcing accessibility standards. Through the AODA’s Regulation, five sets of
accessibility standards have been established that obligated organizations must comply with.
- 5 -
CAO 20-25 November 3, 2025
Page 2
These standards address: customer service; information and communications; transportation;
employment; and the design of public spaces. As well, there are general requirements that
must be met.
Municipalities, as obligated organizations, are required to file AODA Accessibility Compliance
Reports with the MSAA every two years. The City of Pickering’s next compliance report is
required to be filed, jointly with the Pickering Public Library, by Dece mber 31, 2025.
Each reporting year, the MSAA provides a standard electronic compliance questionnaire to be
completed and submitted by each municipality. Prior to 2025 these questionnaires have asked
approximately 20 to 30 focused questions. The 2025 compliance report, however, is shorter
and less specific than in the past.
The 2025 AODA compliance report questionnaire (Attachment 1) contains a list of six high-
level questions asking for confirmation of the organization’s compliance or non -compliance
with the AODA standards including: general accessibility; customer service; information and
communications; transportation; employment; and the design of public spaces. Any single “no”
response or exception cited to any of the six questions will result in the City being considered
“not in compliance” by the Ministry.
To provide assurance to Council, the Accessibility Core Staff Team (ACST) has conducted
extensive pre-verification work to confirm Pickering’s compliance status, and to identify
documentation should evidence of compliance be requested by the MSAA in the future. Staff
has observed that recent MSAA audits of municipalities seem more frequent and intense than
in prior years.
A comprehensive 2025 AODA compliance reporting pre-verification tool (Attachment 2) was
developed by the Accessibility Coordinator to support, guide and document the ACST’s pre-
verification work. This spreadsheet provided extensive links to the AODA legislation,
regulations, as well as implementation guidelines and other reference information .

Financial Implications: The revenue to be generated from Futuresign Multimedia Displays
Inc. will be based on an annual fixed rate covering both the CHDRC Arena and DBA as
outlined below:
Licence Year Annual Fee
Year 1 - (Dec. 1, 2025 – Nov. 30, 2026) $24,900.00
Year 2 - (Dec. 1, 2026 – Nov. 30, 2027) $26,025.00

GALCC was originally constructed and opened in 2001. After nearly 25 years of continuous
use, the facility requires renewal to remain safe, functional, and welcoming. The building is
highly valued and heavily used by the community, but some of its systems and finishes have
reached the end of their service life. Timely investment will ensure the facility’s longevity while
modernizing key systems and components to serve the community.
The proposed renovations will modernize GALCC , improving accessibility, comfort, and
technology while creating more welcoming and flexible spaces for the community. Interior work
will focus on renovations to the library, east corridor, public washrooms, staff offices and
mechanical and accessibility upgrades. Exterior elements include resurfacing the existing
parking lot, replacing existing lighting with energy efficient LED fixtures, and reconfiguration of
the driveway and pedestrian access to accommodate the planned widening of Kingston Road
by Durham Region.

Discussion: The purpose of this report is to award professional consulting services
required for the design and associated work for the renovation of GALCC .
Built in 2001, GALCC is a much-loved and heavily used facility, but its systems and finishes
are showing their age. Water drainage issues, roof deterioration, and HVAC imbalances are
already affecting comfort and efficiency, and will eventually lead to further damage and higher
repair costs. Timely investment will prevent escalating issues while modernizing the building to
serve the community for the next 20 years or more.
Key issues driving the need for renovations include:
•Interior renovations: Evolving public library usage calls for updating branch spaces
and replacing outdated furniture, fixtures, and finishes. Tightly packed staff areas
throughout the facility no longer function effectively and need to be reconfigured to
adapt to current and future use. The existing public washrooms also require cosmetic
upgrades due to wear and tear. Minor upgrades to acoustic separations, lighting and life
safety systems will also be considered throughout the building.
•Exterior repairs: Water drainage problems exist along the east wall that will be
repaired, along with roof repairs. The sloped portions of the east wall, next to the
parking lot, are clad in an exterior insulation and f inish system, which has been stained
with heavy water flows and wear over time. The grading between this wall and the
adjacent parking lot and sidewalks drains poorly and requires correction. The parking lot
will be resurfaced, lighting fixtures upgraded to LED for energy efficiency and lighting
levels improved for safety and accessibility. The project will also adapt the existing
driveway, sidewalk and accessibility ramp along Kingston Road to accommodate plans
for its future widening.
Project Cost under (over) approved funds by
88,576.00
- 27 -
CS 32-25 November 3, 2025
Page 4
•Mechanical system performance: Major upgrades and lifecycle replacement to the
facility’s existing HVAC systems have recently been completed. Interior air distribution
and control systems will be upgraded and re-balanced as part of this renovation.
•Accessibility and safety: Upgrades are needed to the entry ramp, entrances, doors,
and wayfinding to meet current accessibility standards. Staff are currently completing an
exterior lighting study for this facility. Its findings will be addressed as part of this
renovation project.
•Aging finishes and spaces: Flooring, walls, and ceilings are worn, and will be
updated.
In addition to addressing these essential repairs, the renovations will refresh and modernize
the facility to better support current and future community needs. Improvements will include
flexible program spaces, new technology, more efficient building systems, and enhancements
to accessibility and comfort, with the majority of interior work to be focused in the branch library
spaces.
In accordance with Report CS 04-23 (Resolution #79/23), the City applied for grant funding for
this project with a more substantial project scope through the federal government’s Green and
Inclusive Community Buildings (GICB) program . The GICB grant program includes significant
requirements for energy efficiency improvements. The City’s application was unsuccessful,
thus the proposed scope of the renovation has been scaled back by removing many of the
recommended upgrades.
Subject to Council approval, design work will commence immediately, anticipating completion
by Q4 of 2026.
Request for Proposal No. RFP2025-10 was advertised on the City’s bids&tenders portal on
July 17, 2025, and closed on August 18, 2025. Ten proposals were submitted. The Evaluation
Committee, consisting of staff from Community Services, Library and Procurement, reviewed
and evaluated submitted proposals based on each proponent’s experience and qualifications,
similar or related projects, understanding of the project, and pricing.
All required pre-conditions of award have been received, reviewed and approved. The top
ranked proposal submitted by Barry Bryan Associates, in the amount of $263,558.40 (net
HST), is recommended for approval. The total gross project cost is estimated to be
$412,450.00 and the total net project cost is estimated at $371,424.00 (net HST).

Report to
Executive Committee
Report Number: CS 33-25
Date: November 3, 2025
From: Laura Gibbs
Director, Community Services
Subject: Post Manor Feasibility Study Update
1970 Brock Road
File: A-1440-001
Recommendation:
1.That Report CS 33-25 regarding Post Manor Feasibility Study Update be received;
2.That staff be directed to take no further action in regard to the feasibility of repurposing
the Post Manor as an art gallery /studio; and
3.That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the necessary
actions as indicated in this report.
Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the Post
Manor property .
As per Resolution #280/23, staff were directed to enter into discussions with Brock and
Kingston Holdings Inc. to conduct a f easibility study for an art gallery/studio in the heritage
building Post Manor, located at 1970 Brock Road, and to consult with relevant cultural
organizations as part of the f easibility study (Attachment 1).
At the Executive Committee meeting of September 3, 2024, through Report CS 28-24, staff
recommended further disc ussions on the possibility of leasing or purchasing the space for use
as a public art gallery, anticipating occupancy in 2029, and report back to Council in Q4, 2025
(Resolution #574/24).
Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report respond
to the Pickering Strategic Plan Priority of Foster an Engaged & Informed Community.
Financial Implications: Brock and Kingston Holdings Inc. have identified an estimated
lease rate of $40 per square foot, for the Post Manor at approximately 3,800 square feet. The
City’s estimated cost of the annual lease is $152,000.00. As per Report CS 28-24, the
feasibility study identified an estimated net operating cost of approximately $336,318.00. In
addition, one-time lease improvements were estimated to cost between $285,000.00 to
$380,000.00.
- 30 -
CS 33-25 November 3, 2025
Page 2
Therefore, the estimated net annual operating expense to operate the Post Manor as a public
art gallery is $488,318.00, with one time fit out costs averaging around $332,500.00.
Discussion: The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the feasibility of leasing
the Post Manor property to operate as a public art gallery .
1. Project Background
Brock and Kingston Holdings Inc. has submitted applications for an Official Plan Amendment
(OPA 20-008/P) and a Zoning By -law Amendment (A 13-20) to support a high-density, mixed-
use development at 1970 Brock Road. As part of the proposal, the developer plans to retain
the designated heritage building known as the Post Manor, with the intent of repurposing it for
non-residential use.
To explore the viability of using the Post Manor as an art gallery or studio space, the City
engaged cultural consulting firm Nordicity in April 2024 to conduct a f easibility study. Nordicity
engaged with 22 stakeholders and cultural organizations, completed an environmental scan,
needs analysis, review of the Heritage Impact Study, and provided recommendations. The
study revealed strong community interest in transforming the Post Manor into a creative
community hub.
Report CS 28-24 shared the findings of the feasibility study at the Executive Committee
Meeting of September 3, 2024 (Attachment 2). Brock and Kingston Holdings Inc. confirmed
their interest to lease or sell the Post Manor to the City for use as an art gallery. Public
engagement led by Nordicity demonstrated support for the use of the Post Manor as an art
gallery and community hub, however several challenges were identified through the feasibility
study including the building’s relatively small size, the duplication of an art gallery with the new
John E. Anderson Exhibit Gallery located at the Dorsay Community & Heritage Centre, long
planning timeline for the development of the site, and unknown costs related to fit-out and
ongoing maintenance of the historic building.
2. Project Update
Since the last update on the feasibility study was provided to Council in September, 2024 the
following information has been confirmed:
A. 1970 Brock Road Design Development
The design for the 1970 Brock Road development has been substantially revised since the
approval of the site-specific Zoning By -law 8006/26. Investigations of the site revealed a high-
water table, making the construction of deep underground parking expensive. This has
resulted in a change of building form and the proposed removal of the at-grade townhouses.
To address parking concerns, the lowest underground level has been removed. Now, parking
includes one larger underground level, with two above-ground lev els that include
approximately 55 at-grade parking spaces that are dedicated for commercial/retail use only .
- 31 -
CS 33-25 November 3, 2025
Page 3
During initial discussions with Brock and Kingston Holdings Inc., a new , full basement of
approximately 2,000 square feet was to be constructed to support the Post Manor building.
The basement would support moving the building from its current location to a new location on
the site. Brock and Kingston Holdings Inc. have since eliminated plans to construct a
basement for the Post Manor , making room for more parking below -grade to meet the City’s
site-specific parking standards for the property . The latest plans (June 19, 2025) which remove
the basement provide 0.70 spaces/unit while the Zoning By-law 8006/23 requires 0.85
spaces/unit.
The elimination of the basement removes 2,000 square feet from the building and eliminates
multiple key amenities required for the successful operation of an art gallery including a
kitchen, storage spaces for collections or program materials, exhibition preparation areas,
office space, and mechanical equipment storage.
B. Post Manor Lease Assessments
Brock and Kingston Holdings Inc. estimate a lease rate of $38–$40 per square foot for the Post
Manor building. As a comparison, staff reviewed recent market reports for the Greater Toronto
Area (GTA).
• Durham Region retail rents range from $32–$38 per square f oot, with newer properties
at the higher end.
• Suburban GTA areas like Pickering and Vaughan show rents between $35–$45 per
square foot, with top locations reaching $50 per square foot.
• Market trends show a 3–5% increase in retail rents in early 2025 due to rising
construction costs and strong demand for accessible ground-floor retail.
Overall, the proposed lease rate is in line with current market conditions.
C. Project Timing
Based on the latest project update, the Post Manor w ould not be available for public use in the
next five years.
a) A formal site plan submission for the development at 1970 Brock Road has yet to be
submitted to the City.
b) Based on low market demand, occupancy for the site is no longer estimated for 2029.
c) Given that the project remains in the pre-approval phase, with planning applications
under review , it will be subject to further refinement based on community feedback and
technical studies.
d) Infrastructure servicing, heritage conservation requirements, and parking compliance
are expected to influence final site plan approvals and construction timelines.

construction phase.
D.John E. Anderson Gallery set to open April 2026
While Brock and Kingston Holdings Inc. remain interested in leasing the Post Manor property
to the City of Pickering for use as an arts gallery or arts hub, the City is currently focused on
launching its first municipal gallery space at the Dorsay Community & Heritage Centre in
spring 2026. This purpose-built exhibit venue, with the necessary support spaces including a
basement, will feature a rotating schedule of exhibitions, highlight local and regional artists,
and include complementary programming such as workshops, talks, and community -led
initiatives.
Therefore, staff recommend no further action be taken on repurposing Post Manor for an art
gallery/studio.

From: Laura Gibbs
Director, Community Services
Subject: Post Manor Feasibility Study
-File: A-1440-001
Recommendation:
1. That Report CS 28-24 regarding the Post Manor Feasibility Study by received;
2. That staff be directed to continue discussions with Brock and Kingston Holdings Inc. on
acquiring the Post Manor building, for lease or purchase for use as a public art gallery ,
anticipating an occupancy date in 2029, and report back with an update to Council by Q4,
2025; and
3. That the appropriate City officials be authorized to take the necessary actions as outlined
in this report.
Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to present a feasibility study regarding
the use of the Post Manor as a public art gallery.
At the Council Meeting on September 25, 2023, Council directed staff to enter into discussions
with Brock and Kingston Holdings Inc. to conduct a Feasibility Study for an art gallery /studio in
the heritage building Post Manor, located at 1970 Brock Road, and to consult with relevant
cultural organizations as part of the Feasibility Study; and that staff report back to Council with
recommendations no later than Q3, 2024 (Resolution #280/23).
Staff contracted consulting group, Nordicity, specializing in cultural planning, in April 2024 to
undertake the Feasibility Study (Attachment 1). Through the feasibility study it is identified that,
based on existing preliminary understanding of the current state of the Post Manor building,
there is significant appetite from the creative community for Post Manor to be used as a
community creative hub and art gallery space. The Post Manor development could be feasible
provided continued engagement with the community, a clear commitment and vision for the
space, and eventual initiation of start-up and operations.
Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report
respond to the Pickering Strategic Plan Priorities of Champion Economic Leadership &
Innovation; Advocate for an Inclusive, Welcoming, Safe & Healthy Community ; Advance
Innovation & Responsible Planning to Support a Connected, Well-Serviced Community ; and
Strengthen Existing & Build New Partnerships.

Subject: Post Manor Feasibility Study Page 2
Financial Implications: The feasibility study identified that the cost of fit-out is estimated, at
a minimum, approximately between $285,000 and $380,000. If more extensive capital repairs
and upgrades are required on the building, the capital costs are estimated to be as high as
$800,000. The annual net operating cost for the facility is estimated to be between $250,000
and $340,000. The annual operating cost does not include lease costs.
Since the development at 1970 Brock Road is not expected to be completed until at least
2029, there are no financial impacts associated with the recommendations in this report at this
time.
Further discussions are required with Brock and Kingston Holdings Inc. to refine the full scope
of financial implications.
Discussion: The purpose of this report is to provide an update on Resolution #280/24
regarding the feasibility of an art gallery /studio in the designated heritage building Post Manor ,
located at 1970 Brock Road.
Brock and Kingston Holdings Inc. submitted applications for an Official Plan (OPA 20-008/P)
and Zoning By -law Amendment (A 13-20), proposing a high density, mixed-use development
on the lands municipally known as 1970 Brock Road. This development includes the retention
of a designated heritage building, known as the Post Manor, which is intended to be used for
non-residential use.
On March 27, 2023, Council approved site-specific Official Plan Amendment 47 and Zoning
By-law Amendment 8005/23, to facilitate the proposed development, which includes an ‘art
gallery/studio’ as a permitted use on the subject lands.
1. There is interest from Kingston Holdings Inc. in the City leasing or purchasing the
Post Manor building for use as an art gallery
The City contracted consulting group, Nordicity in April 2024, to undertake the Feasibility
Report. Shortly after contracting, staff coordinated a meeting with Nordicity, Brock and
Kingston Holdings Inc., and their associates: The Biglieri Group Inc. and ERA Architects Inc .,
on May 10, 2024 to review the designated heritage building Post Manor site plans, dimensions,
and determine how the space could be used. At this meeting it was confirmed that current
plans including moving the Post Manor on the site and setting it on a new foundation, which
will include a full basement.
Currently the lease tenants extend into 2029, after such lease agreements end, there are
construction activities such as relocation of the house, basement upgrade and excavation of
the parking garage and other construction activities.
While meetings with Brock and Kingston Holdings Inc. demonstrated interest in the City
operating the Post Manor as an Art Gallery , further discussions are required to determine the
following:
- 36 -
CS 28-24 September 3, 2024
Subject: Post Manor Feasibility Study Page 3
a) The conditions of the possession of the building. This includes further discussion of
lease costs and conditions, and a purchase price for the building. In recent discussions
with Brock and Kingston Holdings Inc. it was determined to be too early in the process
to determine the conditions of possession.
b) The state of the building for occupancy. Further discussion is required to ascertain if
the Post Manor would be available to the City in good condition, and if the process to
move the building would result in any enhancements that would support its use as an
art gallery. This includes the provision for moving the building to a new, full basement,
upgraded electrical, and capital repairs to the building (like accessibility improvements
etc.).
c) The consideration of adjacent outdoor grounds. The feasibility study explored
options to use adjacent grounds and gardens surrounding the Post Manor in providing
public space or outdoor programs. The adjacent outdoor space should be included in
further discussions with Brock and Kingston Holdings Inc .
2. Community Consultation demonstrated support for use of the Post Manor as an Art
Gallery and community hub
Nordicity met with 22 stakeholders and relevant cultural organizations in one-on-one and small
group meetings to conduct outreac h and consultations. These stakeholders included local
artists and creators, Pine Ridge Arts Council, members of the Indigenous Relationship Building
Circle, the Cultural Advisory Committee, and school boards. In addition to outreach
c onsultations, Nordicity compared 24 similar facilities for operation information, features and
offerings.
Information gathered from the feasibility study (based on existing preliminary understanding of
the Post Manor building) identified there is significant appetite from the creative community for
this space to be used as a “community hub and art gallery space”.
Based on community input, Nordicity has recommended the following vision for this space, “a
community -based, local space for artists to create, network and exhibit their work. In this
vision, The Post Manor evolves beyond ‘just a gallery’ – it would be a place to create and
exhibit art, to teach or participate in workshops, to host events and engage with the community
(both fellow artists and the public).”
The consensus from the community is that such a space would respond to the priority needs of
emerging and established artists in Durham Region. Nordicity reporting that they repeatedly
heard that residents ‘don’t have a space like this in Pickering.’ Some interviewees described
the ease with which they could imagine telling their friends and fellow artists, ‘see you at the
Manor’ or ‘m eet me at the Manor’, as it could become a go to spot for engagement and
interaction.

Subject: Post Manor Feasibility Study Page 4
3. The feasibility study identified some challenges to operating an art gallery in the
space
a. The Post Manor is constrained by an approximately 3,600 square foot size. As the
building was originally designed as a residential facility, it is relatively small for use as a
public community space.
b. The City is constructing the first public gallery space at the Pickering Heritage &
Community Centre. Distinguishing the Post Manor from this space will require clear
communication of its unique mandate and operations.
c. The long planning timeline for the construction of the site and anticipated occupancy of
the space may result in decreased buy -in from the local arts community. Operation of
this space as an art gallery is not expected before 2029.
d. Capital and fit-out costs require further research and discussions with Brock and
Kingston Holdings Inc. to determine the state of the building on commencement of a
lease or purchase. As this is an historic building, dating from 1842-1843, there are
additional considerations, including preserving the heritage value of the building, which
may add costs to the fit-out and ongoing operations of the facility.
4. Further consideration and consultation in the operation of the space is
recommended
The intent of the feasibility study was to assess whether the Post Manor is an appropriate or
feasible community art gallery. Based on consultations, the greatest enthusiasm from the local
arts and culture community is for re-invigorating the Post Manor as a community arts hub. This
hub would include the capacity for a community gallery and exhibition space.
The Study recommends the following next steps:
• At this preliminary stage, it is recommended that the City undertake further
consultations to build a stronger vision, governance model and more concrete
assumptions for costs and demand or usage.
• Some stakeholders were not able to fully engage with the study and should be engaged
in future consultations. This includes the 55+ population, the post-secondary institutions,
and deeper engagement with cultural communities.
• Further discussions with regard to ownership model, for example investigating whether
a long-term lease at below market rates would be feasible, or whether the City could
purchase the facility for a nominal figure.
• More detailed costing is required on the capital and fit-out expenses for this facility. As
part of this feasibility study, Brock and Kingston Holdings Inc. confirmed that they are
open to further discussions about upgrading mechanical systems, moving the building
and constructing new foundations/basement; however, the details of at what point the
fit-out expenses would be carried by the next owner or operator need to be clarified.

Executive Summary
Background and Objectives
The City of Pickering engaged Nordicity to undertake a Feasibility Study for the Post Manor Building to
explore the suitability of the building as an art gallery space. This report represents the findings,
modelling, and recommendations as to next steps based on the research, consultations, and analysis
conducted between April to August 2024. The purpose of the study was to 1) understand current Post
Manor property and how it fits into the proposed development, 2) assess potential demand for a
gallery by holding preliminary consultations with local arts, culture and creative sector stakeholders,
3) scan similar spaces and galleries to examine what facilities and programs they offer and how they
are funded, 4) define the emerging vision for the future Post Manor, based on the consultations and
analysis, and 5) perform preliminary research into how the Post Manor could be run and its
approximate costs.
The term "feasibility study" can represent a wide range of expected activities and outcomes. Nordicity
understood that the City's decision to undertake this study was driven by a proposed major
redevelopment where the Post Manor building sits and a previous heritage impact assessment
conducted for the site, with many details of the overall redevelopment and how the Post Manor
building will fit into the overall completion of the site still yet to be known. Therefore, this report
represents the initial first step in exploring future use of the Post Manor building.
Considering factors such as the capacity and location of the Post Manor building, it was found that
certain scenarios align with the City's objectives. Therefore, feasibility depends on c ertain conditions
being met, namely: continued engagement with the community as the redevelopment of the site
progresses, a clear vision and sound execution, and successful marketing and communications to
foster and retain community users.
On this basis, this study found that based on existing preliminary understanding of the current
state of the Post Manor building, there is significant appetite from the creative community for
Post Manor to be used as a community creative hub and art gallery space. The Post Manor
development could be feasible provided continued engagement with the local community, a
clear vision for the space, and further commitments towards start-up and operational
responsibilities.
Approach
Nordicity's approach to the work centred on being pragmatic, flexible, and collaborative. A review of
background materials leading up to this project highlighted the significant role of arts and culture in
the City and underscored the City's commitment to supporting this sector. From this rationale, the
project team undertook the following steps in our approach: an analysis of property meeting with the
City of Pickering, Biglieri Group, Brock and Kingston Holdings Inc., CMV Group and ERA Architect Inc.
representatives; an environmental scan of over 20 local and regional facilities and focus on 3 major
case studies; stakeholder outreach and consultations engaging some 22 local stakeholders; and
development of one core operating model.
In the analysis, the project team adopted a conservative and exploratory lens based on research
(desk research and group discussions), analysis of comparatives, operating and business model
considerations, and capital cost and revenue estimates. At the same time, we acknowledge the energy
and enthusiasm within the arts community for the appetite to see more arts facilities in Pickering.
Emerging Vision for the Post Manor Building
It was found that in preliminary, pulse-check consultations with the creative community in Pickering,
enthusiasm for a "pure" art gallery at the Post Manor site was only moderate. The excitement of the

1. Context for this Report
The Post Manor is a Greek revival-s tyle farmhouse in Pickering that was built in 1842-1843 for Jordan
and Matilda Post. The house served as a residence and passed through different owners until 1985,
when the house and surrounding site were redeveloped as a low-rise commercial plaza. Today, the
Post Manor is designated under the Ontario Heritage Act and is recognized as a landmark by the local
community.
In 2022, ERA Architects (ERA) conducted and presented a Heritage Impact Assessment to the
Pickering Heritage Advisory Committee. The motivation for this assessment is a proposed major new
development at the location of the Post Manor. ERA were tasked to assess the impact of the proposed
development on The Post Manor. ERA proposed that the Post Manor be retained, relocated and
rehabilitated. The relocation takes the Post Manor slightly northeastwards on the site. The suggested
rehabilitation would make the Post Manor fit for public-facing, commercial use -including
accessibility and other upgrades in keeping with today's demands.
[>
Figure 11970 Brock Road, Pickering- Landscape Concept, by ERA Architects (2022)
The Post Manor space itself is approximately 3,800 sq. ft., with 2,335 sq. ft. on the main floor and 1,500
sq. ft. on the second floor and a future planned basement of aproximately 2,000 sq ft. Notably, this
measurement excludes a potential basement, which could be constructed upon relocation of the
building. Regarding its placement on the property, the plan is to move the building slightly northeast
of its current location, closer to the street, to maintain visibility. If acquired, the building will largely
remain as is, with some potential for various upgrades in the longterm. While minor alterations may
be made to adapt the space for public use, there are no plans for major extensions or revitalization
efforts. For example, the mechanical system will be updated during the move. Accessibility is also a
key consideration for the study, and there are plans to make the building accessible, such as adding a
ramp. However, details about these accessibility measures are currently limited.

Report to
Executive Committee
Report Number: FIN 17-25
Date: November 3, 2024
From: Stan Karwowski
Director, Finance & Treasurer
Subject: 2026 User Fees
- File: F-2000-001
Recommendation:
1. That Council approve the General Municipal Fees and Charges 2026 By-law (to amend
By-laws 6191/03) and Schedule I, as set out in Attachment 1, and incorporate these into
the 2026 Current Budget; and,
2. That the appropriate City of Pickering officials be given authority to take the necessary
actions to give effect thereto.
Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to seek Council approval of the
recommended 2026 User Fees, as proposed in the attached General Municipal Fees and
Charges 2026 By-law, to allow for implementation effective January 6, 2026.
User Fees are an important source of revenue for the City of Pickering and help to cover all or
some of the cost of delivering customer-specific services such as recreational programs,
licenses, and processing development applications. These fees benefit the community by
reducing the tax rate and ensure that the City continues to provide high quality programs and
services.
A general increase in user fees of 2.75 percent to 3.00 percent is recommended for 2026 to
address City cost pressures including: higher wages, inflationary increases, increased costs for
utilities, and higher costs for equipment purchases and maintenance, balanced with the need
to keep fees affordable. The proposed 2026 User Fee & Charges Schedule is included in
Attachment 1.
The Municipal Price Index (MPI) is different than the Consumer Price Index (CPI) due to the
fact it is a different basket of goods that is being used to measure cost increases. MPI is
higher because it includes factors such as construction costs and Council approved labour
contracts. The recommended 2.75 to 3.00 percent increase allows the City to recover
increased operating costs arising from inflation and tariffs.
Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report respond
to the Pickering Strategic Plan Corporate Key of Deliver on Good Governance – Customer
Service Excellence.
- 72 -
FIN 17-25 November 3, 2025
Page 2
Financial Implications: The revised User Fees will be incorporated into departmental
budgets through the 2026 Budget development process. The 2026 User Fee increase is
expected to reduce the taxpayer-funded cost of service delivery by $483,000.00 and lower the
City’s required 2026 tax levy increase by approximately 0.5 percent.
Discussion: The purpose of this report is seek Council approval of the recommended 2026
User Fees to allow for implementation effective January 6, 2026.
The City posted the draft 2026 User Fee Schedule on the City’s website on October 3, 2025
and launched a survey at LetsTalkPickering.ca/Budget to capture views from the public
regarding the City’s User Fees. The survey was promoted on social media, Digital Signs, City
website, and enewsletter to all LetsTalkPickering subscribers. The survey closed on October
17th and the City received feedback from eleven contributors with mixed results. Some
respondents recommended no increases to user fees while other respondents recommended
that a greater increase to user fees.
A. Fee Recommendations
Staff considered input from a range of sources in determining the recommended User Fees for
2026, including:
• public engagement and direct customer feedback results throughout the year
• current market conditions, including benchmarking against other area municipalities
• demand for service
• current cost of service delivery
• inflation
• tariffs
Recovery of costs associated with the delivery of services and programs, and ongoing
maintenance of the facilities and equipment is an important principle guiding the City’s
approach to setting user fees. The impact of inflation and new tariffs implemented by the
United States (US) on the City’s service-delivery costs is expected to continue to create
financial pressures in 2026. The City’s cost for salaries, materials, utilities and building
maintenance are all impacted by inflation and US tariffs, putting pressure on both user fees
and the tax levy.
The MPI is used to measure the yearly change in the cost of providing municipal services
which includes Council approved labor contracts, utilities, gas, insurance, repairs, maintenance
and other core expenses that is required to run the City. The MPI is different and higher than
the CPI due to the fact it is a different basket of goods that is being used to measure cost
increases. The recommended 2.75 to 3.00 percent increase allows the City to recover
increased operating costs arising from inflation and tariffs.
Affordability is important to our community, so staff are recommending a balanced approach,
with the general increase in User Fees for 2026 being held to 2.75 to 3.00 percent. This
recommendation balances the need to recover the cost of service delivery and the desire to
- 73 -

limit cost increases for community users. The City also continues to offer Community Support
Programs to assist those members of our community who face financial barriers to
participation. See Attachment 2 for more information about these programs.
