The property was identified as having design, historical, and contextual significance, including its representative architectural style, its connection to the growth of Fairport as a lakeshore settlement, and its contribution to the character of the surrounding neighbourhood. The designation also identified key exterior heritage features to be protected as part of the property’s long-term conservation. • Reviewed a Notice of Intent to Demolish for the Vardon House as part of FGF Phase 2 employment lands. The Committee did not oppose demolition, subject to documentation, salvage, and interpretive commemoration measures.

At the meeting we looked at maps which showed how close the new Uxbridge Urban Provincial Park will be to the planned Northeast Pickering development (NEP). Most of the lands to be transferred to the Province for inclusion in the Park are in Uxbridge Township but a large tract of land owned by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, the Osler Tract, is situated in Pickering and is just one concession away from the NEP. A request from Pickering Council to TRCA to include the Osler Tract in the transfers of land will ensure that this greenspace and Ontario’s first urban provincial park is accessible to residents of the future NEP community, will enable greenspace corridors connecting these lands to other major trail systems including those in the existing and expanded Rouge National Urban Park, and will contribute to economic and tourism opportunities for the Region of Durham. GDA has been working for decades in the areas of land stewardship, land conservation, and passive recreation. We work with municipalities, conservation bodies, governments and private landowners. We look forward to working, as we have in the past, with the City of Pickering to help ensure trail connections exist between communities and conservation lands. Yours sincerely, Elizabeth Calvin Brian Buckles David Morley Corr. 10-26 - 38 - From: Lynn Heights Neighbourhood Association <info@lynnheights.com> Sent: Thursday, May 14, 2026 12:41 AM To: Clerks Web Email <clerks@pickering.ca> Subject: Request for Permission to Install a Permanent Memorial Plaque in Honour of Steve Sattz at Lynn Heights Park A Lasting Tribute to a Neighbour Who Helped Build Our Community Dear Mayor Ashe, Members of Council, and City of Pickering Staff, On behalf of the Lynn Heights Neighbourhood Association, the residents of our community and the Sattz family, I am writing with a heartfelt request for the City of Pickering’s consideration and support to place a small, permanent memorial in Lynn Heights Neighbourhood Park in honour of the late Steve Sattz. Steve was more than a neighbour. He was a friend, a community builder, and one of the founding voices behind the Lynn Heights Neighbourhood Association. Steve helped turn a simple idea into a real neighbourhood movement — one rooted in connection, care, communication, and pride in the place we call home. For nearly four decades, Steve was part of the fabric of Lynn Heights. He knew the people, the streets, the stories, and the spirit of this neighbourhood. He believed deeply in bringing neighbours together, making people feel welcome, and ensuring that our community had a strong and united voice. Whether through everyday conversations, advocacy, helping residents feel heard, or supporting Corr. 11-26 - 39 - improvements such as winter access and care for Lynn Heights Park, Steve gave his time and energy freely because he loved this neighborhood. His passing has left a deep sadness in our community, but also a strong desire to ensure that his legacy is remembered in a dignified and lasting way. We are respectfully asking the City of Pickering to consider authorizing a small, discreet, City-approved commemorative plaque or marker in Lynn Heights Park, installed by the City or under City direction, in accordance with all applicable by- laws, policies, permit requirements, maintenance standards, safety considerations, and any agreement the City may require. This would not be a large monument or anything intrusive. Our vision is a modest plaque that quietly honours Steve’s contribution and reminds future residents that this park and this neighbourhood were strengthened by people who cared enough to get involved. Lynn Heights Park is the natural place for this recognition. It is the heart of our neighbourhood and a shared space where families, children, seniors, and neighbours gather. It represents the very community spirit that Steve worked so hard to build. Placing a plaque there would be a meaningful and appropriate tribute to a man who made his mark not through titles or ceremony, but through service, kindness, conversation, and commitment. We understand that the City has policies, processes, and maintenance considerations for commemorative items in public spaces. We are fully prepared to work respectfully with City staff on the plaque’s wording, size, material, location, installation requirements, safety considerations, and any costs associated with the project. Our intent is to do this properly, with the City’s knowledge, approval, and official endorsement. This request is deeply personal to our neighbourhood. Steve helped give Lynn Heights a voice. He helped bring people together. It would mean a great deal to our small community here in Lynn Heights Neighbourhood to have the City recognize his contribution in the very park that serves the people he cared about. To be clear, the Lynn Heights Neighbourhood Association is not seeking to place, attach, or install anything independently on City property. We are asking Council - 40 - and City staff to identify the appropriate approval path for a City-authorized form of recognition. If a standalone plaque is not possible under the City’s current programs, we would welcome staff’s guidance on suitable alternatives, including a future commemorative bench or tree, a plaque integrated into a City-approved park feature, or another form of recognition that meets City standards. We kindly appeal to the City of Pickering to grant permission for this memorial plaque and to work with us to make it a reality. Steve Sattz’s contribution to Lynn Heights deserves to be remembered, and we believe this small, respectful tribute would be a fitting way to honour a man who gave so much of himself to his neighbours and his community. Thank you for considering this request with compassion and care.

To strengthen continuity and accountability, the Committee implemented an action item tracking approach as an ongoing practice to continuously monitor progress regarding AAC advice and initiatives. Member orientation and ongoing learning emphasized staying current with changes to the Ontario Building Code (OBC) that relate to accessibility, as well as emerging provincial and federal accessibility standards and best practices. This reinforced the AAC’s commitment to help the city go beyond minimum accessibility requirements wherever feasible. During the fall, the AAC also previewed the 2026 meeting calendar, noting election-year impacts on - 43 - scheduling, and received general clarification on governance and appointment processes to support orderly transitions. 1.2 Awareness Activities Canada Day remained a high-visibility opportunity to engage Pickering residents in conversations about opportunities to improve City accessibility. AAC members and strategic partners again hosted the daytime Tranquility Tent – a quiet, shaded space designed for guests who benefit from a low-stimulus environment - and coordinated member participation and public consultation regarding accessibility throughout the event. The city advanced the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower (HDS) initiative. Council’s endorsement of corporate membership enabled training and materials to roll out across facilities, with a public launch and broader business outreach planned in 2026. The Committee tracked progress toward achieving the Sunflower 80% staff training goal and looked for opportunities to align the HDS program launch and messaging with major City events. To inform renewal of the 2026-2030 Multi-Year Accessibility Plan (MYAP), the AAC developed and promoted a public survey and encouraged the use of plain language, multiple accessible formats, and response options that recognize both visible and non-visible disabilities. The aim was to reach diverse audiences with lived experience of a broad range of disabilities, and to surface local accessibility barriers and priorities. 1.3 Plans, Policies, Standards, and Implementation The City prepared its provincially-required 2025 AODA Compliance Report based upon extensive pre-verification by the Pickering Accessibility Core Staff Team. The AAC reviewed pre-verification work performed and endorsed the submission of a “fully compliant” report which City Council subsequently approved (Resolution #880/25). AAC members emphasized the importance of ongoing staff training, consistent accessibility performance tracking, and maintaining sufficient, appropriate evidence of compliance to enable the City to respond expediently and strongly to any future Regulator enquiries or audits. In parallel, the AAC favoured integrating evolving federal accessibility standards, recent Ontario Building Code (OBC) amendments, and best accessibility practices into Pickering’s municipal policy tools and the 2026-2030 MYAP, continuing the City’s emphasis on proactively pursuing accessibility by design. To improve pedestrian safety and maintain winter access, the AAC recommended steps to identify high-risk areas for prioritizing snow clearing and to coordinate approaches across jurisdictions (e.g., provincial, regional, and rail partners). These discussions arose from resident concerns about icy conditions on Pickering’s pedestrian GO Transit bridge and highway entrances. 1.4 Consultation & Collaboration As discussed above, a public accessibility survey was designed and launched. This survey will directly inform development of the City’s 2026-2030 MYAP. Feedback garnered from - 44 - residents, staff and other accessibility advocates, particularly those who live with one or more disabilities, will directly inform how the city will aim to improve accessibility in its services, communications, programs, facilities, employment practices, and public spaces. The AAC deepened its work on accessible housing. Following an informative engagement with the Accelerating Accessibility Coalition, a provincial-scoped advocacy group, the Committee collaborated with City Planning staff to pioneer a draft Accessibility Checklist for Developers intended to encourage their design teams to fairly consider accessibility best practices, sometimes going beyond mere compliance with code minimums. Members also explored incentives, education, and a proposal for an Accessibility Orientation Symposium to convene industry, municipal peers, and community advocates to increase the accessibility of residential accommodations in the city. Further planning and partnership considerations to advance community residential accessibility, including a possible future symposium, will be included in the 2026-2030 MYAP under development. The Committee continued to collaborate with community partners to inform inclusive programming. Autism Home Base outlined opportunities for consultation, representation, and training, including prospective participation in the design considerations for the Dorsay Community & Heritage Centre and presence at City events such as Canada Day. The AAC also discussed the Pathways to Employment (P2E) initiative, a partnership of the city with the Abilities Centre. The Committee recognized the value of prior P2E placements and encouraged exploration of continuity for job seekers beyond initial work terms. It was noted that a potential 2026 P2E phase would be conditional on sufficient HR capacity. The AAC provided input to the City’s Microsoft Dynamics–enabled Digital Strategy. The AAC recommended tagging accessibility-related cases for analytics, preserving non-digital service channels for residents who need them, and introducing quick access options (such as QR codes) at facilities to improve wayfinding, access to information and reporting of accessibility concerns. 1.5 Site Plan Reviews Municipal capital projects benefited from ongoing AAC advice. For example, for the Council Chambers renovation initiative, following an on-site tour to experience current constraints supplemented by a VR-enabled walkthrough, members helped focus the project’s design on acoustics, captioning and/or sign language support, lighting and display sightlines, as well as overall wayfinding. For the Redman House restoration project, updates reflected earlier AAC concerns, including access ramp design, lighting, odour control, and septic capacity planning aligned to anticipated demand. Facilitated by City Development Department staff, the AAC reviewed and provided advice for all site plans submitted by developers for City approval. For these private developments, the AAC often advocated for accessibility that exceeds OBC minimums. Recurring themes included increasing accessible visitor parking, widening sidewalks and examining circulation patterns, enabling ground-level access options (especially where stacked townhomes are proposed), and selecting inclusive playground surfaces and ramped entries to improve usability for children and caregivers employing mobility devices. - 45 - 2.0 2026 Proposed Work Plan The AAC’s 2026 Work Plan translates the above lessons into concrete actions. The Committee will continue to champion barrier removal across programs, services, communications and facilities while supporting completion of Pickering’s MYAP for 2026–2030. The City’s election cycle will abbreviate the Committee’s meeting calendar in June 2026; goals and timelines below reflect this consideration. The AAC’s priorities and first-quarter achievements for 2026 are described below. 2.1 Awareness Activities • Accessibility Training and Orientation for New Council and Committee Members – Ensure new Members of Council and its Committees receive timely, accessibility training and orientation; • Hidden Disabilities Sunflower (HDS) Program – Continue collaborations to heighten the profile of and expand the HDS program through staff and volunteer training; rollout of an HDS public communications plan; and integration of HDS initiatives into the 2026 Municipal Election administration to support voters with a wide range of non-visible disabilities; and further encourage HDS adoption within the business community through support for outreach and recognition opportunities; and • Canada Day – Continue to host the popular Canada Day Tranquility Tent to profile partner programs that support mental health and inclusion; promote the HDS program and its resources; and collect feedback to inform the development of the 2026-2030 MYAP and future accessible program offerings. 2.2 Plans, Policies, Standards, and Implementation • 2026-2030 MYAP – Support the completion of the City’s public accessibility survey and 2026-2030 MYAP.; • Recreation Programs & Inclusive Services – In collaboration with Community Services, accessibility advocates and other accessibility partners (e.g., Autism Home Base), seek to expand innovative, inclusive recreation program offerings; embed accommodation- capture in registration; and explore a single resident profile to streamline accommodations across City services. For example, in March 2026, the AAC supported exploration of a bi-weekly accessible public skating pilot at the Chestnut Hill Developments Recreation Complex, emphasizing inclusive design, partnerships, alignment with City events, and feedback mechanisms. Further, a significant research resource was identified that will inform Pickering’s accessible recreation program designs going forward; • Corporate Facilities & Operations – Collaborate with Facilities to review practices and accountability regarding accessible power-operated door reliability. In 2026 AAC members raised recurring issues with automatic door function at City facilities and supported a motion requesting a staff review and report outlining current maintenance practices, identified gaps, and options to improve door reliability and accountability. The Committee also highlighted winter operations, including the need to keep accessible - 46 - City facility parking stalls and routes clear during snow events and to prevent snow from being piled in designated spaces; • The AAC will maintain oversight of walkways, curb cuts, tactile plates, crossings, parks, and playgrounds, with issues logged through Digital Services for analytics and trend reporting; • Transportation & Winter Safety – Collaborate with Pickering’s Accessibility Core Staff Team to identify high-risk pedestrian areas for snow clearing; promote multi- jurisdictional coordination (e.g., Region, Province, Metrolinx) to improve winter access at the Pickering GO Transit pedestrian bridge as well as highway entrances; and provide advice on wayfinding and safety supports. The AAC will continue to monitor winter operations to ensure accessible parking and routes are maintained; • Parking Accessibility & Enforcement – Continue to collaborate with Parking Enforcement to simplify public reporting of accessible parking permit misuse, standardize data capture, and explore incentives for property managers to improve compliance; and • Digital Accessibility & Data – Collaborate with City’s project team to implement accessibility tagging and analytics within the City’s Digital Strategy while maintaining non-digital service channels and introducing QR or quick-link access at facilities. 2.3 Consultation & Collaboration • Multi-Year Accessibility Plan 2026-2030 (MYAP) – Continue to promote the public accessibility survey to establish evidence to inform the MYAP. Seek to establish clear performance indicators, owners, and timelines; and maintain an evidence repository for future AODA compliance reporting. Publish on pickering.ca and promote community awareness of the 2026-2030 MYAP, once approved by Council; • Accelerating Accessibility Coalition & Municipal Partners – Seek to expand strategic partner liaison and collaboration on accessible initiatives such as Pickering’s Residential Accessibility Checklist and a possible future residential accessibility Symposium; connect with leading municipal peers (e.g., Vaughan, Toronto) for shared learning and to seek potential co-operation; and • Community Partners – Pursue ongoing program design consultation with Autism Home Base and program partnerships at City events such as Canada Day; continue to align Pickering’s accessibility efforts with Durham Region’s planning, as appropriate. 2.4 Site Plan Reviews • Municipal Built Environment & Capital Projects – Continue advisory input on Council Chambers implementation, Redman House remediation, Seaton Recreation Complex & Library design, and Fire Station 5. Emphasis includes accessible parking distribution, evacuation routes, elevator capacity, pedestrian safety near emergency vehicle exits, wayfinding, acoustics, sensory considerations, and coordination with regional infrastructure projects; • Private Developments - Facilitated by Planning Department staff, the AAC will continue to review and provide advice for all site plans submitted by developers for City approval; and - 47 - • Incenting Accessible Housing – Finalize and pilot the Accessibility Checklist for Developers encouraging standards that exceed OBC minimums for visitor parking, pedestrian realm design, ground-level access options etc., in collaboration with City Planning; seek iterative feedback from developers and integrate learnings into the AAC’s site plan guidance. Include a possible future Accessibility Orientation Symposium, in partnership with civic and industry advocates, in the 2026-2030 MYAP.

This Annual Report has been organized by these priorities: Objective: Strengthen residents’ sense of belonging by delivering targeted initiatives that promote social connection, reduce isolation, and build community pride through volunteering opportunities, inclusive programs, and community events. 1. Improve Community Vitality 1. Improve Community Vitality 2. Strengthen Learning, Education, Partnership and Creative Communities 3. Create Safe and Welcoming Neighbourhoods 4. Increase Physical Health and Mental Wellness 5. Improve Living Standards 6. Support Basic Needs 7. Promote Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Accessibility and Reconciliation Introduction In May 2024, the City of Pickering adopted its Community Safety & Well-Being (CSWB) Plan, establishing a shared framework to guide how City departments and community partners work together to support a safe, connected and inclusive community. The Plan identifies seven priority areas that shape both day to day program delivery and longer-term planning across the City. In 2025, the City advanced these priorities through coordinated work across departments and with community agencies, the Community Safety & Well-Being Advisor, and the Community Safety & Well-Being Advisory Committee (CSWBAC). Initiatives included safety education and awareness, health focused programming, support for residents experiencing homelessness, neighbourhood-based activities and culturally responsive engagement. The City also contributed to regional and municipal planning processes on violence prevention, road safety, housing and homelessness, community infrastructure and equity informed policy development. Where relevant, the Committee supported implementation by providing advice and by endorsing initiatives in 2024 that continued into 2025. Together, these efforts demonstrate Pickering’s commitment to building a community where all residents feel safe, supported, connected, and valued. The following report summarizes 2025 progress toward the Plan’s action items and highlights concrete examples of impact across programs and services. - 54 - City of Pickering CSWB Annual Report | 5City of Pickering | CSWB Annual Report | 5 Community Safety Meetings Human Trafficking Awareness Session In partnership with Victim Services of Durham Region (VSDR) and local community associations, the City hosted a Community Safety Meeting that focused on prevalence and realities of human trafficking, how traffickers identify and target victims, early warning signs and practical safety strategies. The session welcomed 33 participants and included on site community resources and free children’s recreation to support accessibility, directly advancing early identification and prevention objectives under the Plan. Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and Gender Based Violence (GBV) Awareness Event During Intimate Partner Violence Prevention Month, residents engaged with VSDR and Herizon House to learn about forms of abuse, local prevalence and available support. With 42 participants and outreach tables from more than nine service providers, the session encouraged help seeking and strengthened community knowledge of supports. Online Safety Session In collaboration with Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS) and community associations, the City delivered an Online Safety Meeting that helped 26 participants build practical skills in protecting privacy, recognizing scams, and participating safely online, reinforcing a proactive approach to community safety. Community Pride In 2025, the City and the Pickering Public Library (PPL) continued to champion inclusion and belonging through a series of Pride-focused programs. Collaboratively, the City and PPL delivered 17 Pride events, creating safe and welcoming spaces for 2SLGBTQIA+ residents and allies. These programs contributed to strengthening community connections, fostering education, and supporting a more inclusive Pickering. Volunteer Opportunities Volunteerism continued to grow, with 186 new volunteers onboarded and a total of 274 volunteers contributing 10,544 hours across programs. Volunteers supported Community Services, Animal Services, major City events, sustainability initiatives and equity, diversity and inclusion programming. New initiatives such as City Centre Awareness, PetSmart Adoption Week, Animal Services fundraisers, Durham Pride Parade support, Hip Hop in the Park, Fairy Tour After Dark, Saturday S’mores at Pickering Museum Village, Family Adventure Day, World Environment Day, the We Grow Food workshop and the Beekeeper and The Honeybees workshop broadened opportunities for residents of all ages. - 55 - City of Pickering CSWB Annual Report | 7City of Pickering | CSWB Annual Report | 6 City of Pickering | CSWB Annual Report | 7 Community Environmental Stewardship Park Stewardship Program This City program encourages businesses and community groups to help keep local parks clean. As of 2025, there are 22 active groups who volunteer to be Park Stewards by making a commitment to do litter cleanups and promote a positive image in their neighbourhood park. Community Litter Cleanups Volunteers participated in litter cleanup initiatives through Pickering’s 20-Minute Makeover, Litter & Plastics Challenge, and the Provincial Day of Action on Litter. This year, 50 community cleanups took place throughout the City, representing over 3,220 participants — a 21 per cent increase from 2024. Take Pride in Pickering In collaboration with Ontario Power Generation (OPG) and Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), the City hosted its annual Take Pride in Pickering Day in the spring, where over 100 community members volunteered to plant 250 trees and clean up litter in Alex Robertson Park. In the fall, the City partnered with OPG, 10,000 Trees, and TRCA for another Take Pride in Pickering Day event, where 75 volunteers planted 500 trees and shrubs. Pickering City Centre Farmers’ Market The City hosted another successful year at the Farmers’ Market to help residents connect with local farmers, bakers, artisans, and small local businesses. Residents enjoyed weekly entertainment by local artists and special events like a corn roast. The market ran for 17 weeks, with approximately 22,300 visitors, supporting upwards of 25 vendors. Lunch & Learns Throughout 2025, a series of lunch and learn sessions were offered to build staff awareness and strengthen understanding of key community safety and well-being issues. These sessions were delivered in partnership with local experts and supported by the Community Safety & Well-Being Advisor, providing accessible opportunities for staff to learn, ask questions, and deepen their knowledge of emerging and complex topics affecting residents. Human Trafficking Awareness In April, VSDR facilitated a lunch and learn focused on human trafficking. The session explored how trafficking occurs, who is most at risk, the techniques traffickers use to recruit and groom individuals, and how to recognize early warning signs. Participants also learned how to respond safely and connect individuals to specialized support. A total of 41 staff attended the session. Objective: Provide meaningful opportunities for residents to learn about community safety and well-being, and to actively contribute to community solutions through creative engagement, education, and collaborative initiatives. 2. Strengthen Learning, Education, Partnership and Creative Communities - 56 - City of Pickering CSWB Annual Report | 9City of Pickering | CSWB Annual Report | 9 Intimate Partner Violence and Gender-Based Violence In June, Herizon House delivered a lunch and learn, and provided an overview of different forms of abuse, the populations most affected, and the local, provincial, and national prevalence of IPV. Presenters also shared information about Herizon House programs and guided staff on how to safely support someone who may be experiencing violence. A total of 21 staff participated in this session. Dementia-Friendly Communities In November, the Alzheimer Society of Durham Region (ASDR) delivered a Dementia Friendly Communities Lunch and Learn that equipped staff with practical tools to recognize signs and symptoms of dementia, adapt communication approaches and respond with empathy using supportive and de-escalation techniques. Through real world scenarios, 25 staff strengthened their confidence when engaging with individuals who may be vulnerable or experiencing cognitive decline. Beyond this single session, the Community Safety & Well-Being Advisor continued advancing the broader Dementia Friendly Communities initiative throughout 2025. In partnership with the ASDR, training opportunities were offered to staff, residents and community partners to increase awareness and build capacity across the community. In total, 182 participants have now completed the training, including 39 new participants in 2025. The dementia initiative provides residents and staff with concrete strategies that support dignity, accessibility and safe community interaction, directly advancing the Plan’s goals for an inclusive and age friendly Pickering. Durham Community Walk to End Intimate Partner Violence In 2025, the Durham Community Walk to End IPV brought together more than 300 residents, survivors, service providers and partners, with CSWBAC members walking alongside City staff to show a shared commitment to prevention and survivor support across Pickering and Durham Region. Organized by the Regional Community Safety and Well-Being team, the walk was supported by eight organizations including Bethesda House, Victim Services of Durham Region, Safety Network Durham, Y’s Wish Shelter, Women’s Multicultural Resource and Counselling Centre, Luke’s Place, The Denise House and Herizon House. Starting at Region of Durham Headquarters, the event honoured survivors, remembered lives lost and called for continued and collective action. In 2024, there were 2,638 IPV related criminal charges in the Region and six women were killed; by fall 2025, Victim Services of Durham Region had already supported more survivors than in all of 2024, underscoring the urgency of prevention, intervention and public education. The walk aligned with both the Regional and City Community Safety and Well-Being Plans by emphasizing violence prevention, community education and improved supports for vulnerable residents. Ontario Works & Ontario Disability Support Program Partnership PPL continued to host weekly walk-in supports for both Ontario Works (OW) and the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP), providing low-barrier access to essential social services. In 2025, OW and ODSP staff supported 48 resident interactions, assisting with financial resources, housing connections, food security supports, counselling referrals, government ID replacement, and help with online government applications. These services ensured that residents could easily access income supports and personalized guidance without the need for appointments. - 57 - City of Pickering CSWB Annual Report | 11City of Pickering | CSWB Annual Report | 10 City of Pickering | CSWB Annual Report | 11 Fire Safety In 2025, Pickering Fire Services responded to 5,470 calls, a 1.9 percent decrease from 2024, with incidents spanning property fires and explosions, pre-fire conditions, false fire and carbon monoxide alarms, public hazards, rescues, medical calls and other responses. Key prevention and education programs included Adopt a School for grade one, Learn Not to Burn for grade three, the Arson Prevention Program for Children or youth exhibiting fire play or fire-setting behaviours, Older and Wiser for older adults and After the Heat neighbourhood outreach following residential fires. Seasonal and community campaigns featured the door-to-door FireSafe Pickering initiative each spring and fall, plus Emergency Preparedness Week, Fire Prevention Week, Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week, and 12 Days of Holiday Fire Safety, alongside fire extinguisher and workplace safety training, station tours, school fair visits and community truck visits. Readiness activities included annual joint training and drills with Ontario Power Generation for the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station and corporate Emergency Management training for City staff, with exercises focused on cybersecurity and nuclear emergency preparedness at the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station. Together, these efforts reduce preventable incidents, strengthen public awareness and ensure coordinated emergency response capacity, directly supporting CSWB priorities for safety education, early risk identification and protection of vulnerable residents. Objective: Create safe, clean, attractive, and welcoming public spaces by enhancing park design, neighbourhood beautification, safe and active transportation routes, public art, outdoor recreation spaces, lighting, cameras, and other features that support health, safety, and community pride. 3. Create Safe and Welcoming Neighbourhoods Professional De-escalation and Mental Health Training In 2025, the Community Safety & Well- Being Advisor continued to expand staff capacity to navigate high pressure and emotionally charged situations. Building on the 2024 cohort, where 13 front- facing staff completed Professional De- escalation and Mental Health training, an additional 30 staff members received the same specialized training in 2025. In total, 43 City staff have now completed the program. Delivered by Step Training Inc., the training provided practical tools to strengthen emotional regulation, enhance situational awareness and maintain professionalism when supporting individuals in distress. The program included two days of Professional De-escalation training, one day of mental health training, scenario-based learning with real world application and a six month online refresher to support long term retention. Participants strengthened their ability to recognize signs of emotional escalation, respond safely and calmly and engage residents using trauma-informed and compassionate approaches. This ongoing investment ensures staff are well prepared to navigate complex interactions while fostering a safe, respectful and supportive environment for all community members.

This initiative ensures that designated staff have the knowledge and skills needed to respond effectively to opioid overdoses using Naloxone, a lifesaving medication. By the end of 2025, a total of 130 staff members had completed the training. The program provides education on recognizing signs and symptoms of opioid overdoses, proper administration of Naloxone, and key safety protocols. Staff also learn about associated risks, including the need to perform CPR when required and the possibility that multiple doses may be necessary. Naloxone kits are positioned near Automated External Defibrillator stations and are maintained by First Responder Coordinators who oversee replenishment of supplies and ensure training remains current. This continued investment demonstrates a proactive commitment to safeguarding employees and the public by ensuring a rapid and informed response to opioid- related emergencies in the workplace. Safety, Self-Defence & Walking Home In 2025, the City continued offering accessible programming that helps residents feel safer moving through their community. In response to strong feedback from the Community Safety Survey, the City delivered a free introductory personal safety and self- defence session in partnership with Villari’s Martial Arts Centre. The workshop supported 71 participants in building awareness, enhancing personal safety and increasing confidence in everyday situations. Led by Master Rob Bartlett, a seventh-degree black belt with more than 30 years of teaching experience, the session provided practical and accessible strategies suitable for all skill levels. Participants learned core skills such as situational awareness, boundary setting and simple defensive techniques for real world scenarios. By offering the program at no cost, the City advanced community safety priorities and responded directly to identified resident needs. - 59 - City of Pickering CSWB Annual Report | 15City of Pickering | CSWB Annual Report | 14 City of Pickering | CSWB Annual Report | 15 Security Cameras In 2025, the City continued expanding and upgrading its closed-circuit television network. New cameras were installed in the following areas to support community safety and well-being: • Rick Johnson Park • Glengrove Park • Pine Grove Park • Amberlea Park • Kinsmen Park (two cameras installed) • Dunmoore Park • Beachfront Boardwalk (two cameras installed) • East Shore Community Centre (four cameras installed replacing older units) Road Safety In 2025, the City continued advancing road safety initiatives in response to community concerns, traffic data and recommendations from the CSWBAC. The City discontinued Automated Speed Enforcement in Community Safety Zones and shifted toward expanded use of radar speed message signs and additional traffic calming tools. The City now operates 15 radar speed message signs. One is permanently installed, while the remaining units rotate to locations identified through resident feedback, staff review and information from DRPS. The City also expanded painted Slow markings on select residential streets and continued using seasonal PedZone bollards and signage to create pinch points that help reduce vehicle speeds. Beyond these measures, the City supported broader community road safety initiatives, including the Please Slow Down lawn sign program and the Ajax Pickering Road Watch Program, where volunteers work with DRPS and City staff to promote driver awareness and assist with monitoring speeding through portable radar signs and licence plate reporting. Looking ahead, the City has engaged consultant CIMA plus to develop Pickering’s Traffic Calming Guidelines Policy, which will guide future decisions and incorporate public consultation. The City is also expanding the use of pedestrian crossovers to improve safety when crossing busy streets. In 2025, the City launched a shared e-scooter pilot program to offer an affordable transportation option for those without access to a car or transit, or for individuals who may find walking or biking long distances challenging. This program will continue in 2026 and is being monitored by City staff. - 60 - City of Pickering CSWB Annual Report | 17City of Pickering | CSWB Annual Report | 16 City of Pickering | CSWB Annual Report | 17 Lakeridge Health COPD Program In 2025, the City continued its partnership with Lakeridge Health to deliver the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Community Exercise Clinic at Chestnut Hill Developments Recreation Complex (CHDRC). Launched in 2024 to address a gap in community-based COPD care, the clinic has become a key health and wellness resource. To date, it has supported more than 200 patients across Durham Region with 2,500 patient visits. The clinic offers weekly, low intensity, supervised exercise and education delivered by Lakeridge Health kinesiology specialists. Each class includes a 30-minute education component and a 30-minute exercise session, with individualized assessments, action plans and ongoing wellness counselling. Participants report improvements in breathing, mobility, confidence and quality of life, including reduced anxiety and better self management of symptoms. To maintain access, Council approved renewal of the licence agreement with Lakeridge Health, allowing the clinic to operate through 2026 at no cost to participants. Objective: Support physical health and mental wellness by creating and enhancing community spaces such as community centres, community gardens, and libraries, and by offering programs that promote active living, social connection, and overall well-being. 4. Increase Physical Health and Mental Wellness Vibe Check: Mental Health 101 In 2025, the CSWB Advisor coordinated Vibe Check, a Jack Talk delivered in partnership with Jack.org. This youth led session brought together 11 participants to explore real stories, ideas, and strategies for strengthening mental health. Designed by youth, for youth, the program created an open and supportive space for participants ages 13 to 26 to connect with one another, challenge stigma, and build practical skills to support themselves and their peers. Through engaging discussion and relatable examples, the session encouraged honest conversations about mental health and empowered young people to take an active role in fostering positive change within their communities. This initiative reflects the City’s commitment to promoting mental wellness and amplifying youth voices in meaningful and accessible ways. Mental Wellness Committee In 2025, the Mental Wellness Committee launched a range of initiatives to support workplace mental health. Highlights included Mental Health First Aid training for an additional 21 staff (an initiative that began in 2024), seminars addressing trauma and stress management and suicide prevention workshops. They also led Conversation Circles, giving employees an opportunity to come together and explore helpful strategies for managing stress and staying mentally healthy. To foster connection and physical well- being, the Committee organized art therapy workshops, a pushup challenge for suicide awareness, and increased employee participation in the Terry Fox Run. Therapeutic Paws of Canada also visited City facilities, offering moments of comfort. Ongoing awareness efforts included sharing mental health resources, key observance dates, and a flag-raising event to reinforce the City’s commitment to mental health advocacy. By providing space at the CHDRC, the City removes cost and travel barriers and reduces reliance on hospital-based services. This program advances the Community Safety & Well-Being Plan by supporting physical and mental wellness through accessible health education, strengthening municipal health partnerships, reducing barriers to preventive care for vulnerable residents and contributing to improved long term health outcomes. - 61 - City of Pickering CSWB Annual Report | 19City of Pickering | CSWB Annual Report | 19 Financial Assistance Recreation Card Program In partnership with the Region of Durham, the City of Pickering continued to support the Recreation Card Program, which helps families access seasonal recreation opportunities.

In 2025, the group collected 695 lbs. of non-perishable food for St. Paul’s on the Hill Community Food Bank as part of regional Hunger Action Month efforts. Across Durham Region, this contribution supported a total collection of 4,239 lbs. of food, demonstrating the meaningful role youth play in advancing community well-being. - 62 - City of Pickering CSWB Annual Report | 21City of Pickering | CSWB Annual Report | 20 City of Pickering | CSWB Annual Report | 21 Support Community Efforts Through Grant Programs The City’s Environmental Schools Grant Program provides Pickering students with the opportunity to implement activities that contribute to a healthy environment. In 2025, projects included creating native flower gardens to attract pollinators, running a Ride or Roll to School campaign with new bicycle and scooter racks, and building outdoor learning spaces with benches and exploration tools. Schools also delivered citizen-science workshops focused on plants and soil, explored the benefits of nature-based learning, observed the monarch lifecycle through a Monarch Butterfly kit, and expanded vegetable and fruit gardens with new materials to enhance outdoor learning. Ovee Outreach Vehicle – Expanding Library Access Ovee, PPL’s outreach vehicle, remained a vital tool for extending library access into neighbourhoods farther from existing branches. In 2025, Ovee completed 281 community visits and engaged 4,920 participants. Residents used the mobile unit to browse materials, attend programs, pick up holds, sign up for library cards, and access information, bringing library services directly into the community. 5. Improve Living Standards Earth Month To celebrate Earth Month, the City hosted free educational workshops with expert guest speakers. In total, 338 participants attended sessions on topics such as vegetable gardening, beekeeping, gardening for City lots and local bird species. Beyond Earth Month workshops, more than 1,500 residents participated in a variety of events and activities, including: • Birds in Your Neighbourhood • Winter Wonders • Know Before You Throw • Compost Giveaway and Bin Exchange • Everything Maple Syrup • Salmon Hatchery • Energy Incentives Workshop Together, these offerings provided hands on learning, strengthened environmental literacy and encouraged practical, sustainable practices across the community. Objective: Improve accessibility and equity by offering low cost, subsidized, or free programs and services, supporting food security and community accessibility, and encouraging business growth that brings new employment opportunities to Pickering. Seed Library Project The Seed Library Project continued to promote sustainability, community gardening, and food security.

The Subcommittee identifies priorities, supports community engagement, conducts research, and provides strategic advice to the CSWBAC on issues related to homelessness and basic needs. Working closely with Durham Region, other levels of government, and community partners, the Subcommittee focuses on solutions that include mental health support, substance use services, wraparound programming, and access to transitional and supportive housing. While the Subcommittee is composed of non-voting members, all recommendations are presented to and approved by the CSWBAC. Throughout 2025, the Subcommittee supported several major initiatives that strengthened public awareness, enhanced access to services, and fostered compassion-driven approaches within the community. As part of its work, the subcommittee helped lead five key initiatives this year: Whiskers and Wellness Whiskers and Wellness Day marked its second successful year in 2025, reaffirming the City’s commitment to compassionate, accessible, and community-informed support for vulnerable and housing- insecure residents and their companion animals. Held on October 5, the initiative reflects a growing recognition that pets play an essential role in stability, mental health, and connection for many community members. Grounded in a ‘One Health’ approach, the program acknowledges the interconnected well-being of people, animals, and the broader community. The event is delivered through a strong partnership between Animal Services, the Community Safety & Well-Being Advisor, local veterinarians, frontline service agencies, and dedicated volunteers. By working together, partners ensure that residents facing hardship can access practical support in a dignified, barrier-free environment. To promote fairness and accessibility, attendance was coordinated through referral pathways established with community agencies. Onsite services included core veterinary supports such as free vaccines, nail trims, flea treatments, ear cleaning, and minor grooming. Each participant received a backpack containing essential supplies, while pets went home with food and items selected to support continued care. A warm meal was also provided, creating a welcoming and supportive space for attendees. In 2025, 32 animals and 26 owners registered, with 24 pets attending alongside several walk-ins. The event was made possible through the commitment of three veterinarians, 17 volunteers, and five partner agencies, supported by a dedicated bus service that ensured safe and reliable transportation for both residents and their pets. This coordinated effort demonstrates the strength of Pickering’s community partnerships and the City’s leadership in mobilizing care where it is needed most. Overall, the 2025 Whiskers and Wellness Day demonstrated how thoughtful municipal leadership, coordinated partnerships, and a commitment to dignity can meaningfully improve the lives of both residents and their animals. World Homeless Day World Homeless Day, on October 10, was led by Durham Region and held at Regional Headquarters. The event began with an opening drumming presentation from local Indigenous artists, followed by speeches from individuals with lived experience. A flag raising and public education segment emphasized shared responsibility, human dignity, and the need for coordinated responses to homelessness across the Region. The City’s involvement reinforced its ongoing commitment to awareness, reconciliation, and collaboration. Objective: Improve access to nutritious food, safe shelter, and essential personal care and hygiene products by strengthening programs and services that support residents experiencing basic needs. 6. Support Basic Needs - 65 - City of Pickering CSWB Annual Report | 27City of Pickering | CSWB Annual Report | 26 City of Pickering | CSWB Annual Report | 27 Us and Them Film Screening The Homelessness Subcommittee and the GAP Committee co-hosted a screening of Us and Them, a documentary chronicling Krista Loughton’s ten-year journey alongside four individuals experiencing chronic homelessness. Through personal stories, the film highlights the power of connection, trust, and human resilience. The event began with a panel discussion facilitated by the GAP Committee and featuring community experts, service providers, and individuals with lived experience. 34 community members attended the screening, engaged with the panel, and participated in thoughtful dialogue about homelessness in Durham Region. Light refreshments were provided, and attendees were invited to submit questions in advance. This event supported the Subcommittee’s goal of raising awareness and fostering informed, compassionate conversation across the community. DARS This Is Home Documentary Premiere The Subcommittee also supported the premiere of This Is Home, a 2025 documentary directed by Eric M Walker. The film highlights the work of Dedicated Advocacy Resource Support (DARS) in transforming a 100-year-old farmhouse into a transitional home for individuals exiting homelessness. Through stories of hope, perseverance, and community support, the documentary showcases the profound impact of stable housing and wraparound care. The premiere took place in November at St. Martin’s Anglican Church and drew 79 attendees, including community members, service providers, and local leaders. The production was supported by DARS and Thompson and Pollock Wealth Inc and serves as an important account of ongoing homelessness response efforts in Pickering. Coldest Night of the Year In 2025, the Homelessness Subcommittee supported Durham Youth Services as they hosted the Coldest Night of the Year event at Peace Lutheran Church in Pickering. Held on February 22, this national fundraising walk raises awareness and funds for organizations supporting individuals experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness. The Pickering event brought together 89 walkers, 10 teams, 32 volunteers, and a total of 121 participants who gathered in solidarity to support youth facing housing instability. Three members of the CSWBAC joined the Community Safety & Well-being Advisor to participate in the walk, demonstrating strong civic support for Durham Youth Services and their mission. Durham Youth Services successfully raised $30,000, meeting their community driven goal and helping sustain their in- school housing support program for youth. These funds directly support prevention, rapid rehousing, and ongoing stabilization services for young people experiencing homelessness in Durham Region. The event showcased the power of community collaboration and compassion, reinforcing the Subcommittee’s commitment to supporting local partners who deliver critical front-line services to residents in need. Overnight Warming Centre For the 2025 to 2026 winter season, the Overnight Emergency Warming Centre continued to be fully funded by Durham Region and facilitated by DARS at Peace Lutheran Church. Although this is not a City-operated program, the City actively referred residents and shared public information to ensure that individuals experiencing homelessness were aware of available supports. A major change for the 2025 to 2026 season was the shift to an ‘every night’ model, operating seven days a week from December 1 through March 31. This approach ensured consistent access regardless of weather fluctuations and provided a reliable, safe space throughout the winter months. The Centre remained open overnight from 8:00 pm to 8:00 am and continued to welcome pets alongside their owners. Guests received warm meals, snacks, clothing, and take-home non-perishable items in a low-barrier, accessible environment. Throughout the season, the Centre has operated at over 100 percent capacity, demonstrating the strong need for this service. DARS continued to provide compassionate, community-based support while connecting individuals to additional resources and assistance through its broader outreach efforts. Durham Region’s ongoing funding and DARS’ commitment to service delivery ensured that residents facing housing insecurity had a safe and dignified place to stay during the coldest months of the year. - 66 - City of Pickering CSWB Annual Report | 29City of Pickering | CSWB Annual Report | 29 Extreme Heat The City provided designated public facilities when an extreme heat warning was issued. During the operating hours of the facilities, residents were able to seek shelter to ensure public safety and well-being. Facilities have included the Central Library, CHDRC, and East Shore Community Centre. Shower Access In 2025, the shower program at the CHDRC arena dressing rooms continued to be operated by DARS, with the City providing the facility space at no cost. While the service is fully facilitated by DARS, the City supports the program by offering the venue and sharing information so that residents who are experiencing homelessness are aware of this essential resource. DARS staff welcome participants on site, provide towels and hygiene packages, and help individuals connect to additional community services. Since assuming responsibility for the program in early 2023, DARS has expanded its reach each year, responding to the growing need for basic hygiene supports among residents facing homelessness. Participation rose sharply in 2025. A total of 332 individuals accessed the shower program this year. This more than doubles the number served in 2024, demonstrating sustained growth in demand for this service. This significant year over year increase highlights the continued need for accessible hygiene supports within the community. Council has approved a Memorandum of Understanding for the period of January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2026, ensuring that DARS can continue delivering this vital service with the City providing space at no cost. Wellness Checks In 2025, the City of Pickering, supported by the Community Safety & Well-Being Advisor, continued to collaborate with local organizations and City departments to respond to the rising challenge of housing insecurity. Wellness checks were led by the Community Safety & Well-Being Advisor with support from the Customer Care Centre, Operations, Bylaw Services, Community Services, and the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer. These checks were carried out in partnership with several external organizations and outreach teams, including DARS, Durham Region’s 24-hour Street Outreach Team, the Mental Health Outreach Program, the Primary Care Outreach Program, the TRCA, and the John Howard Society of Durham Region. Together, these coordinated efforts contributed to both direct wellness checks and the development of municipal encampment strategies. By the end of 2025, approximately 61 individuals were identified as experiencing housing insecurity. This represents a 135 percent increase from 2024. It is important to note that this figure does not fully capture the number of individuals who chose not to be included on the Region of Durham’s By Name List. The By Name List, maintained by Durham Region, is a continuously updated real time registry of individuals experiencing homelessness. It helps service providers monitor needs, coordinate supports, and prioritize access to housing and essential services based on individual circumstances. Participation in the By Name List is voluntary, meaning the actual number of housing insecure individuals living in the community is likely higher than what is recorded. Access to Wi-Fi PPL continued to provide free Wi Fi hotspots and Internet access kits for borrowing, supporting residents with digital connectivity for education, healthcare, housing, and income supports. In 2025, hotspots were circulated 120 times, helping ensure equitable access to reliable Internet for residents across the community. Community Climate Adaptation Plan In May 2025, Pickering Council endorsed the City’s first Community Climate Adaptation Plan (CCAP). Developed with input from residents, community organizations, technical experts, and regional partners, the CCAP serves as a roadmap to integrate climate resilience into City operations, services, and the broader community. The Plan outlines practical, measurable actions to help prepare for and respond to the impacts of extreme heat, heavy rain, and severe weather, with a strong focus on climate equity to support vulnerable populations. - 67 - City of Pickering CSWB Annual Report | 31City of Pickering | CSWB Annual Report | 31 Objective: Strengthen community connection by creating opportunities for engagement and relationship building through safe community spaces, inclusive programs, events, and forms of community expression. This priority supports all focus areas and will continue to evolve based on community needs and context. 7. Promote EDI (Equity, Diversity, Inclusion), Accessibility & Reconciliation Zoning Update Supports Vertical Farming The City’s Consolidated Zoning By law 8149/24 formally recognizes vertical farming as a permitted use within Light Manufacturing Facilities. This definition allows vertical farms in designated Employment and Mixed-Use areas. The updated zoning also supports other urban agriculture uses, including community gardens, rooftop farms, and plant-based manufacturing. These changes help expand opportunities for food production and agri-food innovation across Pickering. Pickering Prom Boutique To ensure equitable access to prom and graduation celebrations, PPL hosted its annual Prom Boutique, where residents donated gently used formal wear for local youth. In 2025, the event supported 112 students, helping them access free dresses, suits, and accessories for milestone events. Protect Your Crown – Black Hair Care and Braiding Workshop In 2025, the City partnered with Protect Your Crown, a Black-led hair care initiative established in early 2024 and supported through the Region of Durham’s Community Safety and Well-Being Micro-Grant program. The workshop aims to empower youth and adults through Black hair care education and the art of braiding, fostering confidence, creativity, and community connection. Protect Your Crown delivered a four-hour, hands-on training session that teaches participants foundational braiding skills including basic braids, cornrows, and French braiding. Each training session creates a safe and supportive space where participants can learn new techniques, build confidence, and explore potential pathways toward financial independence or future career opportunities. - 68 - City of Pickering CSWB Annual Report | 33City of Pickering | CSWB Annual Report | 32 City of Pickering | CSWB Annual Report | 33 The program has continued to grow in popularity, with waitlists of youth and adults eager to participate. Through this partnership, the City helped expand access to culturally relevant programming that supports belonging, self-expression, and positive identity development for residents who identify as Black. Future collaboration will continue to help reach more youth, parents, and community members interested in protective styling and caring for afro textured hair. Egale Canada Workplace Inclusion Training In 2025, the City partnered with Egale Canada to deliver two specialized Workplace Inclusion training sessions aimed at building staff and leadership capacity to foster safer, more inclusive, and affirming work environments for 2SLGBTQI colleagues, community members, and service users. Egale Canada is a national leader in human rights, equity, and inclusion education, offering high quality training that strengthens understanding of gender and sexual diversity and equips participants with practical strategies to promote respectful and inclusive workplaces. First Peoples Group Indigenous Cultural Awareness Training for Leaders In 2025, the City partnered with First Peoples Group to deliver an Indigenous Cultural Awareness training tailored for managers and supervisors, with 43 leaders in attendance. First Peoples Group is a 100 percent Indigenous-owned and operated firm with a team of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit facilitators who bring deep community knowledge and lived experience to their training. Their approach centres storytelling, traditional teachings, and practical reflection to support meaningful learning and reconciliation in the workplace. The session was facilitated by a three-person team of senior Indigenous presenters who grounded the day in an invocation and traditional teaching, and guided participants through contemporary and historical context, respectful and inclusive practices, and tangible actions leaders can take to advance reconciliation in their teams. Participants received a digital manual with background research and additional resources to continue their learning beyond the session. Key focus areas included understanding Indigenous histories, cultures and current realities as they relate to municipal service delivery; reflecting on reconciliation and how leadership decisions shape respectful and inclusive practices; and applying learning through dialogue and scenario-based discussion rooted in the presenters’ teachings and lived experience. This training supports the City’s ongoing commitment to respond to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action by strengthening our capacity to engage respectfully with Indigenous partners, staff, and community members. As part of this continued work, the City is exploring the possibility of undertaking a Reconciliation audit in 2026 to help guide future actions and assess progress. Hidden Disability Sunflower Program The City of Pickering has joined the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower (HDS) Program, becoming one of the first municipalities in Ontario to do so. This initiative equips staff with the knowledge to recognize and support individuals with non-visible disabilities, using the internationally recognized Sunflower symbol. Once 80% of staff have completed the training, Pickering will be officially designated a “Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Destination”, reinforcing its commitment to accessibility and inclusion. Currently, 353 employees have been trained. Workplace Inclusion for Staff On November 27th, Egale delivered its Workplace Inclusion for Gender and Sexual Diversity session to 72 staff members from across City departments. This foundational 90-minute training introduced participants to key concepts related to gender identity, sexual orientation, inclusive language, and the diverse identities captured within the 2SLGBTQI acronym. The session also explored how everyday workplace norms, structures, and interactions can unintentionally create barriers for 2SLGBTQI individuals. Participants left with practical strategies to foster safer and more affirming interactions with colleagues and community members. Workplace Inclusion for Leaders On November 18th, 48 people leaders and managers participated in Egale’s specialized Workplace Inclusion for Leaders session. This training built on foundational concepts by focusing on the unique role of leaders in setting expectations, modeling inclusive behaviour, and shaping policies and environments that support 2SLGBTQI inclusion. Through guided reflection, real world scenarios, and actionable tools, leaders explored how to apply cultural humility, challenge bias, and strengthen team cultures where all staff feel respected, valued, and supported. The session also emphasized the importance of building allyship skills, recognizing subtle forms of discrimination, and fostering psychologically safe spaces within teams. Together, these two sessions helped reinforce the City’s commitment to inclusive workplace culture and provided staff and leaders with the awareness and skills needed to support equity and belonging across the organization. - 69 - City of Pickering | CSWB Annual Report | 34 City of Pickering | CSWB Annual Report | 35 In 2025, the City continued implementing its Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy, building on work completed in 2024 and advancing efforts across its five priority areas. The City strengthened partnerships with regional municipalities, equity focused organizations and community advisory groups to amplify diverse voices, celebrate cultural traditions, advance anti-racism work and encourage shared learning. Key 2025 EDI Achievements Throughout 2025, the City supported, partnered in and organized a range of equity focused initiatives across Durham Region, reinforcing its commitment to collaboration and to uplifting equity deserving communities. Initiatives included the Big Drum Social for National Indigenous Peoples Day, Youth Pride Durham, the Durham Region Pride Parade, Emancipation Day, the International Day for People of African Descent Celebration and Movie Night, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation Community Gathering and the Black Joy Holiday Market. This non-exhaustive list reflects the City’s broader role in supporting equity driven and community led initiatives throughout the year. EDI Staff Training and Capacity Building The City strengthened staff learning through a series of EDI training sessions focused on cultural understanding, accessibility awareness and inclusive practices. Training opportunities included Unpacking Islamophobia with the Canadian Council of Muslim Women, an Indigenous Beading Workshop for Red Dress Day, Introduction to Deaf Culture, ASL and Accessibility, a learning session for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Introduction to Toronto Caribbean Carnival, Treaty Relations and Indigenous Ways of Knowing and a staff book club featuring Disfigured by Amanda Leduc. These sessions deepened understanding of diverse cultures, identities, histories and accessibility and supported staff in serving Pickering’s diverse community. Supporting Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Conclusion The progress highlighted throughout this report demonstrates the City’s continued commitment to advancing the seven priorities of the Community Safety & Well-Being Plan. With the collaboration of community partners, service providers, City departments, and residents, 2025 marked a year of significant expansion, innovation, and measurable impact across all areas of the plan. Each priority area saw meaningful action, from improving access to basic needs and strengthening mental health supports, to enhancing community spaces, promoting belonging, and creating opportunities for engagement. These achievements reflect the collective dedication of those who work every day to ensure that all residents feel safe, supported, connected, and valued. As our community continues to evolve, our work will evolve with it. The City remains committed to listening to community voices, adapting our initiatives to emerging needs, and investing in collaborative solutions that promote safety and well-being for everyone. This progress is only possible through the shared efforts of residents, partners, and frontline organizations whose commitment drives the success of the plan. Together, we will continue moving toward a future where every resident can thrive, where support is accessible, and where a strong sense of connection and belonging is felt throughout Pickering. - 70 - letstalkpickering.ca/CSWB Elaine Knox eknox@pickering.ca Contact us: - 71 - Report to Council Report Number: CAO 06-26 Date: May 25, 2026 From: Marisa Carpino Chief Administrative Officer Subject: Municipal Infrastructure & Servicing Agreement between the City of Pickering and Ontario Power Generation File: A-1440 Recommendation: 1. That Report CAO 06-26 regarding the Municipal Infrastructure & Servicing Agreement between the City of Pickering and the Ontario Power Generation be received; 2. That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the Municipal Infrastructure & Servicing Agreement with Ontario Power Generation, set out in Attachment 1, subject to revisions that may be required by the Chief Administrative Officer and the Director, Corporate Services & City Solicitor; and, 3. That the appropriate City of Pickering officials be authorized to take the actions necessary to implement the recommendations in this report. 1.0 Executive Summary: Ontario Power Generation (OPG) has been a significant presence in the City of Pickering for more than five decades through the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station (PNGS). Operating since 1971, PNGS uses CANDU reactors to produce nearly emissions‑free power that supplies approximately 14 per cent of Ontario’s electricity demand. On November 26, 2025, the Ontario government approved OPG’s plan to refurbish four CANDU nuclear reactors (units 5-8) at the PNGS which will extend the facility’s operations to deliver affordable, reliable and clean power for up to 38 years. As OPG continues to operate and plan for future activities at its Pickering site, a comprehensive Municipal Infrastructure & Servicing Agreement (MISA) has been negotiated between OPG and the City to formalize responsibilities, contributions, and coordination. The - 72 - CAO 06-26 May 25, 2026 Page 2 Agreement reflects the outcomes of negotiations between City staff and OPG representatives and provides a framework for the following financial commitments and arrangements: a) Financial Contribution Toward Fire Hall #5: OPG has confirmed a financial contribution of up to $10 million to the City of Pickering toward the City’s design and construction of Fire Hall #5, to be located at the southeast corner of Bayly St. and Sandy Beach Rd. b) Financial Contribution Toward the Acquisition of 591 Liverpool Road: OPG has confirmed a financial contribution of up to $10 million to the City of Pickering toward the City’s acquisition of the property municipally known as 591 Liverpool Road. c) Sandy Beach Road Rehabilitation and Montgomery Park Road Reconstruction Projects: OPG has entered into a Road Servicing Agreement with the City of Pickering such that OPG is performing rehabilitation work on Sandy Beach Road and the reconstruction of Montgomery Park Road, at a cost of approximately $16 million to support the PNGS B Refurbishment Project, Pickering Residents and community. d) PNGS Property Tax Payments During the Refurbishment Period: This agreement includes clauses whereby OPG will keep the City whole from a property tax payment perspective during the refurbishment period from 2027 up to and including 2031 with an annual indexing clause based on the annual Pickering budget levy increase. Staff are proposing that the agreement end in 2031, as this is the year that the first unit (Unit 5) and deep-water intake system at the facility are expected to be completed. By adopting this strategy, the City has balanced the benefit of keeping property tax payments (revenues) stable during the refurbishment period from 2027 up to and including 2031. For 2032 and beyond, if a further agreement is not reached, the property tax liability will be based on the current established business practice of MPAC’s current value assessment multiplied by the applicable property tax rate. e) Pickering Community Fund: OPG will continue to support not-for-profit and community organizations with donations, sponsorships, awards and scholarships through its community investment program, the Power for Change Project, throughout the term of this Agreement. f) Community Engagement & Communications during the PNGS B Refurbishment Project: OPG will provide, in a timely and transparent manner, accurate information to stakeholders and the public, including the local business community, in the vicinity of OPG’s PNGS facility, regarding PNGS events, activities, operations and projects, including the PNGS B Refurbishment Project. The proposed Agreement establishes a clear framework to address municipal infrastructure, servicing, and related financial contributions arising from OPG’s ongoing operations and future plans in Pickering. Approval of the MISA will provide certainty to both parties, protect the City’s financial and operational interests, and support a collaborative long-term relationship with one of Pickering’s largest employers and strategic partners. - 73 - CAO 06-26 May 25, 2026 Page 3 2.0 Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report respond to the Pickering Strategic Plan Priority of [pick one or more of the following: Champion Economic Leadership & Innovation; Advocate for an Inclusive, Welcoming, Safe & Healthy Community; Advance Innovation & Responsible Planning to Support a Connected, Well-Serviced Community; Lead & Advocate for Environmental Stewardship, Innovation & Resiliency; Strengthen Existing & Build New Partnerships; Foster an Engaged & Informed Community. 3.0 Financial Implications: A key component of the MISA is the establishment of financial contributions by OPG toward municipal infrastructure and services that support OPG’s ongoing operations in the City of Pickering. a) Fire Hall #5: OPG confirmed a financial contribution equal to 68% of the expenses for the design and construction of Fire Hall #5, up to a maximum of $10 million. Contributions may be made in instalments or aligned with defined project milestones, consistent with the City’s capital planning and approval processes. Payments will start January 2027. Please note: the City’s estimated cost for the design and construction of Fire Hall #5 is $15 million. b) 591 Liverpool Road: OPG confirmed a financial contribution of up to $10 million that will be advanced in accordance with the conditions set out in a separate Agreement of Purchase and Sale and the associated Licence Agreement. This financial contribution will be conditional upon the completion of the City’s purchase of 591 Liverpool Road from the Pickering Harbour Company (PHC) and its transfer to OPG. Thereafter, a Licence agreement between the City and OPG that would permit the use of 591 Liverpool Road for public City purposes (boat storage and public parking) at a nominal cost. c) Sandy Beach Road Rehabilitation and Montgomery Park Road Reconstruction Projects: As per the Road Servicing Agreement entered into with the City of Pickering, OPG committed to rehabilitate Sandy Beach Road and reconstruct Montgomery Park Road to support the PNGS B Refurbishment Project, Pickering residents and the community – resulting in a financial contribution of approximately $16 million. OPG agreed to undertake and fund the design, approvals and reconstruction of Montgomery Park Road in order to assure a completion date by the end of 2026. This work, performed by OPG at their cost of approximately $8.17 million, removes the Montgomery Park Road reconstruction project entirely from the City’s forecasted capital program. In order to improve Sandy Beach Road to a standard suitable to support the increased traffic by the end of 2026, the City agreed to allow OPG undertake and fund the design, approvals and construction to provide a rehabilitated Sandy Beach Road as a rural - 74 - CAO 06-26 May 25, 2026 Page 4 cross section with sidewalk provisions for pedestrian safety. This work, performed by OPG at their cost of approximately $7.85 million, defers the City’s Sandy Beach Road reconstruction and urbanization project estimated at $12 million by about 10 years (to 2035), which will increase the City’s future costs to $20.45 million (2035$) due to indexing. This results in approximately $8.45 million in additional City costs. In summary, OPG’s financial contribution advances the rehabilitation of Sandy Beach Road and the reconstruction of Montgomery Park Road in 2026 for the benefit of PNGS, Pickering residents and businesses, and the community. However, the City’s Sandy Beach Road reconstruction and urbanization project will be delayed for 10 years, resulting in an increased project cost due to indexing. As a result, this arrangement is relatively cost neutral with a net cost to the City of approximately $280,000. d) PNGS Municipal Tax Assessment: The MISA agreement includes a section whereby the City will receive its annual property tax payments from 2027 up to and including 2031 with an indexing factor based on the City’s annual levy increase. The base year for the agreement is the 2026 property tax payment for this site, which are the City Share of $1,052,754 and the Educational Share of $1,658,436 for a total of $2,711,190. If the City’s 2027 budget levy increase is 2.5%, the City would receive a total payment of $2,778,970. OPG and the City will conduct a thorough inventory of the site from an assessment perspective to ensure that every building and structure is reflected in the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation’s (MPAC) records. Under this agreement, there is no potential loss of property taxation revenues during the first five years of the construction period. e) Pickering Community Fund: OPG confirmed its financial commitment to continue to offer the community investment program, through the Power for Change Project, throughout the term of this agreement. Ontario Power Generation's (OPG) Power for Change Project offers different grant, awards, and scholarship programs to give back to the communities who do so much. This is a continuation of an existing community investment program and does not represent a new/additional financial contribution by OPG. f) Community Engagement & Consultation: In recognition that the PNGS B Refurbishment Project will result in increased on-site activities at PNGS and traffic to and from the facility for the duration of the project, OPG confirmed its commitment to provide, in a timely and transparent manner, accurate information to stakeholders and the public, including the local business community, in the vicinity of OPG’s PNGS facility, regarding PNGS events, activities, operations and projects, including the PNGS B Refurbishment Project. These contributions represent a significant financial commitment by OPG and support the City’s broader objectives related to strategic infrastructure planning. Approval of the MISA will result in direct and indirect financial benefits to the City of Pickering through confirmed and anticipated contributions by OPG. Overall, the Agreement strengthens the City’s financial position by ensuring that major infrastructure costs associated with OPG - 75 - CAO 06-26 May 25, 2026 Page 5 are addressed through a negotiated and transparent framework, thereby reducing potential financial impacts on City taxpayers. 4.0 Discussion: 4.1 Ontario Power Generation Pickering is home to one of the largest nuclear generating facilities in the world, the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station (PNGS), operated by OPG. PNGS has been operating in Pickering for over 50 years and consists of eight nuclear units, with four currently in service. The station supplies approximately 14 per cent of Ontario’s electricity demand and produces nearly emissions‑free power. OPG’s Pickering operations support approximately 4,500 employees and play a critical role in the Regional and Provincial economy. As Ontario’s other nuclear stations undergo refurbishment, OPG has sought regulatory approval to continue operating certain Pickering units through to 2026, with longer‑term planning underway for potential refurbishment of Units 5 to 8, subject to regulatory approvals. In November 2025, OPG publicly announced its intent to pursue the potential refurbishment of the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station’s Units 5 to 8, subject to regulatory approvals. This planning follows OPG’s request to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) to continue operating certain Pickering units through to 2026, while longer‑term decisions regarding refurbishment are considered. OPG has indicated that refurbishment of the Pickering station would enable the facility to continue producing safe, reliable, and nearly emissions‑free electricity for Ontario for several additional decades. In fact, the project will secure 2,100 megawatts of low-carbon, reliable electricity for another 30-plus years to help meet Ontario’s forecasted increase in energy demand and support its economic growth. The potential refurbishment of the Pickering station represents a significant long‑term investment in the community and region. The project is expected to create approximately 30,000 jobs during refurbishment phase of Pickering Units 5–8 (beginning in early 2027 and extending into the mid‑2030s), while sustaining 6,700 jobs throughout the station’s operation. OPG’s refurbishment will support the continuation of highly skilled employment, maintain Pickering’s role as a critical contributor to Ontario’s electricity system, and generate substantial economic activity across Durham Region and the province. These include a combination of on‑site trades, engineers, project management, and supply‑chain employment across Ontario, with peak workforce levels occurring during major construction and component replacement activities. With a final budget of $26.8 billion, more than 90 per cent of the project cost will be spent in Canada to support local businesses and deliver economic benefits across the Province. - 76 - CAO 06-26 May 25, 2026 Page 6 4.2 Municipal Infrastructure & Servicing Agreement (MISA): Given the scale and duration of OPG’s presence, there is a clear need for a MISA to address municipal support and financial arrangements between OPG and the City. The MISA also recognizes the social licence with the City of Pickering as a supportive host community of the PNGS. The MISA has been developed following a series of meetings and negotiations between City staff and representatives of OPG over the past year. The Agreement is intended to provide a comprehensive framework that governs: a) Municipal infrastructure and servicing considerations related to OPG’s operations and lands within the City; b) Financial contributions by OPG toward municipal infrastructure and facilities impacted by or associated with its operations; and, c) Processes for ongoing communication and collaboration between OPG and the City & Stakeholders. The Agreement reflects the outcomes of discussions held between City staff and OPG representatives through late 2025 and early 2026, with the shared objective of bringing a finalized agreement forward for Council consideration within the second quarter of 2026. 4.3 Financial Contributions in the MISA The Agreement reflects the outcomes of negotiations between City staff and OPG representatives and provides a framework for the following financial commitments and arrangements: a) Financial Contribution Toward Fire Hall #5: OPG has confirmed a financial contribution of up to $10 million to the City toward the City’s design and construction of Fire Hall #5, located at the southeast corner of Sandy Beach Road and Bayly Street. b) Financial Contribution Toward the Acquisition of 591 Liverpool Road: OPG has confirmed a financial contribution of up to $10 million to the City toward the City’s acquisition of the property municipally known as 591 Liverpool Road. This financial contribution will be conditional upon the completion of the City’s purchase of 591 Liverpool Road from the Pickering Harbour Company (PHC) and its transfer to OPG. Thereafter, a Licence agreement between the City and OPG that would permit the use of 591 Liverpool Road for public City purposes. This contribution is conditional upon: i. the City’s acquisition of the total PHC land holdings which includes 591 Liverpool Road; - 77 - CAO 06-26 May 25, 2026 Page 7 ii. the transfer of 591 Liverpool Road from the City to OPG through a separate Agreement of Purchase and Sale (APS) subject to a Licence Agreement enabling Pickering’s ongoing use and occupation of 591 Liverpool Road, at nominal cost. c) Sandy Beach Road Rehabilitation and Montgomery Park Road Reconstruction Projects: OPG has entered into a Road Servicing Agreement with the City of Pickering such that OPG is performing rehabilitation work on Sandy Beach Road and the reconstruction of Montgomery Park Road to support the PNGS B Refurbishment Project, Pickering residents and local businesses, and the community. d) PNGS Property Tax Payments During the Refurbishment Period: The MISA agreement sub-section 3.4 relates to the property tax agreement. The goal of staff as it relates to property tax payments was to keep the property tax payments whole during the period of time the facility is not operating during the refurbishment. Absent an agreement, there is a risk that MPAC applies a much lower assessment value during the refurbishment construction phase, which would significantly reduce the property tax payments. In other words, an argument could be made that during refurbishment, the facility could be valued as vacant land or subject to a high obsolescence factor due to the fact the facility is not producing and or generating any power and therefore, no revenues. Under the agreement, if MPAC lowers the assessment value for the facility, that results in lower property taxes (for the City & Region), OPG would then make up the difference (by making an additional top-up payment) so that there is no loss in property tax revenues. In addition, there would be an indexing of the base amount every year based on Pickering’s annual budget levy increase. The first step in establishing the base amount for the agreement is to use the 2026 returned roll assessment values for the facility. In addition, the City and MPAC have committed to undertake an assessment audit of the entire facility (late spring or early summer of this year) so that the 2026 assessment records are accurate and reflect the true property tax liability for this property. It should be noted that while this agreement protects the City from any property tax losses and includes an indexing factor, it also includes a clause that if MPAC returns a higher assessment for the facility during the duration of the agreement, that results in higher property tax payments then permitted under the agreement, the City would refund the difference (Sub-section 3.4 (d)). As the portions of the facility’s refurbishment are completed and occupied, it is more likely that MPAC will assess these portions of the facility. This timing permits the stabilization of property tax payments while the facility is likely not operational and also allows the City to capture value of the newly refurbished portions of the facility as they are completed in 2032 and onward. e) Pickering Community Fund: OPG will continue to support not-for-profit and community organizations through donations, sponsorships, awards and scholarships its community investment program, the Power for Change Project, throughout the term of this Agreement. - 78 - CAO 06-26 May 25, 2026 Page 8 f) Community Engagement & Communications during the PNGS B Refurbishment Project: OPG will provide, in a timely and transparent manner, accurate information to stakeholders and the public, including the local business community, in the vicinity of OPG’s PNGS facility, regarding PNGS events, activities, operations and projects, including the PNGS B Refurbishment Project. This includes regular outreach on OPG project updates and the following: i. direct, ongoing communication between OPG and City staff to maintain ongoing, proactive, and responsive two-way communications; ii. OPG’s Public Information Centre will be staffed daily (Monday to Friday, excluding holidays) by staff who can respond to questions from the public, local residents and businesses, regarding OPG’s operations, projects and the PNGS B Refurbishment Project; iii. public Telephone Line (905-832-7272) and web-based contact at opg.com; and, iv. 24/7 on-call staff for media and public inquires. It is important to note that OPG's financial contributions to the City for Fire Hall #5, the Sandy Beach Road and Montgomery Park Road Projects, PNGS Municipal Tax Assessment, as set out in the MISA, remain intact and unchanged should the City be unsuccessful in purchasing the PHC land holdings. The financial contribution related to 591 Liverpool Road represents the Provincial contribution toward the City’s purchase of the larger Frenchman’s Bay landholding. This serves the City’s interests by reducing the cost of acquiring the Bay. It also serves the interests of OPG because 591 Liverpool Road lies within the nuclear exclusion zone surrounding PNGS. By taking title to 591 Liverpool Road, OPG ends the possibility of any private sector uses on 591 Liverpool Road that would be inconsistent with the ongoing refurbishment and operation of PNGS. 4.4 Benefits of the MISA The proposed MISA provides several key benefits to the City: a) Financial Protection: By formalizing OPG’s financial contributions toward municipal infrastructure, the Agreement helps ensure that City taxpayers are not disproportionately impacted by costs associated with OPG’s operations. b) Strategic Alignment: The Agreement supports the City’s broader objectives related to growth management, infrastructure planning, and long‑term financial sustainability. c) Strengthened Partnership: Establishing a formal, Council‑approved agreement reinforces the collaborative relationship between the City and OPG as a major employer and stakeholder in Pickering. 4.5 Conclusion OPG has been, and will continue to be, a significant presence in the City of Pickering. The proposed MISA provides a necessary and appropriate framework to manage the municipal - 79 - CAO 06-26 May 25, 2026 Page 9 impacts of OPG’s operations while supporting a collaborative, transparent, and financially responsible relationship.

ARTICLE 2-TERM AND TERMINATION 2.1 Effective Date (a) The effective date of this Agreement (the “Effective Date”) shall be the last of the following dates: (1) the date upon which OPG executes this Agreement; and (2) the date upon which Pickering executes this Agreement. (b) Each Party shall notify the other Party and deliver to it a copy of this Agreement duly executed by the notifying Party when that Party has executed this Agreement. 2.2 Term and Termination (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will expire at midnight on December 31, 2036, unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Agreement. (b) If a Party is in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement, the other Party may terminate this Agreement upon giving the breaching Party at least thirty (30) days prior written notice including - 85 - the reasons for termination, unless the breaching Party cures such breach prior to the effective date of termination ARTICLE 3- OPG’S CONTRIBUTIONS 3.1 Contribution to New Fire Hall The total amount contributed by OPG to the City of Pickering under this Section 3.1 shall be considered full and final payment by OPG for, and shall be applied by Pickering to, the necessary relocation and reconstruction of the aged Pickering Fire Hall #5 (built in 1969, concurrent with PNGS construction), located at the area of Bayly St./Brock Rd./Sandy Beach Rd., which remains the closest and primary responding fire hall for the geographical area south of Highway 401 to Lake Ontario and encompassing the Pickering Nuclear station (undergoing refurbishment), facilities and adjacent land. As a longstanding partner with Pickering Fire Services, OPG believes the reconstructed fire hall will further enhance local fire response and community safety in South Pickering, including for the refurbished PNGS. By promoting greater fire safety and responsiveness through this payment, OPG continues to demonstrate its commitment to the ongoing safety of OPG’s operations, employees and community. (a) OPG shall pay Pickering an amount (the “Fire Hall Contribution”) equal to 68% of the out-of- pocket costs expended by Pickering for the design and construction of a new fire hall on lands owned by Pickering in the general vicinity of the Sandy Beach Road and Bayly Road intersection to serve the City of Pickering (the “New Fire Hall”), up to a maximum total aggregate Fire Hall Contribution of $10,000,000. For greater certainty, the parties confirm that the Fire Hall Contribution excludes any costs incurred to acquire the lands on which the New Fire Hall is to be located or to extend municipal services to such lands. (b) OPG acknowledges that Pickering has provided documentation demonstrating the community’s need for a New Fire Hall 5, and OPG is of the opinion that the New Fire Hall will constitute a meaningful contribution towards OPG meeting the baseline fire and safety requirements set out in OPG’s construction and operating licences issued, or to be issued, by the CNSC to OPG with respect to PNGS B Refurb. Pickering shall provide OPG with copies of receipts for out-of-pocket costs paid by Pickering for the New Fire Hall including sufficient details to confirm that such costs were incurred solely in respect of the design or construction of the New Fire Hall. (c) OPG shall pay Pickering the Fire Hall Contribution set out herein by monthly instalments starting January, 2027, subject to Section 3.1(a). Each monthly instalment shall reimburse Pickering for 68% of the amount shown on copies of receipts provided by Pickering to OPG no later than the 15th day of the previous month for out-of-pocket costs incurred by Pickering for the New Fire Hall, provided that no such payment shall be due and payable until January 1, 2027 at the earliest. (d) No amount shall be payable by OPG to Pickering under this Section 3.1 in compensation for out-of-pocket costs paid by Pickering after the earlier of PNGS B Will Not Proceed and the termination or expiry of this Agreement. - 86 - 3.2 591 Liverpool Road (a) Within a reasonable time after the Effective Date, OPG and Pickering will negotiate in good faith a written agreement of purchase of sale, on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Parties, acting reasonably, whereby Pickering will agree to sell to OPG, and OPG will agree to buy from Pickering (the “Harbour Company Land Purchase”), a freehold interest in the land municipally known as 591 Liverpool Road, Pickering (the “Harbour Company Land”)for a purchase price of up to $10,000,000 plus H.S.T. if applicable. This Agreement is not conditional upon the entry into or completion of the Harbour Company Land Purchase. (b) The Harbour Company Land Purchase will include the grant of a licence to Pickering to use and occupy the Harbour Company Land on terms acceptable to OPG and Pickering (the “License”). (c) A Party’s failure to execute or to close the Harbour Company Land Purchase (which, for certainty, would include failure to grant the License which forms part of the Harbour Company Land Purchase) for any reason whatsoever shall not be considered a breach or default of that Party’s obligations under this Agreement. 3.3 Sandy Beach Road & Montgomery Park Road Resurfacings Pickering acknowledges that OPG has entered into a Road Servicing Agreement with the City of Pickering such that OPG is performing rehabilitation work on Sandy Beach Road and reconstruction of Montgomery Park Road to support the PNGS B Refurb, Pickering, the Pickering Residents and community, at an approximate cost to OPG of approximately $16,000,000. 3.4 PNGS Municipal Tax Assessment (a) The parties acknowledge and agree that: (1) payments-in-lieu-of-realty-taxes (“PILs”) made by OPG to Pickering are made in accordance with valuations determined by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (“MPAC”) pursuant to the statutory scheme (“Scheme”) set out in the Assessment Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. A. 31 as amended (the “Act”). MPAC may alter its valuations under the Scheme as a result of the PNGS B Refurb; (2) notwithstanding Subsection 3.4(a)(1) above, Pickering has an interest in stabilizing the amount of revenue it receives from the PILS during the first five years of the PNGS B Refurb Period to avoid reduction in the City’s budgeted revenues with respect to the PNGS B Refurb Period as a result of any PILS re- assessment by MPAC in accordance with the Scheme; and (3) OPG has an interest in stabilizing the amount of PILS it must pay during the first five years of the PNGS B Refurb Period to avoid any increase to the amount OPG has budgeted for payment thereof as a result of a PILS re-assessment by MPAC in accordance with the Scheme. (b) The amount of PILs payable by OPG in respect of the 2026 to 2031 taxation years will be subject to adjustment, on an annual basis in accordance with the Municipal Tax Levy including the - 87 - Education Levy under O. Reg. 400/98. (c) If the amount of PILs payable by OPG in respect of the 2026 o 2031 taxation years is reduced by MPAC as a result of an MPAC re-assessment thereof, compared to the amount of PILs that would have been payable by OPG in respect of the 2026 to 2031 taxation years at the rate determined by MPAC that was in effect as of the Effective Date (as adjusted accordance with subsection 3.4(b) above), OPG shall pay Pickering the difference between such amounts. OPG shall make such payment by instalments due in each case within 90 days after payment of PILs is due and payable by OPG at the MPAC-assessed rate with respect to the 2026 to 2031 taxation years, and the amount of each instalment shall reflect the difference between such MPAC-assessed rates for the subject period of time during the 2026 to 2031 taxation years. (d) If the amount of PILs payable by OPG in respect of the 2026 to 2031 taxation years is increased by MPAC as a result of an MPAC re-assessment thereof, compared to the amount of PILS that would have been payable by OPG in respect of the 2026 to 2031 taxation years at the rate determined by MPAC that was in effect as of the Effective Date (as adjusted in accordance with subsection 3.4(b) above), Pickering shall pay OPG the difference between such amounts. Pickering shall make such payment by instalments due in each case within 90 days after payment of PILS is due and payable by OPG at the MPAC-assessed rate with respect to the 2026 to 2031 taxation years, and the amount of each instalment shall reflect the difference between such MPAC-assessed rates for the subject period of time during the 2026 to 2031 taxation years. (e) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to affect any of the statutory rights of MPAC, OPG or Pickering pursuant to the Act.

(Attachment 1) and to seek Council endorsement of the Recommendation Report. The Pickering Federal Lands comprise approximately 3,700 hectares (9,300 acres) of federally owned land in northwest Pickering and represent one of the most significant long-term planning opportunities in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Originally expropriated in 1972 for a proposed airport, the lands have remained under federal ownership for more than five decades and are currently leased for agricultural, residential, and limited commercial purposes. - 95 - ECD 03-26 May 25, 2026 Page 2 In January 2025, the Government of Canada announced that the lands were no longer needed for an airport development and expressed its intention to transfer areas with high conservation value to Parks Canada to expand the Rouge National Urban Park. Additionally, the government announced a formal consultation process, including existing tenants, Indigenous communities, and the public, would be initiated to guide decisions on the future uses of these lands. This decision marked a critical inflection point, creating a unique opportunity for the city to shape the long-term vision for this significant landholding. To support its participation in the federal process, Council endorsed the retaining of SGL Planning & Design Inc., supported by Parcel Economics and Dillon Consulting Limited, to undertake a comprehensive Land Use Review & Economic Analysis (Resolution #927/26). The study included a detailed policy and technical analysis, economic modelling, infrastructure review, and extensive stakeholder and public engagement. The Recommendation Report evaluates three land use options, and establishes a preferred, balanced framework that aligns with federal key themes, including Rouge National Urban Park expansion, environmental protection, agricultural preservation, and economic development. The recommended approach supports the protection of natural heritage systems, the creation of a viable long-term agricultural system within the Rouge National Urban Park, and the strategic development of an employment corridor along Highway 7. Council endorsement of the Recommendation Report will formalize the City’s position and ensure that Pickering plays a proactive leadership role in shaping the future of the lands through the federal decision-making process. 2.0 Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report respond to the Pickering Strategic Plan Priority of Champion Economic Leadership & Innovation. 3.0 Financial Implications: There are no additional financial impacts associated with this report. 4.0 Discussion: The purpose of this report is to present the Land Use Review & Economic Analysis of the Pickering Federal Lands Recommendation Report prepared by SGL Planning & Design Inc., and seek Council endorsement of the attached Recommendation Report. - 96 - ECD 03-26 May 25, 2026 Page 3 4.1 Background The Pickering Federal Lands have a long planning history that has shaped land use, infrastructure investments, and regional growth strategies across eastern Greater Toronto Area. In 1972, approximately 7,500 hectares of land in Pickering and surrounding municipalities were expropriated by the federal government for the development of an additional airport for the GTA. Although initial studies and preparatory work were undertaken, the airport project was halted in 1975, and the lands have since remained under federal ownership. Over time, substantial portions of the originally expropriated lands were transferred to Parks Canada to support creation and expansion of Rouge National Urban Park (RNUP), including major transfers in 2015 and 2017. Today approximately 3,700 hectares remain under federal control, and continue to be leased primarily for agricultural use, with smaller areas supporting hamlets such as Brougham and minor parts Claremont, as well as existing recreational and community uses. The remaining federal lands are located within a sensitive and strategic geographic context. They are adjacent to the Rouge National Urban Park, include portions of the Greenbelt Plan and Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan, and span important watershed systems such as Duffins Creek. At the same time, the lands are situated immediately north of Highway 407 and the emerging Pickering Innovation Corridor, one of the City’s key employment growth areas. In January 2025, the Federal Government announced that the Pickering Federal Lands would no longer be used for an airport and initiated a formal consultation process to determine their future use, alongside an expansion of Rouge National Urban Park. This process involved engagement with Indigenous communities, stakeholders, all levels of government, and the public, and was guided by key themes including environmental protection, parkland expansion, agriculture, economic development, and transportation. The City of Pickering staff and Members of Council participated in the federal consultation process, including stakeholder sessions held between March and April 2026. Recognizing the scale, complexity, and long-term implications of this decision, the City of Pickering initiated a comprehensive Land Use Review and Economic Analysis to establish an evidence-based position, that reflects local priorities while aligning with federal objectives. The City secured an extension to provide a formal submission by the end of May 2026. 4.2 Study Overview and Process The City retained SGL Planning & Design Inc., supported by Parcel Economics and Dillon Consulting Limited, to undertake the Land Use Review and Economic Analysis, in accordance with Council direction (Resolution #927/26). The study was designed as a comprehensive, multidisciplinary exercise that integrates planning policy, economics, infrastructure, and environmental considerations. The work included a detailed review of the applicable policy framework at the provincial, regional, and municipal levels, as well as an analysis of land use opportunities and constraints. It also incorporated a robust economic and market assessment, - 97 - ECD 03-26 May 25, 2026 Page 4 including demographic trends, employment land demand forecasts, and long-term growth projections for Pickering and Durham Region. In addition, the study examined high-level infrastructure and servicing capacity, including water, wastewater, transportation networks, and transit, as well as the implications of future investments such as Highway 7 widening and potential high-speed rail. Environmental and agricultural analyses were also undertaken, including mapping natural heritage systems, evaluating ecological constraints, and assessing the long-term viability of agricultural uses. A comprehensive engagement program was implemented, including meetings with Council, City and Regional staff, local Mayors, key agencies and organizations, and the public. Feedback gathered through this process played a central role in shaping the land use options and final recommendations. 4.3 Land Use Options and Public Engagement Based on the background analysis and federal consultation key themes, the study developed three distinct land use options that explore varying ratios between environmental conservation, agricultural preservation, and economic development. Three options were developed with combinations of employment lands, agricultural systems, and Rouge National Urban Park expansion. These options evaluated trade-offs related to economic growth, environmental protection, infrastructure requirements, and long-term sustainability. A fourth option, proposing full conversion of the lands to parkland as a RNUP expansion, was requested by some members of the public. Public and stakeholder engagement was extensive and included a well-attended public open house held on April 22, 2026, with more than 130 participants, as well as engagement through Let’s Talk Pickering. Feedback highlighted strong support for environmental protection and park expansion, while also recognizing the importance of preserving agricultural lands and leveraging strategic locations for economic development. Public and stakeholder engagement demonstrated a desire for a balanced approach that protects natural and agricultural assets while enabling appropriate employment uses, particularly along major transportation corridors such as Highway 7 and Highway 407. 4.4 Summary of Recommendation Report The Recommendation Report synthesizes technical analysis and community input to identify a preferred approach that balances competing priorities and aligns with federal key themes. The recommended framework recognizes the lands as a once-in-a-generation opportunity to integrate environmental stewardship, agricultural sustainability, and economic growth. - 98 - ECD 03-26 May 25, 2026 Page 5 The approach prioritizes the identification and protection of all significant natural heritage features. It also supports the establishment of a strong and viable agricultural system, with an emphasis on long-term land tenure arrangements that enables farmers to invest in operations. From an economic perspective, the Recommendation Report identifies a strategic opportunity to develop an employment corridor along Highway 7 as an extension of the Innovation Corridor. This approach leverages existing infrastructure investments and market demand for employment lands, supporting long-term job creation and economic diversification. The fiscal analysis indicates that development-based scenarios can generate significant economic benefits, including significant investment, substantial job creation, and ongoing municipal revenues, while maintaining a positive net operating impact for the City. The recommendations also address community and recreational needs, including opportunities for park expansion in Green River and Claremont, continued use of existing recreational facilities, and revitalization of the Hamlet of Brougham through long-term land tenure solutions. 4.5 Strategic Importance The Pickering Federal Lands represent one of the most significant land use planning opportunities in Ontario. Decisions made through the federal process will have lasting implications for economic development, environmental protection, agricultural sustainability, and infrastructure planning across the region. Staff recommend adopting the City of Pickering Federal Lands - Land Use Review & Economic Analysis Recommendation Report to ensure that Pickering’s interests are clearly articulated as part of the federal decision-making process. The Recommendation Report equips the City with a forward‑looking, evidence‑based framework that clarifies land use options, protects environmental and agricultural assets, and identifies economic opportunities, ensuring Pickering is positioned to advocate effectively and plan proactively. If endorsed by Council, staff will submit the Recommendation Report to Transport Canada for consideration and to Region of Durham for information. Attachment: 1.

In 2015 and 2017, approximately 4,000 hectares of the expropriated land was transferred to Parks Canada to further expand the adjacent Rouge National Urban Park. The Federal Government currently retains about 3,700 hectares of land which was intended for an airport and is currently leased for agricultural, residential and commercial uses. In January 2025, the Federal Government announced that the expropriated lands in Pickering (the Pickering Federal Lands) will no longer be used for a future airport. To determine the future use of these lands, the Federal Government is seeking input from key stakeholders, the public and First Nations Community. Federal Key Themes for discussion through its consultations include: • Expansion of the Rouge National Urban Park; • Other Conservation and Environmental Protection; • Other Public Parks and Recreational Spaces; • Agricultural Use; • Residential development; • Commercial development; • Industrial Development; and • Transportation. To provide input to the Federal Government on the Key Themes, the City of Pickering initiated a comprehensive Land Use Review and Economic Analysis to determine Pickering’s vision for the future use of the Pickering Federal Lands. SGL Planning & Design Inc. and its consulting team consisting of Parcel Economics and Dillion Consulting Limited were retained by the City of Pickering to undertake a comprehensive land use review and economic analysis for the future use of the Pickering Federal Lands. This Recommendation Report presents the findings of that work. To respond to the Federal Key Themes, three land use options were prepared. These three land use options explored different balances between the Federal Key Themes. Extensive and comprehensive engagement was conducted on the land use options. Several focus groups were conducted including Members of Council, City and Regional staff, Durham Agricultural Advisory Committee (DAAC), Lakeridge Health, Landowners - 105 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering v Group, Mayors from surrounding municipalities, the local MP as well as members of the public at the Public Open House. The Staff Recommended Land Use Plan balances the Federal Key Themes to develop a long-term plan for the Pickering Federal Lands. Recommendations include: • identify, stake and transfer all significant natural heritage features to the Rouge Natural Urban Park; • create a vibrant agricultural system where farmers are incentivized to invest in farm improvements. These lands could be included in an expanded Rouge National Urban Park provided the Federal Government provides long-term leases and incentives for farmers to invest in the lands; • develop an economic corridor along Highway 7; • transfer 20 hectares near Green River to the City of Pickering for an expansion to the District Park; • transfer 10 hectares in the Hamlet of Claremont to the City of Pickering for park purposes; • transfer Don Beer Memorial Park in the Hamlet of Brougham to the City of Pickering; • other existing recreational uses given the opportunity to acquire long-term leases; • conserve and actively reuse existing cultural heritage buildings; • further investigate the presence of significant archaeological sites; • Transport Canada to work with the Provincial Government to revoke O.Reg 102/72; • revitalize the Hamlet of Brougham with lessees in the Hamlet provided the opportunity to either purchase their leased properties or enter into long-term leases; • Transport Canada to upgrade and improve existing roads and construct Sideline 20, 22 and 26 realignments and accommodate widening of Highway 7; and • Transport Canda to work with Durham Region to coordinate water and wastewater servicing capacity and requirements for the economic corridor. - 106 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 1 1 Introduction In 1972, approximately 7,500 hectares of land was expropriated by the Federal Government for the development of a future airport. In 2015 and 2017, approximately 4,000 hectares of the expropriated land was transferred to Parks Canada to further expand the adjacent Rouge National Urban Park. The Federal Government currently retains about 3,700 hectares of land (outlined by the red line on Figure 1) which was intended for an airport and is currently leased for agricultural, residential and commercial uses. In January 2025, the Federal Government announced that the expropriated lands in Pickering (the “Pickering Federal Lands”) will no longer be used for a future airport. To determine the future use of these lands, the Federal Government is seeking input from all levels of government, the local community and the public. A decision by the Government of Canada on the future uses of the Pickering Federal Lands will be informed by First Nations consultations, engagement with key stakeholders, public consultations and an analysis of potential land use options and priorities. Transport Canada is working with several federal agencies such as Parks Canada, Public Services and Procurement Canda, Canada Lands Company, and Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada to explore future uses for the Pickering Federal Lands. Federal Key Themes for the discussion of potential future uses on the Pickering Federal Lands help identify federal projects or initiatives, in addition to a transfer of lands to Parks Canada for the expansion of Rouge National Urban Park. The lands could also be considered for agricultural uses, parks and recreation spaces and other conservation uses to ensure protection of the natural environment. The Canada Lands Company is assisting Transport Canada to reintegrate former Government of Canada properties into local communities while ensuring their long-term sustainability and commercial viability. Additionally, the Alto High-Speed Rail is undertaking a multi- phased public engagement process for development of a high-speed rail line. These lands are proposed by the City of Pickering for a future stop. Federal Key Themes for discussion through its consultations include: • Expansion of the Rouge National Urban Park; • Other Conservation and Environmental Protection; • Other Public Parks and Recreational Spaces; • Agricultural Use; • Residential development; • Commercial development; • Industrial Development; and • Transportation. - 107 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 2 To provide input to the Federal Government on the Key Themes, the City of Pickering is conducting a comprehensive Land Use Review and Economic Analysis to determine Pickering’s vision for the future use of the Pickering Federal Lands. SGL Planning & Design Inc. (SGL) and its consulting team consisting of Parcel Economics (Parcel) and Dillion Consulting Limited (Dillion) were retained by the City of Pickering to undertake a comprehensive land use review and economic analysis for the future use of the Pickering Federal Lands. As shown on Figure 1, about 40% of the Pickering Federal Lands are within the Provincial Greenbelt Plan Area/Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan Area. The Pickering Federal Lands border the Rouge National Urban Park to the north and west and the Pickering Innovation Corridor as well as a Pickering district park to the south along Highway 407. The Hamlet of Brougham and a small portion of the Hamlet of Claremont are located within the Pickering Federal Lands. Figure 1: Pickering Federal Lands Context Map - 108 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 3 The Pickering Federal Lands primarily contain agricultural fields, natural features and some rural residential uses. As well, commercial, residential, employment and community uses are located in the Hamlets of Brougham and Claremont. The Pickering Federal Lands also contain existing active recreational uses such as the Pickering Glen Golf Club at Seventh Concession Road and Sideline 32, the Oshawa Competition Motorcycle Club at Eighth Concession Road and Brock Road, as well as cemeteries along Highway 7 (Green River Baptist Cemetery), Sideline 20 (Sharrard Cemetery), and Eighth Concession Road (Mach-Pelah Cemetery). The CPKC Rail line also runs through the Pickering Federal Lands diagonally from York Durham Townline through Claremont as shown on Figure 1. 1.1 Purpose of this Report The purpose of this Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis (“Report”) is to inform Pickering Council’s strategic direction and advocacy efforts as part of the Federal Government’s consultation on the future use of the Pickering Federal Lands. This Report provides a background overview and site analysis of the Pickering Federal Lands and its surrounding area, describes three alternative land use options, and provides recommendations to the Federal government on the future use of the Pickering Federal Lands. 1.2 Pickering Federal Airport Lands Location The Pickering Federal Lands are located in the northwest part of Pickering, just north of Highway 407 and the Seaton Community as shown on Figure 1. The Pickering Federal Lands are generally bound by Ninth Concession Road and the Rouge National Urban Park to the north, Sideline 16 to the east, Highway 7 to the south, and York Durham Townline and the Rouge National Urban Park to the west. The Pickering Federal Lands are approximately 3,700 hectares with 1,200 hectares of that land area within the Provincial Greenbelt Plan Area and 300 hectares of land within the Provincial Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan Area. - 109 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 4 2 Background and Site Analysis The following section provides a summary of the applicable land use planning policy framework, a summary of the current and future demographic and economic trends, and a summary of the existing servicing and transportation infrastructure for the Pickering Federal Lands. This background and site analysis helped inform the development of the three land use options. 2.1 Planning Policy Framework This section reviews the applicable Provincial, Regional, and local Municipal planning policy framework including permitted use to help inform the proposed land uses in the three land use options. Although this Report takes the applicable planning policies into consideration, the Federal Government could choose to supersede these policies if the Pickering Federal Lands remain Crown Lands. 2.1.1 Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (ORMCP) (2017) Approximately 300 hectares of the Pickering Federal Lands are within the ORMCP within the Countryside Area and the Natural Linkage Area designations as shown on Figure 2. The ORMCP is an ecologically based plan that provides land use and resource management direction to protect its ecological and hydrological features and functions. The Pickering Federal Lands include two ORMCP designations - Natural Linkage Area and Countryside Area. The purpose of Natural Linkage Areas is to improve or restore, where possible the ecological integrity of the ORMCP area as well as linkages within the ORMCP area (ORMCP 12(1)). Permitted uses within the Natural Linkage Area include but are not limited to agricultural, infrastructure, home industry, low-intensity recreation, and conservation uses (ORMCP 12(3)). The purpose of Countryside Areas is to encourage agricultural and other rural uses (ORMCP 13(1)). Permitted uses within the Countryside Areas include but are not limited to agricultural; infrastructure; home industry; low-intensity recreation; small-scale commercial, industrial and institutional uses complementary to permitted primary uses, and conservation uses (ORMCP 13(3)). - 110 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 5 Figure 2: Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan Land Use Designation Map – Map 5 (Township of Uxbridge, City of Pickering) 2.1.2 Greenbelt Plan (2017) Approximately 1,260 hectares of the Pickering Federal Lands are within the Greenbelt Plan Area in the Protected Countryside and the Natural Heritage System as shown on Figure 3. The Protected Countryside is intended to support a range of recreational, tourism, institutional, and resource-based commercial/industrial uses (GP 3.1.4.1). Farm practices and a full range of agricultural uses, agriculture-related uses and on-farm diversified uses are permitted (GP 3.1.4.2). The entirety of the lands within the Protected Countryside are also within the Natural Heritage System. Key natural heritage and key hydrologic features are to be protected including any associated vegetation protection zones (GP 3.2.2). Pickering Federal Lands - 111 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 6 Figure 3: Greenbelt Plan Map Extract 2.1.3 Municipal Zoning Order O. Reg. 102/72 O. Reg. 102/72 is a regulation passed by the Minister of Municipal Housing and Affairs under the Planning Act that establishes provincial zoning control to restrict development on the Pickering Federal Lands and overrides any municipal zoning by-laws. O. Reg. 102/72 reserves the entirety of the Pickering Federal Lands for the development of a future airport. All buildings or structures are prohibited on the Pickering Federal Lands with the exception of agricultural uses and buildings/structures accessory to it including one single detached dwelling in connection to the agricultural operations. Pickering Federal Lands - 112 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 7 Although the Federal Government announced in January 2025 that the Pickering Federal Lands would no longer be used for a future airport, this regulation is currently still in effect and prevents development on the Pickering Federal Lands. 2.1.4 Regional Official Plan (Envision Durham) Envision Durham was the Region of Durham’s Official Plan (ROP), which was adopted by Regional Council in May 2023, and approved by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing in September 2024. As of January 1, 2025, the Region of Durham was defined by the Province as an “upper-tier municipality without planning responsibilities so Envision Durham is now part of the City of Pickering’s Official Plan. Envision Durham was written prior to the Federal Government’s decision to no longer use the Pickering Federal Lands for a future airport so policies pertaining to the Pickering Federal Lands protect for a future airport in Pickering. Figure 4: Region of Durham Official Plan – Map 1 Regional Structure Envision Durham identifies the Pickering Federal Lands within Special Study Area #1 as shown on Figure 4 and requires further analysis for the development of a future airport to align with federal, provincial, regional and local municipal plans and servicing requirements (ROP 9.1). It is noted that Special Study Area #1 has protected for a future airport since the Region’s first Official Plan so any proposed or recommended land uses on the Pickering Federal Lands are not contemplated in Envision Durham. Policy 5.5.30 of the ROP states that should the Pickering Federal Lands no longer be Pickering Federal Lands - 113 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 8 required for major facilities (an airport), additional uses may be permitted subject to planning studies and land use compatibility. The Pickering Federal Lands are also directly adjacent to Specific Policy Area D – Rouge National Urban Park (RNUP), west of the Pickering Federal Lands as shown on Figure 4. Specific Policy Area D encourages adjacent land uses (such as the Pickering Federal Lands) to have consideration for connections to the active transportation network and compatibility with the RNUP Management Plan (ROP 9.2.11). 2.1.5 Pickering Official Plan (Edition 9) In the Pickering Official Plan (POP), the following land use designations, as shown on Figure 5, apply in the Pickering Federal Lands: • Natural Areas including the Greenbelt Natural Heritage System; • Active Recreational Areas; • Rural Hamlets; • Proposed Airport Site; • Prime Agricultural Areas; • Oak Ridges Moraine Natural Linkage Areas; and • Oak Ridges Moraine Countryside Areas. The Proposed Airport Site designation is an overlay designation that applies to the Pickering Federal Lands west of Brock Road as shown on Figure 5. Policy 2.17 of the POP applies to the Proposed Airport Site designation and only permits open space and agricultural uses until a decision is made regarding a future airport. Since a decision was made in January 2025, this policy is no longer relevant. - 114 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 9 Figure 5: Pickering Official Plan Ed.9 – Schedule I, Sheet 2 of 3 (Land Use Structure) Pickering Federal Lands - 115 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 10 Active Recreational Areas The existing Pickering Glen Golf Club along Seventh Concession Road just west of Sideline 32 is designated as Active Recreational Areas within the Greenbelt Plan. Rural Hamlets Two rural hamlets, namely, Brougham in the southeast and a small portion of Claremont in the northeast are located within the Pickering Federal Lands. Rural Hamlets are historic settlements that focus on limited rural growth and development within the existing hamlet boundary and serve as the service and social centres of the surrounding rural area. The Rural Hamlets designation permits residential, employment, commercial, community, cultural, and recreational uses (POP 3.10 – Table 10). Brougham Figure 6 identifies the land uses in Brougham. As shown, most of Brougham is located within the Pickering Federal Lands. (POP 13.6). Figure 6: Pickering Official Plan Schedule IV-4: Brougham Within Brougham, the Pickering Federal Lands are designated Hamlet Residential, Hamlet Commercial, Hamlet Employment, and Open Space System – Natural Areas. Permitted uses for each designation include: Pickering Federal Lands - 116 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 11 • Hamlet Residential – residential, home occupation, community, cultural, recreation, limited retail office, business, personal service, and employment uses. • Hamlet Commercial – retail, office, business, personal service and employment, residential, home occupation, community, cultural, and recreation uses. • Hamlet Employment – manufacturing, research and development, warehousing, office, and automotive uses. • Open Space System – Natural Areas – conservation, environmental protection, and passive recreation uses. Claremont A portion of Claremont is also located within the Pickering Federal Lands as shown on Figure 7. Figure 7: Pickering Official Plan Schedule IV-10: Claremont-South Section Within Claremont, the Pickering Federal Lands are within the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan Area boundary and are designated Hamlet Residential, Open Space System – Recreational Areas, and Open Space System – Natural Areas in the Pickering Official Plan. Permitted uses for each designation include: Pickering Federal Lands - 117 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 12 • Hamlet Residential – residential, home occupation, community, cultural, recreation, limited retail office, business, personal service and employment uses. • Open Space System – Recreational Areas – conservation, environmental protection, active and passive recreation, and community and cultural uses. • Open Space System – Natural Areas – conservation, environmental protection, and passive recreation uses. Prime Agricultural Areas Most of the Pickering Federal Lands outside of the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan Area and the Greenbelt Plan Area are designated Prime Agricultural Areas as shown on Figure 5. The Prime Agricultural Areas designation permits primary agricultural uses (i.e., growing crops and raising livestock), agricultural-related uses, on-farm diversified uses, and non- agricultural uses (i.e., conservation and mineral aggregate extraction) (POP 3.11 – Table 11). 2.1.6 City of Pickering Zoning By-Law 8149/24 The City of Pickering Zoning By-law (ZBL) 8149/24 is a municipal by-law that regulates the type of land uses and activities that may occur on a property as well as the performance standards of buildings or structures (i.e., height, location and massing). The ZBL implements the policies of the POP by providing more specific permitted land uses and requirements for buildings or structures on a lot. Most of the Pickering Federal Lands are zoned Agriculture in the ZBL as shown on Figure 8. The Agriculture zone generally permits a variety of agricultural uses, agricultural-related uses, on-farm diversified uses, as well as community uses. The north portion of the Pickering Federal Lands within the Oak Ridges Moraines Conservation Plan Area are zoned Oak Ridges Moraine – Agricultural (ORMA) and Oak Ridges Moraine – Environmental Protection (ORMEP). The ORMA zone permits agriculture, agricultural-related uses, on-farm diversified uses, and conservation uses. The ORMEP zone only permits conservation uses. The portion of the Pickering Federal Lands within the hamlet of Brougham are subject to Exception Zone 329 which permits detached dwellings as well as commercial, office and retail uses with site-specific zone provisions for lot area, frontage, side yard setback, amongst others. - 118 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 13 Figure 8: City of Pickering Zoning By-law 8149/24 Schedule Extract 2.2 Economic Overview The following section provides an overview of the economics of various land uses within the City of Pickering and Durham Region and summarizes the ongoing economic trends in Pickering and Durham Region. 2.2.1 Demographics Population growth in both Pickering and Durham Region has outpaced Greater Toronto Area (GTA) growth since 2016, including significant growth since 2021 as shown on Figure 9. As of 2025, the population of Pickering was about 118,000 people and the population of Durham Region was about 811,000 people. Based on projections prepared by metroeconomics, the population in Durham Region is anticipated to grow to as many as 1.3 million residents by 2071 with the GTA growing to 11.1 million residents over this same period. A growing population increases demand Pickering Federal Lands Greenbelt Plan Area - 119 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 14 for housing, employment, and supporting infrastructure in both the City of Pickering and Durham Region. Figure 9: Population Growth Rates, Pickering, Durham Region & GTA (2011 to 2025) Source: Parcel, based on Statistics Canada population estimates. Population adjusted for undercount. 2.2.2 Industrial / Employment Areas Based on the Provincial Planning Statement, Employment Areas means those areas designated in an official plan for clusters of business and economic activities including manufacturing, research and development in connection with manufacturing, warehousing, goods movement, associated retail and office, and ancillary facilities. However, due to recent changes to the PPS, they do not include institutional and commercial uses, including retail and office uses not associated with the primary employment noted listed above. 2.2.3 Industrial Inventory There are 541 hectares (58.2 million square feet) of employment/industrial space in Durham Region, 97 hectares (10.4 million square feet) of which are in Pickering as shown on Figure 10. Durham Region industrial space represents approximately 6% of industrial inventory across the GTA. Figure 10: Industrial Space Inventory, GTA (Q1 2026) Source: Parcel, based on CoStar Realty Services. 3.7% 6.3% 6.0% 9.5% 9.2% 5.6% 14.3% 11.3% 9.7% Pickering Durham Region GTA 2011-2016 2016-2021 2021-2025 - 120 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 15 Construction of industrial space in Durham Region has increased significantly since 2020. Prior to 2020, Durham Region accounted for just 3% of new industrial space delivery in the GTA. Since 2020, that share has grown to 19% as shown on Figure 11. This significant increase depicts that there is growing demand for industrial lands in Durham Region linked to demand in the GTA more broadly. Figure 11: Industrial New Space Delivery, Durham Region & GTA (2013-2025) Source: Parcel, based on CoStar Realty Services. Space delivery for 2026 was excluded due to limited data availability. Just south of the Pickering Federal Lands is the Pickering Innovation Corridor as shown on Figure 12. The Innovation Corridor is approximately 324 hectares (801 acres) and the lands are reserved for high employment generating uses such as light manufacturing, light service industries, research and development industries, warehousing, offices, restaurants, and more. The Innovation Corridor is expected to introduce 24,000 jobs and recent employment development within the Innovation Corridor includes high employment generating uses such as Kubota Canada’s Head Office, Smart Centres, and FGF Brands. 1.2 M 4.1 M 1.5 M 1.2 M 4.4 M 1.9 M 5.2 M 8.2 M 4.5 M 6.9 M 7.9 M 5.4 M 7.2 M 12.6 M 10.5 M 9.2 M 19.2 M 17.2 M 12.8 M 0 sf 2,000,000 sf 4,000,000 sf 6,000,000 sf 8,000,000 sf 10,000,000 sf 12,000,000 sf 14,000,000 sf 16,000,000 sf 18,000,000 sf 20,000,000 sf 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Durham Region GTA - 121 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 16 Figure 12: Pickering Innovation Corridor In addition to this existing space, there are 462 hectares (49.7 million square feet) of industrial space proposed in the GTA. Approximately 9% of proposed space is in Durham Region (39 hectares or 4.2 million square feet). There remains strong interest in industrial space in Durham Region and the City of Pickering. 2.2.4 Office & Retail Commercial Inventory Pickering and Durham Region represent a relatively small share of existing and proposed office space in the GTA. Standalone office uses are likely not viable on the Pickering Federal Lands due to a combination of location, marketability, and a large supply of vacant office space and office sites in the GTA east and Durham Region, however, there may be office components of large industrial operations. Retail commercial inventory is typically driven by nearby residential population. Given a lack of nearby supporting population base, demand for retail/service commercial space will likely be limited to facilities supporting the local employment base. 2.2.5 Factors Impacting Employment Lands Industries that typically locate on employment lands include manufacturing, transportation /warehousing (including warehousing and storage and data centres), wholesale trade, and construction. These industries typically require large greenfield parcels with convenient access to highway transportation. - 122 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 17 Output from warehousing and storage, wholesale trade, and construction has more than doubled since the late 1990s while output from manufacturing has decreased as shown on Figure 13. Most employment lands industries have grown faster than service- producing industries in Ontario. Figure 13: Index of GDP at Basic Prices by Sector, Ontario (1997-2024) Source: Parcel, based on Statistics Canada Table 36-10-0711-01 These trends are projected to continue to 2071 in both Durham Region and the GTA as shown on Figure 14. Notably, GDP growth in Durham Region is anticipated to outpace GDP growth in the GTA reflecting a growing importance for Durham Region to provide appropriate employment lands. Therefore, it will be important for Durham Region and Pickering to have a sufficient supply of shovel ready industrial lands that are available to accommodate growth and provide sufficient market choice.

Much of this demand is anticipated to be met by future employment areas within Northeast Pickering as well as surrounding municipalities like Clarington and Oshawa. Beyond 2051, Parcel forecast a demand for additional employment lands to 2071. These forecasts anticipate that gross domestic product (“GDP”) for employment land related industries in Durham is projected to grow by $4.0 billion between 2051 and 2071 as shown on Figure 15. This growth will require an additional 29.1 million square feet of employment lands between 2051 and 2071. Assuming 30% site coverage and an 80% net-to-gross ratio, this translates a need for approximately 1,127 gross hectares of employment lands between 2051 and 2071 across Durham Region. - 124 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 19 Figure 15: Estimated Demand for Employment Lands based on $GDP per Square Foot, Durham Region (2051 to 2071) Source: Parcel, based on GDP projections prepared by metroeconomics and industrial inventory data from CoStar Realty Inc. Given that the Pickering Innovation Corridor borders the Pickering Federal Lands, accommodating the long-term demand for high employment generating uses on the Pickering Federal Lands would be a logical extension of the emerging employment area along Highway 407 and Highway 7 corridor. The lands are contiguous and additional employment uses in this location can help create a stronger Pickering employment hub. 2.3 Servicing Overview This section summarizes the existing water and wastewater conditions within and in proximity to the Pickering Federal Lands. In 2015, the Region of Durham entered into a front-ending agreement with the Seaton Landowners Group. Part of that agreement was to oversize their water and wastewater piping and some vertical assets (reservoirs and pumping stations) through the Seaton community to accommodate the future airport on the Pickering Federal Lands. The Seaton Landowners Group is responsible to fund a portion of the Federal oversizing costs related to water and sewer assets and the Region is committed to seek cost recovery from the current or future owners of the Pickering Federal Lands on behalf of the Seaton Landowners Group through the imposition of area-specific development charges or other financial instruments available. GDP ($millions)2025 2051 2071 Construction $2,385 $4,058 $5,990 Manufacturing $2,372 $1,757 $1,356 Wholesale Trade $2,314 $4,109 $6,068 Transportation / Warehousing $1,037 $1,677 $2,241 Total $8,108 $11,601 $15,655 2025 Industrial Inventory (CoStar Q4)58.2M SF GDP per square foot (2025)$139 PSF 2051 to 2071 GDP Delta ($ millions)$4,054 2051 to 2071 Additional Industrial Inventory Required 29.1M SF Site Coverage 30% SF 97.0M SF Net ha 901 ha Net-to-Gross 80% Gross ha 1,127 ha - 125 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 20 2.3.1 Water The responsibility for water supply in the City of Pickering lies with the Region of Durham. No local or trunk watermains are located within the Pickering Federal Lands, however, the Seaton Zone 5 Booster Pumping Station is located within the Pickering Federal Lands, just west of Sideline 26 (as shown on Figure 16). It is sized to service the Seaton Lands with a capacity of 200 litres per second. The Zone 5 Booster Pumping Station facility was designed to allow for expansion of the Zone 5 pumping capabilities and to accommodate a Zone 6 pumping station when a future airport was envisioned. A small communal water system owned by the Federal Government is also located in Brougham around the area of Donnalea Avenue and Orchard Heights Drive. Water to the existing Seaton community south of the Pickering Federal Lands is provided by the Ajax Water Supply Plant located on the shores of Lake Ontario. The Ajax Water Supply Plant has a rated capacity of 163.5 million litres of water each day and the Region of Durham is currently undertaking a Class Environmental Assessment to expand its water supply due to increased system demand and community growth. The Region’s capital forecast identifies 100 percent funding for the Ajax Water Supply Plant expansion by 2032, which is subject to review on an annual basis. Water servicing planned for Pickering does not contemplate development beyond what was required for the future airport on the Pickering Federal Lands and some supporting employment uses. Any other development proposals would require further analysis and financial commitment and does not imply there is downstream system capacity available to service the Pickering Federal Lands. Timing for any development on the Pickering Federal Lands should be aligned with other infrastructure improvements including the Ajax Water Supply Plant expansion (detailed design expected to be completed by 2028), as well as utility companies (i.e. Enbridge and Elexicon Energy). - 126 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 21 Figure 16: Water Distribution Network around the Pickering Federal Lands 2.3.2 Wastewater The responsibility for wastewater servicing in the City of Pickering lies with the Region of Durham. No local or trunk sanitary mains are located within the Pickering Federal Lands, however, five trunk sanitary main connection points are planned along the south boundary of the Pickering Federal Lands from the Seaton community as shown on Figure 17. Between the planned connection points, a total allocated capacity of approximately 300 litres of wastewater per second is available for the Pickering Federal Lands and a remaining 1,700 litres per second is available for planned growth elsewhere. Wastewater in the City of Pickering is conveyed to the Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control Plant in Pickering and discharged to Lake Ontario. The Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control Plant has a rated capacity of 630 million litres of wastewater each day and the Region of Durham is currently upgrading the Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control Plant to address future capacity limitation of the sewer discharge. Wastewater servicing planned downstream does not contemplate development on the Pickering Federal Lands beyond what was required for the future airport and some supporting employment uses. Any greater development would require further analysis - 127 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 22 and financial commitment and does not imply there is system capacity available to the south. Timing for any development on the Pickering Federal Lands should be aligned with other infrastructure improvements including the Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control Plan expansion. Figure 17: Wastewater Distribution Network and Connection Points in Seaton 2.4 Transportation Overview This section summarizes the existing road network hierarchy, active transportation network, public transit, and rail network within the Pickering Federal Lands and its surrounding areas. 2.4.1 Road Infrastructure Various existing and planned road infrastructure are within and adjacent to the Pickering Federal Lands as shown on Figure 18. Highway 407 has three existing interchanges (York Durham Line, Whites Road and Brock Road) and a fourth interchange planned (Peter Matthews Drive) just south of the Pickering Federal Lands. Existing Type A Arterial roads include Brock Road (north/south) and Highway 7 (east/west) which borders the Pickering Federal Lands. A second north/south Type A Arterial (Whites Road) terminates at Highway 7 just south of the Pickering Federal Lands in the Seaton community. Existing Type B Arterial roads include York-Durham Line (north/south) which borders the Pickering Federal Lands to the west and the Ninth Concession Road (east/west) at the north end of the Pickering Federal Lands. Sideline 26 (from Seventh Concession Road to Highway 7) and Seventh Concession Road were planned to be Type B Arterials, and Sideline 22 (from Seventh Concession Road to Highway 7) was planned to be a Type C Arterial, but were deferred “pending further study of matters related to the transportation services of Seaton and the Airport”. - 128 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 23 A Preliminary Design Study and Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) to widen Highway 7 from 200 metres west of Ressor Road in Markham to approximately 200 metres west of Brock Road in Pickering was initiated in Fall 2025. The study is expected to be completed in Fall 2027, which will recommend a preferred preliminary design for widening the highway. The majority of Highway 7 within the Pickering Federal Lands is subject to this Environmental Assessment. All other roads within the Pickering Federal Lands are unpaved local roads. - 129 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 24 Figure 18: Existing and Future Transportation System within the Pickering Federal Lands - 130 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 25 As part of the April 2025 Highway 7 Highway Access Management Plan prepared by BA Group on behalf of the Province of Ontario, Region of Durham, City of Pickering and Seaton Landowners Group along the Pickering Innovation Corridor, road realignments were recommended to address the needs of development in the Innovation Corridor and future growth. These planned road realignments onto the Pickering Federal Lands north of Highway 7 include: Sideline 26 – to align with Whites Road (Figure 19), Sideline 20 – to align with Country Lane (Figure 20), and Sideline 22 – to align with planned Peter Matthews Drive (three alignment options – Figure 21). Figure 19: Sideline 26 Realignment Figure 20: Country Lane /Sideline 20 Realignment - 131 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 26 Figure 21: Sideline 22 Realignment – Three Alternatives 2.4.2 Active Transportation Existing active transportation facilities in and around the Pickering Federal Lands include buffered bike lanes along Whites Road and sections of paved shoulders along Highway 7 from York Durham Line to Mowbray Street which is identified as a future cycling facility in the Province-Wide Cycling Network and Regional Cycling Plan. The planned Province-Wide Cycling Network travels along the edges of the Pickering Federal Lands as shown on Figure 22. The planned Regional Primary Cycling Network (PCN) also provides connections to the Pickering Federal Lands as shown on Figure 22. - 132 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 27 Figure 22: Active Transportation Facilities around the Pickering Federal Lands from Regional Official Plan, Map 3D – Active Transportation Network 2.4.3 Public Transit Highway 7 and Peter Matthews Drive (planned) are ‘Transit Spines’ and Highway 407 and Brock Road are ‘Transit Feeders’ as identified in the City of Pickering’s Official Plan. ‘Transit Spines’ are corridors where a higher level of transit service is encouraged within the City’s urban area and ‘Transit Feeders’ are corridors where a higher level of transit service is encouraged connecting the City with other areas. According to the Region’s Transportation Master Plan, Highway 7 and Brock Road within the Pickering Federal Lands are identified as High Frequency Bus in Shared Lane and Other Transit Spine, respectively as shown on Figure 23. Claremont - 133 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 28 Figure 23: 2031 Higher-Order Transit Network from Durham Transportation Master Plan A GO Bus station / Park & Ride / Carpool lot is located at the northwest corner of Brock Road and Ashe Avenue, just south of Highway 407. Three Highway 407 transitway stations are planned along Highway 407 at Whites Road, Peter Matthews Drive, and Brock Road, just south of the Pickering Federal Lands as shown on Figure 18. 2.4.4 Rail The CPKC Rail Line bisects the Pickering Federal Lands as shown on Figure 18. The CPKC Rail Line through Pickering is proposed as a possible commuter rail corridor with speeds reaching 300 kilometres per hour or more for the Toronto-Quebec City High- Speed Rail Network (Alto) which will connect Toronto and Quebec City. - 134 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 29 Alto is currently studying a corridor approximately 10 kilometres wide to explore various alignment elements, conduct environmental and technical studies, and gather public input to refine the corridor. Ultimately, the corridor right-of-way will average about 60 metres wide. No route options have been presented by Alto at this time. Following a preliminary analysis covering technical, environmental, social and financial aspects of the project, Alto will work on determining a preferred alignment with the first segment connecting Ottawa and Montreal. A high-level timeline found on Alto’s project website is shown on Figure 24. Figure 24: Alto Project Timeline There are currently eight at-grade rail/road crossings within the Pickering Federal Lands and they include: • York Durham Line; • Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Concession Road; and • Sidelines 20, 22, 24 and 28. 2.5 Natural Feature Overview This section highlights the natural heritage features in the Pickering Federal Lands from mapping from the Toronto Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) regulated areas, Ecological Land Classification Ranking, and the City of Pickering and Region of Durham Official Plans. - 135 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 30 Figure 25 below depicts the TRCA floodline and TRCA regulated areas which represents constraints to development within the Pickering Federal Lands.

Figure 27: Natural Features within and surrounding the Pickering Federal Lands - 138 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 33 2.6 Agricultural Overview The Pickering Federal Lands are approximately 90% farmed by tenant farmers who alternate between crops of corn, soy and winter wheat. Some small-scale alternate farming operations are also present on the Pickering Federal Lands including community gardens, mushroom farming, and livestock. Tenant farmers currently rent their land at a cost of $120 per workable acre per year. The majority of the Pickering Federal Lands are considered prime agricultural lands (class 1, 2 and 3) and have no significant limitations in terms of land capability for agricultural except for some organic soils in the north and southeast as shown on Figure 28.

These Key Themes include: • Expansion of Rouge National Urban Park; • Other Conservation and Environmental Protection; • Other Public Parks and Recreational Spaces; • Agricultural; • Residential Development; • Commercial Development; • Industrial Development; and • Transportation. The options were developed based on background review provided in this report, opportunities and constraints, the Federal Key Themes, and policy direction. The land use options were prepared for discussion purposes to assist in the preparation of a Recommended Land Use Plan and recommendations from the City of Pickering on their vision for the long-term use of the Pickering Federal Lands. A Fiscal Analysis was undertaken by Parcel to evaluate the three land use options from a fiscal impact perspective. The analysis estimated the economic impact of each option and modelled one-time investments, jobs generated, revenues, and municipal costs at full build-out. A detailed analysis of the fiscal impacts are included in Appendix A of this Report. - 140 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 35 3.1.1 Land Use Option 1 Option 1 consists of the following proposed land areas as shown on Figure 29: 565 hectares of agriculture system (15% of Federal Lands) 1,100 hectares of industrial/employment (30% of Federal Lands) 22,700 jobs 1,430 hectares of Rouge National Urban Park (including natural heritage features) (39% of Federal Lands) 775 hectares of natural heritage features (outside of RNUP) (21% of Federal Lands) - 141 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 36 Figure 29: Land Use Option 1 Rouge National Urban Park Expansion It is proposed that all lands within the Greenbelt Plan Area and the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan be transferred to the Rouge National Urban Park. This area represents approximately 1,430 hectares including the natural heritage features. Conservation and Environmental Protection The Natural Features are based on the Toronto Region Conservation Authority regulated areas as well as the Natural Areas of the Pickering Official Plan. Option 1 protects 775 hectares of significant natural heritage features excluding the natural heritage features within the proposed Rouge National Urban Park. Public Parks and Recreational Spaces The existing Pickering Glen Golf Club and the Oshawa Competition Motorcycle Club within the Pickering Federal Lands should be maintained. - 142 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 37 Agricultural Use Option 1 proposes that the lands between the industrial / employment area and the expanded Rouge National Urban Park generally straddling Eighth Concession Road be designated as a privately-owned agricultural system which comprises approximately 565 hectares. The proposed agricultural system would be comprised of a group of inter- connected elements that collectively create a viable, thriving agri-food sector. Based on the PPS 2024 definition, these elements consist of prime agricultural areas/rural lands as well as an agri-food network which includes agricultural operations, infrastructure, services and assets essential to the viability of the agri-food sector. Residential Development No residential development is proposed as part of this option. Industrial / Employment Development This Option maximizes the amount of industrial/employment lands based on the calculated future need of 1,100 hectares to 2071. The industrial/employment lands are proposed to be located from Highway 7 north to halfway between Seventh Concession Road and Eighth Concession Road, between Sideline 28 and the eastern boundary of the Pickering Federal Lands. This amount of land could generate 22,700 jobs. Transportation and Servicing Roads within the industrial / employment areas will require significant upgrades and all remaining roads outside of the urban area will have to be upgraded to appropriate rural standards. Full municipal servicing would be required in the industrial / employment portion of the Pickering Federal Lands. Municipal services should also be extended to Brougham. The following transportation improvements to the road network are recommended for Option 1: • Upgrade to Type A Arterial o Sideline 26 – Seventh Concession Road to Highway 7 (re-align to connect with Whites Road) • Upgrade to Type B Arterial o Seventh Concession Road – York-Durham Line to Brock Road (upgrade CPKC Rail Crossing) o Sideline 22 – Seventh Concession Road to Highway 7 (re-align to connect with Peter Matthews Drive) • Upgrade to Type C Arterial o North Road – Seventh Concession Road to Highway 7 - 143 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 38 o Sideline 24 – Seventh Concession Road to Highway 7 (re-align to connect with Sideline 24 south of Highway 7) (new road) • Upgrade to Collector Road o Sideline 32 – Seventh Concession Road to Highway 7 o Sideline 28 – Seventh Concession Road to Highway 7 o Sideline 20 – Seventh Concession Road to Highway 7 (re-align to connect with Country Lane) • New Collector Road o North of Seventh Concession Road between Sideline 28 and Brock Road Based on Durham Region’s design criteria for industrial land uses (1.04 L/s/ha) for trunk sewers, Option 1 is expected to generate about 1,144 litres per second of theoretical trunk flow which exceeds the allocated capacity for the Pickering Federal Lands of 300 litres per second. A planning level cost estimate for the construction and upgrade of the road network as well as full municipal servicing is about $400 to $450 million for Option 1. 3.1.2 Land Use Option 1 Opportunities and Constraints Opportunities • Option 1 is a logical extension of the existing Seaton employment area and proposes industrial/employment lands adjacent to the Innovation Corridor in Seaton. • Additional employment uses in this location can help create a Pickering employment hub along Highway 407. Also, these employment lands help to capitalize on previous investments along Highway 407 and planned investments in the widening of Highway 7. • Substantial potential for long-term industrial/employment growth. • Logical expansion of Pickering Innovation Corridor. • All Greenbelt and Oak Ridges Moraine Lands added to the Rouge National Urban Park. • Expansion of Rouge National Urban Park could be used for park uses and/or ongoing agricultural operations. • All significant natural heritage features are protected. • Investment and improvement to agricultural lands and the creation of an agricultural system is more likely if the lands are owned by farmers or on very long-term leases. • Residents may have greater access to a supply of local food that supports the food value chain and various food production related industries as well as the economy. • Existing golf club and motorcycle club will be maintained. - 144 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 39 • Generates the greatest investment ($5.3 billion) and revenues ($347 million one- time and $25.8 million annually) out of all three options. Constraints • Industrial/employment lands north of Seventh Concession Road are likely to be less desirable due to being further away from major transportation corridors (Highway 7 and Highway 407). • Industrial/employment lands in Brougham west of Brock Road are also less desirable due to the compatibility issues with the existing residential uses within the hamlet. • No additional public parks nor recreational spaces are proposed. • Short-term leases create less incentives for on-farm and agricultural-related investments. • Requires the greatest amount of transportation improvements and servicing infrastructure. • Water and sanitary sewer capacity will need to be confirmed and planned. • Does not address residential development Federal Key Theme. • Agricultural system lands could be purchased by speculators. • Highest operating costs ($18.2 million) due to the greatest employment/industrial land area. - 145 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 40 3.1.3 Land Use Option 2 Option 2 consists of the following proposed land areas as shown on Figure 30: 1,405 hectares of agriculture system (38% of Federal Lands) 810 hectares of industrial/employment (22% of Federal Lands) 16,700 jobs 470 hectares of Rouge National Urban Park (including natural heritage features) (13% of Federal Lands) 30 hectares of public park (1% of Federal Lands) 1,160 hectares of natural heritage features (outside of RNUP) (31% of Federal Lands) - 146 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 41 Figure 30: Land Use Option 2 Rouge National Urban Park Expansion The RNUP is proposed to be expanded to the east branch of Duffins Creek which creates a logical boundary to the RNUP. Approximately 470 hectares of land are proposed to be transferred to the RNUP including the natural heritage features within that area. Conservation and Environmental Protection The Natural Features are based on the Toronto Region Conservation Authority regulated areas as well as the Natural Areas of the Pickering Official Plan. Option 2 protects 1,160 hectares of significant natural heritage features excluding the natural heritage features within the proposed Rouge National Urban Park. - 147 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 42 Public Parks and Recreational Spaces Option 2 contemplates a 20 hectare expansion to the district park at Green River Sideline 32 and North Road just south of the Greenbelt for a multi-sport field complex. Option 2 also proposes a 10 hectare future park in the southwest corner of Claremont within the existing Open Space System – Recreational Areas designation. The existing Pickering Glen Golf Club and the Oshawa Competition Motorcycle Club within the Pickering Federal Lands should be maintained. Agricultural Use Option 2 proposes a larger privately-owned agricultural system than Option 1 and the greatest of the three options comprising approximately 1,405 hectares. Residential Development No residential development is proposed as part of this option. Industrial/Employment Development Option 2 proposes a slightly smaller amount of industrial/employment land than Option 1 extending north from Highway 7 and the Innovation Corridor to Seventh Concession Road resulting in 810 hectares of land which could generate 16,700 jobs. Transportation and Servicing Option 2 requires less transportation improvements and servicing infrastructure than Option 1 but full municipal servicing would be required within the industrial / employment portion of the Pickering Federal Lands in conjunction with the proposed road network upgrades. All remaining roads outside of the urban area will have be upgraded to appropriate rural standards. Municipal services should also be extended to Brougham. The following transportation improvements to the road network are recommended for Option 2: • Upgrade to Type A Arterial o Sideline 26 – Seventh Concession Road to Highway 7 (re-align to connect with Whites Road) • Upgrade to Type B Arterial o Seventh Concession Road – York-Durham Line to Brock Road (upgrade CPKC Rail Crossing) o Sideline 22 – Seventh Concession Road to Highway 7 (re-align to connect with Peter Matthews Drive) - 148 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 43 • Upgrade to Type C Arterial o North Road – Seventh Concession Road to Highway 7 o Sideline 24 – Seventh Concession Road to Highway 7 (re-align to connect with Sideline 24 south of Highway 7) (new road) • Upgrade to Collector Road o Sideline 32 – Seventh Concession Road to Highway 7 o Sideline 28 – Seventh Concession Road to Highway 7 o Sideline 20 – Seventh Concession Road to Highway 7 (re-align to connect with Country Lane) Based on Durham Region’s design criteria for industrial land uses (1.04 L/s/ha) for trunk sewers, Option 2 is expected to generate about 866 litres per second of theoretical trunk flow which exceeds the allocated capacity for the Pickering Federal Lands of 300 litres per second. A planning level cost estimate for the construction and upgrade of the road network as well as full municipal servicing is about $350 to $400 million for Option 2. 3.1.4 Land Use Option 2 Opportunities and Constraints Opportunities • RNUP expanded to east branch of Duffins Creek. • Expansion of Rouge National Urban Park could be used for park uses and/or ongoing agricultural operations. • All significant natural heritage features are protected in Option 2. • District Park in Green River expanded to provide additional lands for major outdoor/indoor recreational uses. • The proposed future park in Claremont could introduce new public park to serve the residents of Claremont and the surrounding rural community. • Significant potential for long-term industrial/employment growth. • Logical extension of existing Pickering Innovation Corridor. • Industrial/employment lands limited to south of Seventh Concession Road is closer to Highways 7 and 407 and the Pickering Innovation Corridor. • Additional employment uses in this location can help create a Pickering employment hub along Highway 407. Also, these employment lands help to capitalize on previous investments along Highway 407 and planned investments in the widening of Highway 7. • Allows for industrial/employment growth in other areas of the Region. • Investment and improvement to the agricultural lands and the creation of an agricultural system is more likely if the lands are owned by farmers or on very long-term leases. - 149 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 44 • Residents may have greater access to a supply of local food that supports the food value chain and various food production related industries as well as the economy. Existing golf club and motorcycle club will be maintained. • Generates more investment ($3.9 billion) and revenues ($255.4 million one-time and $19 million annually) than Option 3. Constraints • Short-term leases create less incentives for on-farm and agricultural-related investments. • The proposed industrial/employment between Brougham Road and Brock Road in Brougham is less desirable due to the potential conflict with existing residential uses within the hamlet. • Limited expansion of the Rouge National Urban Park. • Requires substantial transportation/servicing infrastructure upgrades. • Water and sanitary sewer capacity will need to be confirmed and planned. • Does not address residential development Federal Key Theme. • Agricultural system lands could be purchased by speculators. • Substantially lower net operating impacts due to less revenues associated with non-residential development. - 150 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 45 3.1.5 Land Use Option 3 Option 3 consists of the following proposed land areas as shown on Figure 31: 10 hectares of residential (<1% of Federal Lands) 780 hectares of industrial/employment (21% of Federal Lands) 16,000 jobs 2,315 hectares of Rouge National Urban Park (including natural heritage features) (63% of Federal Lands) 30 hectares of public park (1% of Federal Lands) 410 hectares of natural heritage features (outside of RNUP) (11% of Federal Lands) - 151 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 46 Figure 31: Land Use Option 3 Rouge National Urban Park Expansion The proposed RNUP is expanded to include all lands north of the proposed Industrial/Employment Area. However, the existing golf course (Pickering Glen Golf Club) and the Oshawa Competition Motorcycle Club should be allowed to continue through long-term leases. The Rouge Natural Urban Park would comprise approximately 2,315 hectares including natural heritage features. Conservation and Environmental Protection The Natural Features are based on the Toronto Region Conservation Authority regulated areas as well as the Natural Areas of the Pickering Official Plan. Option 3 protects 410 hectares of significant natural heritage features excluding the natural heritage features within the proposed Rouge National Urban Park expansion. - 152 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 47 Public Parks and Recreational Spaces Option 3 contemplates a 20 hectare expansion to the district park at the southwest corner between Sideline 32 and North Road just south of the Greenbelt. Option 3 also proposes a 10 hectare future park in the southwest corner of Claremont within the existing Open Space System – Recreational Areas designation. The existing Pickering Glen Golf Club and the Oshawa Competition Motorcycle Club within the Pickering Federal Lands should be maintained. Agricultural Use No Agricultural System designation is proposed, however, agricultural uses will be permitted in the Rouge National Urban Park (RNUP). Therefore, no privately-owned agricultural land would be available. Residential Development A small area of residential use (10 ha) is proposed adjacent to the Brougham Hamlet. The proposed residential uses are located between Brougham Road and Brock Road and will complement the existing Hamlet Residential area. Industrial/Employment Development Option 3 proposes a slightly less amount of industrial/employment land than Option 2 at 780 hectares. The 780 hectares of industrial/employment lands could generate approximately 16,000 jobs. The industrial/employment lands are proposed to be located between Highway 7 and Seventh Concession Road except for the areas north of the large central natural feature east of Sideline 22. The lands will extend from North Road south of the Greenbelt, east towards Sideline 16 which represents a logical extension of the existing Seaton employment area. Should these lands be designated industrial/employment lands, the industrial/employment area should be extended east to the Greenbelt at Sideline 14 between Seventh Concession Road and Highway 7 (outside of the Pickering Federal Lands) because it represents a logical extension along the Highway 407 and Highway 7 corridor. Transportation and Servicing Option 3 requires less transportation improvements and servicing infrastructure than Option 1 but full municipal servicing would be required in the industrial / employment portion of the Pickering Federal Lands in conjunction with the proposed road network upgrades. Municipal services should also be extended to Brougham. All remaining roads outside of the urban area will have be upgraded to appropriate rural standards. As well, the following transportation improvements to the road network are recommended for Option 3: - 153 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 48 • Upgrade to Type A Arterial o Sideline 26 – Seventh Concession Road to Highway 7 (re-align to connect with Whites Road) • Upgrade to Type B Arterial o Seventh Concession Road – York-Durham Line to Brock Road (upgrade CPKC Rail Crossing) o Sideline 22 – Seventh Concession Road to Highway 7 (re-align to connect with Peter Matthews Drive) • Upgrade to Type C Arterial o North Road – Seventh Concession Road to Highway 7 o Sideline 24 – Seventh Concession Road to Highway 7 (re-align to connect with Sideline 24 south of Highway 7) (new road) • Upgrade to Collector Road o Sideline 32 – Seventh Concession Road to Highway 7 o Sideline 28 – Seventh Concession Road to Highway 7 o Sideline 20 – Seventh Concession Road to Highway 7 (re-align to connect with Country Lane) Based on Durham Region’s design criteria for industrial land uses (1.04 L/s/ha) for trunk sewers, Option 3 is expected to generate about 915 litres per second of theoretical trunk flow which exceeds the allocated capacity for the Pickering Federal Lands of 300 litres per second. A planning level cost estimate for the construction and upgrade of the road network as well as full municipal servicing is about $350 to $400 million for Option 3. 3.1.6 Land Use Option 3 Opportunities and Constraints Opportunities • RNUP expanded significantly to include all lands north of the Industrial/Employment Area. • Expansion of Rouge National Urban Park could be used for park uses and/or ongoing agricultural operations. • All significant natural heritage features are protected. • District park in Green River expanded to provide additional lands for major outdoor/indoor recreational uses. • Proposed park in Green River could provide connections to the Rouge National Urban Park further west. • Proposed future park in Claremont could introduce new public park to serve the residents of Claremont and the surrounding rural community. • Logical extension of the Pickering Innovation Corridor. - 154 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 49 • Significant potential for long-term industrial/employment growth. • Additional employment uses in this location can help create a Pickering employment hub/node along Highway 407. Also, these employment lands help to capitalize on previous investments along Highway 407 and planned investments in the widening of Highway 7. • Existing golf club and motorcycle club will be maintained. • Generates less investment ($3.7 billion) and revenues ($244.4 million one-time and $18.2 million annually) than Options 1 and 2. • Provides for modest residential growth in Brougham to help revitalize the Hamlet. • Keeps agricultural lands from being purchase by speculators. Constraints • Agricultural uses in the RNUP will likely be leased which limits the opportunities for long-term farm investments and is less likely to create a vibrant agricultural system on the Pickering Federal Lands. • Industrial/employment lands limited to south of Seventh Concession Road and south of the natural area east of Sideline 22 is closer to Highways 7 and 407 as well as the Pickering Innovation Corridor. • Requires substantial transportation/servicing infrastructure upgrades. • Water and sanitary sewer capacity will need to be confirmed and planned. • Substantially lower net operating impacts due to less revenues associated with non-residential development. - 155 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 50 4 Engagement Summary As part of the City’s engagement on the future uses of the Pickering Federal Lands, meetings to discuss the options were held both virtual and in person with the Project Steering Committee, the Durham Agricultural Advisory Committee (DAAC), Lakeridge Health, Northeast Pickering Landowners Group, Region of Durham, Members of Council, the City’s local MP, and the Mayors of Whitchurch-Stouffville and Uxbridge, the deputy mayor of Ajax and the Chair of Durham Region. A Public Open House was also held on April 22, 2026 at City Hall. Input received from the Steering Committee meeting, focus group/one-on-one meetings, and the Open House informed the Staff Recommended Land Use Plan and the recommendations in Section 5 of this Report and provide the basis for input into Transport Canada’s ongoing engagement. The following summarizes input received from stakeholders, members of the public, landowners and elected officials grouped into the different Federal Key Themes including questions about fiscal impacts: Rouge National Urban Park Expansion • Support for the expansion of the RNUP across the entire Pickering Federal Lands and transfer of Pickering Federal Lands to Parks Canada. Conservation and Environmental Protection • Concerns regarding negative impacts to natural heritage features, biodiversity, and ecological system. • Preservation of natural features over development, especially in ecologically significant areas (i.e., wetlands, woodlots, etc.). • Public concerns with potential flooding downstream. • Presence of heritage-listed properties. Public Parks and Recreational Spaces • Support for expansion of park and recreational spaces for a district park. • Recognize social and health benefits of a district park. • Not enough parkland provided due to expansion of RNUP. - 156 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 51 Agricultural • Support for protecting agricultural uses for food security, local economic resilience, and long-term sustainability. • Preference for private land ownership or long-term leases to support farm investments. • Concerns with agricultural viability if lands transferred to RNUP with leases. • Short-term leases limit investment into the lands. • Existing lessees have also expressed interest in retaining their leases and potentially expanding their operations. • Concern for land speculation if lands offered for sale. Residential Development • Some support for limited residential development around Brougham. • Concerns with overdevelopment and burdens on existing infrastructure capacity. • Not a priority compared to expansion of RNUP, conservation or agricultural uses. • Interested in long-term protection. • Concerns with no connection for residential to amenities, grocery stores, transit, schools, etc. • Consideration for affordable housing managed by Canada Lands Company. • Inclusion of lands for long-term care facilities. Commercial/Industrial Development • Concerns with over-allocation of employment lands. • Concerns with impact on natural heritage system and agricultural lands. • Some support for job creation and strategic location of employment lands near Highways 407 and 7. • Industrial/employment lands along Highway 7 are a logical expansion of employment north of Seaton. • Opportunity to contribute positively to public health through job creation and income creation. • Concerns with employment uses related to distribution/warehousing. • General support for more job creation in Durham. • Some emphasized the importance of locating employment along planned transportation corridors like Highways 407 and 7 to support logistics efficiency. Transportation/Servicing • Not a priority for respondents. • Concerns with lack of infrastructure capacity and the implications of Alto. • Roads in the Pickering Federal Lands are predominantly owned and managed by the Federal Government. - 157 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 52 • Concerns over current state of roads and infrastructure. • Servicing planned for the Pickering Federal Lands do not contemplate development beyond what would be required for an airport and supporting employment uses. • Compensation for Seaton Landowners Group for front-ending infrastructure to support the previously planned airport. Fiscal Impacts • Costs associated with upgrading and maintaining roads within the Pickering Federal Lands. • Require fiscal analysis to understand impacts on municipal finance. • Implications for development charges associated with different Land Use Options. - 158 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 53 5 Recommendations We heard through the Public Open House desire for the Pickering Federal Lands to be transferred in their entirety to Parks Canada for an expansion of the RNUP. An expansion over these lands to create a much larger RNUP would not generate any additional employment land or significant economic and fiscal benefits to the City; no additional City owned public park or recreational spaces; and agricultural lands would likely be leased which limits the opportunity for long-term farm investments. Expanding the RNUP could create additional financial burdens for the City due to additional City services required by the residents of the park and would have a net negative financial impact to the City since the lands are owned by the Federal Government. Fees associated with the park development would not go to the City and no additional municipal revenues are anticipated beyond the $1.1 million the City currently receives annually as cash-in-lieu property tax payments. As a result, based on a review of the opportunities and constraints of the three land use options and stakeholder and public input to those options, the consulting team has developed a set of recommendations that aims to provide a balance of land uses to inform Council’s response to the Transport Canada’s engagement on the future uses of the former Pickering Federal Lands. A graphic representation on those recommendations is contained in Figure 33 which shows how the various land uses should be distributed. Further description of these recommendations are provided in text below. - 159 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 54 Figure 33: Recommended Land Use Plan for the Pickering Federal Lands The following recommendations consider each of the Federal Key Themes: • It is recommended that Transport Canada create a land use plan to help define the priorities for the Pickering Federal Lands over a long-term planning horizon. The land use plan should take into consideration the recommendations presented herein and be provided to the public for review and comment. • All significant natural heritage features should be identified in the field, staked and appropriate vegetation protection zones applied. These staked natural heritage features should be transferred to Parks Canada as part of the Rouge National Urban Park. • Approximately 20 hectares between Sideline 32 and North Road should be transferred to the City of Pickering for an expansion of its district park to be used for major indoor and outdoor recreational facilities and sport amenities to serve the residents of Pickering. - 160 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 55 • Approximately 10 hectares designated as Open Space System – Recreational Areas in the Hamlet of Claremont should be transferred to the City of Pickering for park purposes to serve the residents of Claremont and the surrounding rural community. • Don Beer Memorial Park within the Hamlet of Brougham should be transferred to the City of Pickering to manage, operate, and maintain the existing park. • Other existing recreational uses such as the Pickering Glen Golf Club and the Oshawa Competition Motorcycle Club should be given the opportunity to acquire long-term leases to continue their operations. • Existing cultural heritage buildings within the Pickering Federal Lands should be conserved and actively reused to prevent from falling into disrepair. • The presence of significant archaeological sites within the Pickering Federal Lands should be further investigated and the appropriate protection provided. • Transport Canada should work with the Provincial Government to revoke O. Reg. 102/72 to permit the future development of the Pickering Federal Lands. • The Hamlet of Brougham should be revitalized with residential and commercial lessees in the Hamlet provided the opportunity to either purchase their leased properties or enter into long-term leases. A secondary plan should be undertaken by the City to identify the appropriate residential and commercial land uses to revitalize the Hamlet and updated zoning put in place. Following completion of the secondary plan, vacant lots should be sold for purposes set out in the secondary plan and zoning by-law. The lands between Brougham Road and Brock Road should be made available for residential development once the secondary plan is completed. • Other than residential development in Brougham, significant residential development is not recommended on the Pickering Federal Lands. If the Federal Government wants to consider significant housing development, it should be considered elsewhere in exchange for protecting Pickering Federal Lands for long-term agricultural and environmental purposes. • Transport Canada should consider development of an economic corridor along the north side of Highway 7 as an expansion of the Pickering Innovation Corridor to the south of Highway 7. A broad range of high employment generating uses should be considered including industrial, institutional, health care, post- secondary and ancillary commercial to support employment uses. It is recommended that the Federal Government through Canada Lands Corporation be the developer of the lands including front ending the infrastructure required to - 161 - Pickering Federal Lands Land Use Review & Economic Analysis May 2026 Recommendation Report City of Pickering 56 implement the economic corridor and either sell lots or provide long-term leases. Development of the economic corridor should be phased to ensure other lands within Pickering designated for employment uses are developed first. • Transport Canada should explore how to ensure the creation of a vibrant Agricultural System on the remaining Pickering Federal Lands where farmers are incentivized to invest in farm improvements, on-farm diversified uses and agricultural related uses. These lands could be included in an expanded Rouge National Urban Park provided the Federal Government provides long-term leases and incentives for farmers to invest in the lands. If the Federal Government plans to sell the lands to farmers, restrictions on the future use of the lands through an expanded Greenbelt Plan or land trust to ensure no future conversion or development pressures that would allow the lands to be removed from the agricultural system. • Prior to Transport Canada transferring or selling any of the Pickering Federal Lands, significant road improvements should be undertaken. These include: o The Whites Road / Sideline 26 Realignment; o Country Lane / Sideline 20 Realignment; o Peter Matthews Drive / Sideline 22 Realignment; o Upgrading and paving of Seventh Concession to a Type B arterial Road standard; o Upgrading and paving of Sideline 20, Sideline 26 and Sideline 22 to an appropriate arterial Road standard; and o Upgrading all remaining rural roads including those within agricultural areas to an appropriate standard that can accommodate agricultural machinery traffic. • Transport Canda should accommodate the widening of Highway 7 (between Ressor Road in Markham to Brock Road in Pickering) subject to the findings of the environmental assessment. • Transport Canada should make lands available for a future (potential) station for the Alto High-Speed Rail. • Once the roads are upgraded and improved, consideration should be given to transfer federally owned and maintained roads to City of Pickering. • Transport Canada should work with Durham Region to coordinate water and wastewater servicing capacity and requirements for the economic corridor to support the proposed land uses.

170 - Pickering Federal Lands – Economic & Fiscal Impact Analysis 1 1.0 Economic & Fiscal Impact Modelling 1.1 Approach We have quantified the following indicators to estimate the economic impact of the new industrial/employment development proposed in three land use options 1, 2 and 3. The economic and fiscal impacts modelled in this analysis include: • One-time investment (i.e., hard and soft construction costs) • Jobs • City of Pickering Revenues o Development Charges (one-time) o Building Permit Fees (one-time) o Annual Property Taxes (ongoing) o Other Non-Tax Revenues (i.e., user fees, fines and other revenues) (ongoing) • City of Pickering Costs o Required Municipal Capital Projects (one-time) o Operational Costs to Service New Development (i.e., road maintenance, provision of emergency services, etc.) (ongoing) - 171 - Pickering Federal Lands – Economic & Fiscal Impact Analysis 2 o Incremental Operating Costs (i.e., operating costs associated with new roads / stormwater located within the Pickering Federal Lands) (ongoing) o Lifecycle Capital Costs (i.e., lifecycle costs to replace the incremental capital assets that are directly related to the proposed development) It should be noted that all estimated revenues and expenses are stated in 2025 dollars and are assessed at the full build-out of the land use options. Caveats & Limitations We note the limitations of trying to quantify hypothetical economic impact more than 25 years into the future. It is almost certain that inputs used in this analysis will change between now and 2051. As such, the numbers presented herein are best interpreted as a comparison of the relative impact of each land use option based on current assumptions rather than a predictor of actual investment, jobs, and taxes. We also note the number presented herein represents net new investment, jobs, revenues, and costs associated with employment land designations. We do not anticipate additional benefit to the City of Pickering from agricultural or Rouge National Urban Park (“RNUP”) designations since these represent “status quo” use of the Pickering Federal Lands. 1.2 One-Time Investment We have estimated the one-time construction-related investments required to realize employment land development for each land use option based on: • The Altus Construction Cost Guide (2025) to estimate hard costs (e.g., costs directly related to the construction of new buildings, including material and labour costs), specifically assuming median costs for warehouse construction in the GTA ($130 per square foot/); and, • A high-level estimate of anticipated soft costs (e.g., costs indirectly related to construction and the preliminary planning / design / approvals stages of development, including architectural and engineering fees, consultant fees, government charges, etc.), assumed to be 30% of total development costs. - 172 - Pickering Federal Lands – Economic & Fiscal Impact Analysis 3 Based on this assessment, we estimate that the land use options could result in a one-time investment ranging from $3.7 billion to $5.3 billion. Figure 1.1 Land Use Options Construction Cost Investments Source: Parcel, based on land use options prepared by SGL and 2025 Altus Construction Cost Guide. 1.3 Jobs The number of potential jobs generated by the different land use options assume 116 square metres per job per the Durham DC Background report. Based on this assessment, we estimate the land use option 1 to 3 could accommodate between 16,000 and 22,700 full-time equivalent (“FTE”) employment-related jobs. It is difficult to predict what, if any, additional agricultural jobs would be created within expanded agricultural uses or the RNUP.

Based on current development charges1, full development of the Pickering Federal Lands is estimated to generate between $212.6M and $301.9M in development charges. In land use options 1 to 3, 70% of development charges are allocated for transportation services based on current development charge rates in the City. It is important to note that these estimates are based on current development charge rates. If new capital infrastructure projects are added to the capital program in future development charge by-laws, it could result in higher development charge rates, which would result in additional development charge revenue for the City to fund growth-related infrastructure costs. Based on current building permit rates2, full development of the Pickering Federal Lands is estimated to generate between $31.8M and $45.1M in building permit fees. 1 $114.42 per square metre based on City-wide development charges effective July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026. 2 $17.10 per square metre based on Mercantile Occupancies “E” Classification (BPE1) single storey, effective January 6, 2026.

Property Taxes Property tax revenues are based on 2025 City of Pickering tax rates3 and an estimated assessment value4 of $1,135 per square metre, which represents the weighted average of MPAC assessment values of nearby industrial developments that could act as precedents for the type of employment development envisioned on the Pickering Federal Lands (Figure 1.3). Figure 1.3 Assessed Values of Precedent Industrial Developments Source: Parcel, based on MPAC data. Based on this assessment, we estimate total property tax revenue from the build-out of the lands could range from $16.7M to $23.7M for land use options 1 to 3. We note these numbers are annual amounts based on full build- out of the Pickering Federal Lands and 2025 tax rates. Actual tax revenues will vary as tax rates change up to and including the 2051 to 2071 development period contemplated and any phased development of the lands (i.e., likely to be built out over many years). 3 0.00789916 for industrial uses. 4 January 1, 2016 assessment values per current Assessment Act freeze.

Non-tax revenues are summarized by category (e.g., payments in lieu of taxes, grants, fines, penalties, etc.). Growth in non-tax revenue is based on Parcel assumptions for the portion of non-tax revenue that could increase in proportion to proposed employment growth on the Pickering Federal Lands. Generally speaking, we have assumed new jobs on the Pickering Federal Lands will generate the same user fees per employee as existing jobs in Pickering. In total, non-property tax revenues range from $1.5M to $2.2M. These revenues are nominal on account of user fees and services charges being predominantly paid for by residents, not employees (e.g., a Pickering resident is more likely to use a recreation centre than someone who only works in Pickering). Combined, land use options for the Pickering Federal Lands will result in ongoing annual revenues for the City of Pickering ranging from $18.2M to $25.8M, assuming no change to property taxes or non-property tax revenue rates.

It is assumed that capital costs for new infrastructure are funded through development charges. If subsequent changes are made to the existing land use or concept plans, the estimate will need to be refined accordingly. Given the land use concepts primarily contemplate development via employment uses, an estimate of community infrastructure (e.g., recreation centres, libraries, fire halls, etc.) has not been included, except for the parks contemplated in land use options 1 to 3.

For this analysis, we have deducted interest on long-term debt, external transfers and amortization from total expenditures to arrive at net operating expenditures. Debt charges have been removed because these charges are for “sunk” investments and are unaffected by growth. Similarly, external transfers are not directly linked to the services that will be provided on the Pickering Federal Lands. For amortization, this reflects the depreciation of historical costs and have been calculated separately as life-cycle replacement costs elsewhere in this analysis. These adjusted operating expenditures have then been allocated between residential and non-residential sectors based on existing population and employment. After allocating adjusted operating expenditures between the residential and non-residential sectors, we have estimated the degree to which adjusted operating expenditures will change with additional growth, by applying a “growth-related” factor. In some cases, this growth-related factor recognizes that there would be proportionate increases in operating costs relative to the operating expenditures being incurred by the City to provide services to existing residents and employees (i.e. a 100% growth factor), while in other cases a small allowance is made for efficiencies and economies of scale. There are some services, such as general government, planning and development and solid waste collection where costs will likely grow at a slower pace than population or employment growth, as there are greater opportunities for economies of scale. The following table summarizes the various growth-related factors assigned in our analysis. - 178 - Pickering Federal Lands – Economic & Fiscal Impact Analysis 9 Figure 1.6 Municipal Operating Costs Growth Assumptions Growth-Related Factor Rationale 50% Service areas where there are assumed to be significant economies of scale, as additional community infrastructure is not anticipated to accommodate new growth. 75% There are assumed to be some economies of scale through more efficient use of existing infrastructure. 100% Where new community infrastructure is proposed within the Pickering Federal Lands and not estimated separately through site-specific operating costs, there are anticipated to be a proportionate increase in per capita operating costs. Source: Parcel. In total, non-residential operating costs are estimated to be between $7.6M and $10.8M, depending on the land use option. Annual Operating Costs for New Site-Specific Infrastructure This analysis also includes the costs of operating and maintaining infrastructure that is internal to the Pickering Federal Lands, including infrastructure such as roads and water distribution. For purposes of this analysis, operating and maintenance costs from the 2024 FIR for Paved Roads, Winter Control Costs, Urban Storm Sewer System, and Parks have been used. The operating costs were then divided by the quantity of infrastructure maintained by the municipality currently to determine the operating costs per unit. These annual per rate units have then been applied to the infrastructure anticipated as part of the Pickering Federal Lands, with estimates summarized in Figure 1.7. Operating costs are estimated to be between approximately $0.8M and $1.6M per year depending on full build- out of the land use options. - 179 - Pickering Federal Lands – Economic & Fiscal Impact Analysis 10 Figure 1.7 On-Site Operating & Maintenance Costs per Unit Source: Parcel based on City of Pickering’s 2024 Financial Information Return. Operating costs include: Salaries, Wages and Employee Benefits, Materials, Contracted Services, Rents and Financial Expenses and Transfers. Capital Lifecycle Replacement Costs for Site-Specific Infrastructure In addition to annual operating costs associated with new site-specific infrastructure, our analysis also includes lifecycle capital costs to replace infrastructure at the end of its estimated useful life. Replacement costs per unit and the estimated useful life of various infrastructure are based on information included in the City of Pickering’s Asset Management Plan 2025. As phasing of development of the Pickering Federal Lands is not currently known, we have calculated total lifecycle replacement costs assuming all infrastructure will be developed and conveyed at the same time. These annual lifecycle replacement costs are estimated to be between approximately $5.8M and $6.6M.

Based on estimated revenues and operating costs, the land use options 1 to 3 are anticipated to have a net positive financial benefit to the City of Pickering ranging from $3.3M to $7.6M. This is largely related to significant revenues compared to operating costs associated with non-residential development.

Net operating impact totals may not add due to rounding. 1.7 Summary Overall, land use option 1 generates the greatest investment, jobs, and revenues, followed by land use option 2 and land use option 3. However, we note Option 1 outcomes assume the Pickering Federal Lands absorb all employment land demand for Durham Region post-2051. Some of this demand is likely to be accommodated in other Durham Region municipalities.

That Report FIN 05-26 regarding the Investment Portfolio Activity for the Year Ended December 31, 2025 be received for information. 1.0 Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to share a summary of the investment activity and year-end balance in the portfolio for 2025. Current Fund investments are limited to one year or less and Reserve Funds to 10 years or less under the Council approved policy. The last few years have seen the value of the portfolio consistently rise which is primarily as a result of the ongoing development in Pickering which provides the collection of development charges. Overall, returns on the City’s portfolio compare favourably to market benchmarks. 2.0 Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report respond to the Pickering Strategic Plan Priorities of Champion Economic Leadership & Innovation; Advance Innovation & Responsible Planning to Support a Connected, Well-Serviced Community; Strengthen Existing & Build New Partnerships; and Foster an Engaged & Informed Community. 3.0 Financial Implications: Total investment income including bank account interest for 2025 was $7.06 million (2024 - $9.65 million) of which $3.98 million (2024 - $7.09 million) was for Current (Operating) Funds. The balance of the income was allocated to the various reserve funds. Lower investment - 212 - FIN 05-26 May 25, 2026 Page 2 income in 2025 compared to 2024 is the result of lower interest rates from all investment sources. 4.0 Discussion: The purpose of this report is to share a summary of the investment activity and year-end balance in the portfolio for 2025. Current Fund investments are limited to one year or less and Reserve Funds to 10 years or less under the Council approved policy. The last few years have seen the value of the portfolio consistently rise which is primarily a result of the ongoing development in Pickering which provides the collection of development charges. Overall, returns on the City’s portfolio compare favourably to market benchmarks. The City’s investment portfolio is comprised of two main components: (i) Reserve Funds; and (ii) Balances available in the Current Fund, when not required to meet current operating expenditures. The latter balance can vary greatly depending upon many factors including the timing of the receipt of property taxes and levy payments to the School Boards and the Region. Investments are undertaken as one consolidated pool of funds and interest earned is credited back to the appropriate funds. The Treasurer of the City of Pickering is required under Provincial Regulation 438/97 to report certain information and opinions to Council. The schedules to this report are included as part of the Regulation’s information requirements. The portfolio balance of $233.2 million (2024 - $204.2) as at December 31, 2025 has increased over the prior year. However, the City’s outstanding capital commitments for the year ending December 31, 2025 is estimated to be $154 million. The increase is primarily as a result of the increase in development charge collections over the prior year from the ongoing building activity in the City, particularly in the Seaton area. The return on the portfolio, maintained with Nesbitt Burns, decreased in 2025 with a weighted yearly rate of return of 4.31% (2024 – 4.99%) on the combined short-term and long-term investments. This was as a result of the interest rates that were elevated from January to August 2024, beginning to decline; short-term rates were averaging at 4.50 % at the end of 2024, the average of the short-term rates at the end of 2025 were 3.21%. The average rate of the investment portfolio for both the short-term and long-term investments is 4.07%. The City’s holdings of investments in the portfolio continue to be mainly guaranteed investment certificates (GIC) to take advantage of higher yields. Since GICs don’t provide the same liquidity, the City also changed the timing of maturities to a ladder approach with both the short-term and long-term paper, to allow for maturities every month. As a result, the City was able to lock into GICs to obtain higher yields but also ensuring sufficient cash flows to meet the - 213 - FIN 05-26 May 25, 2026 Page 3 City’s financial needs. The decreases in the Bank of Canada rate from June to December 2024 had an impact on the 2025 portfolio’s performance. With the Bank of Canada rate lowered in 2025, a reduction in the 2026 portfolio performance is anticipated. The net performance on TD Wealth’s portion of the portfolio for 2025 was 5.12% (2024 – 5.39%). Again, with the interest rates declining after August 2024, the portfolio’s performance began to decline. TD Wealth’s short-term investments represent 7.88% of total short-term investments held in the investment portfolio. In July 2025, the City of Pickering added a High Interest Savings Account (HISA) held by ONE Investment. ONE Investment is a not-for-profit company that has been helping Ontario municipalities with their investment needs for over 30 years. The company's mission is to empower Ontario municipalities to harness the power of investments as a financial planning tool. The High Interest Savings Account’s balance of $30.25 million at the end of 2025 is fully liquid and readily available for the City of Pickering’s needs. The average rate of return in 2025 was 3.09%. For comparison purposes, the following benchmarks provide the closest representative return data. When considering these benchmarks, there are issues that should be taken into consideration when comparing the representative rates of return. First, the guidelines set out in the Municipal Act prohibits Municipalities from owning any fixed income investments that are not either government guaranteed or issued by a major Canadian Chartered Bank. Canadian money market funds used to construct the Morningstar Canadian Money Market Index contain a high percentage of higher yielding money market products including investments such as asset backed securities, some of which the investment guidelines within the policy prohibits. Also, the City’s investment portfolio has a smaller percentage of qualified fixed income investments that are slightly longer than the one-year maturity period that typically defines money market investments. The annual returns from both Nesbitt Burns and TD Wealth either outperformed or were in-line with FTSE Canada 91 Day T-Bill Index (formerly CIBC Canada 91 Day T-Bill Index) (2.97%) and the Morningstar Canadian Money Market Mutual Fund Index (2.84%). The average return on interfund investments (internal loans) was 4.58% (2024 – 3.71%). At year-end 2025, the total portfolio of approximately $233.2 million, consisted of approximately $123.1 million or 52.8% in external long-term investments and approximately $594 thousand or 0.25% in Interfund Investments (Internal Loans). The balance of approximately $109.5 million is short-term investments due within the year. All investments were made in accordance with the Investment Policy approved by Council on March 4, 1998 (Resolution #56/98). Attachments: 1.

Attachment 6 - Report FIN 05-26 - 225 - Report to Council Report Number: FIN 06-26 Date: May 25, 2026 From: Stan Karwowski Director, Finance & Treasurer Subject: Financial Housekeeping Report # 2 File: A2000-001 Recommendation: 1. That Report FIN 06-26 regarding the Financial Housekeeping Report #2 be received; 2. That Council approve the draft Purchasing Policy (PUR 010), as amended, set out in Attachment 1; 3. That Council approve the draft Municipal Alcohol Policy (ADM 320), as amended, set out in Attachment 3, and an effective date of June 30, 2026; and 4. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the actions necessary to implement the recommendations in this report. 1.0 Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to seek the authorizations and directions necessary to implement the recommendations and to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the procurement processes, by increasing the dollar thresholds before Council approval. The addition to the Purchasing Policy (PUR 010) Exceptions Appendix addresses those possible situations during the election cycle where they may need to purchase additional IT equipment and technology such as laptops in order for the election to proceed without delay or problems. In addition, the proposed addendum to the insurance section of the Municipal Alcohol Policy (ADM 320) will provide additional financial protection to the City. The increase in the policy dollar limit recognizes that large crowds combined with alcohol consumption significantly increase the risk of "mass casualty" or multi-party incidents. A $10 million per occurrence policy limit better aligns with the potential scale of these damages, with an effective date of June 30, 2026. In addition, as litigation costs and court awards for personal injury rise, $5 million is increasingly viewed as insufficient for large-capacity events. - 226 - FIN 06-26 May 25, 2026 Page 2 2.0 Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report respond to the Pickering Strategic Plan Priority of Advance Innovation & Responsible Planning to Support a Connected, Well-Serviced Community; Foster an Engaged & Informed Community. 3.0 Financial Implications: There are no additional costs associated with the adoption of the recommendations. However, if the recommendations are approved by Council, this will enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the procurement cycle and provide greater financial protection to the City as it relates to large crowd alcohol events. 4.0 Discussion: The purpose of this report is to seek the authorizations and directions necessary to implement the recommendations and to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the procurement processes. The addition to the Purchasing Policy (PUR 010) Exceptions Appendix addresses those possible situations during the election cycle where they may need to purchase additional IT equipment and technology such as laptops in order for the election to proceed without delay or problems. In addition, the proposed addendum to the insurance section of the Municipal Alcohol Policy will provide additional financial protection to the City. The increase in the policy dollar limit for events with over 5,000 participants recognizes that large crowds combined with alcohol consumption significantly increase the risk of "mass casualty" or multi-party incidents. A $10 million per occurrence policy limit better aligns with the potential scale of these damages, with an effective date of June 30, 2026. In addition, as litigation costs and court awards for personal injury rise, $5 million is increasingly viewed as insufficient for large- capacity events. The Purchasing recommendations can be easily summarized as increasing the dollar thresholds before Council approval is sought resulting in a quicker turnaround for awarding contracts if the purchased price falls within the new dollar limits and the project is under budget. Table one provides a summary of the proposed changes. Table One Purchasing Policy Section Current Current Council Report Recommendation Proposal 06.11 (b) Over $75,000 and up to $250,000, Manager, 2 a) Over $75,000 and up to $500,000, Manager, - 227 - FIN 06-26 May 25, 2026 Page 3 Director, Finance & Treasurer, CAO Director, Finance & Treasurer, CAO 06.11 (c) Over $250,000 Council approval required 2 b) Over $500,000 Council approval required 10.03 (b) Between $30,000 to $50,000 is subject to the additional approval of the Director, Finance & Treasurer and CAO 2 c) Between $30,000 to $125,000 is subject to the additional approval of the Director, Finance & Treasurer and CAO 10.03 (c) Above $50,000 is subject to the additional approval of Council. The initiating Director shall submit the Report to Council to obtain approval. 2 d) Above $125,000 is subject to the additional approval of Council. The initiating Director shall submit the Report to Council to obtain approval. 10.04 (b) An award between $30,000 and $50,000 is subject to the additional approval of the Director, Finance & Treasurer and the CAO. 2 e) An award between $30,000 and $125,000 is subject to the additional approval of the Director, Finance & Treasurer and the CAO 10.04 (c) An award over $50,000 is subject to the additional approval of Council. 2 f) An award over $125,000 is subject to the additional approval of Council These higher dollar limit thresholds are currently adopted by the Town of Ajax and there are higher dollar limits for the remaining Durham Lakeshore municipalities. The benefits of adopting these changes are: • Shorter time to award results in more competitive bids, better pricing and cost certainty; • Suppliers prefer to hold prices for 30 days in contrast to longer period of time where they may experience challenges holding price in this current tariff environment; • Contracts awarded within 2 to 30 days instead of 30 to 90 days expedites the project and the work can start sooner; and • These higher dollar limits have the potential to save staff time. The introduction of the new exception to Purchasing Policy Exceptions list (Attachment 2), is being added to address the possibility of requiring the purchasing flexibility to have the required equipment for the election cycle so that the election itself can proceed without any delays. It is staff’s understanding that the other Durham Lakeshore municipalities have already added similar language to their respective purchasing policies. The increase in the insurance policy dollar limit for alcohol related events with over 5,000 participants may encourage organizers to implement stricter security and alcohol-monitoring protocols to lower their risk profiles (Attachment 4). The higher dollar limit protects the - 228 - FIN 06-26 May 25, 2026 Page 4 municipal taxpayer from possible higher future property tax increases if there was a negative event resulting in higher premium costs and protects the City’s cash reserves.

The Act requires permit fees to be accounted for and not used to subsidize City functions other than the administration and enforcement of the Act and the Ontario Building Code. The purpose of the Building Permit Stabilization Reserve Fund is to provide a source of funds for current operating budget costs during an economic downturn to offset lower building permit revenues. Without such a reserve fund, reduced growth and permit volumes during a downturn could result in severe budgetary pressures which could impair the City’s ability to enforce the Act and the Ontario Building Code. The Act requires that an annual report be prepared that includes the total Building Permit fees collected in the previous 12-month period and a summary of directly and indirectly related administrative costs. As approved by Council (Resolution #665/25), Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. was retained to undertake a review of the development application process encompassing their planning, building permit, and engineering fees. The ultimate objective of the fee review project was to develop user fee structures to recover a reasonable share of the cost of services provided to the public and to provide financial stability for the delivery of these services (including the evaluation of building permit reserve fund levels for the sustainable administration and enforcement of the Act). Subsequent to Council’s direction, Watson & Associates completed the review and provided recommendations intended to improve cost recovery and align the City’s fee structure with applicable legislative requirements and industry best practices. As part of the review, it was recommended that the allocation of indirect costs recoverable through development-related fees increase from 17% to 21% on a go-forward basis. The recommended adjustment is intended to improve cost recovery and help reduce reliance on the municipal tax base in funding development review services. Building permit revenues are inherently sensitive to economic conditions and development cycles, whereas staffing and regulatory obligations under the Act remain relatively fixed. Accordingly, reserve balances are intended to provide financial continuity through cyclical fluctuations in permit activity. The City’s current reserve balance continues to support this objective and broader long-term financial sustainability goals. The Building Permit Stabilization Reserve Fund has a 2025 year-end balance of $5,802,335 which can be used as a possible funding source for future Building Services operating and capital budget costs in the event of slower growth to offset lower building permit fee revenues. - 294 - FIN 07-26 May 25, 2026 Page 3 Annual Report – Building Permit Fees for the year ended December 31, 2025 Building Permit Revenue $4,754,067 Costs: Direct Costs (3,801,837) Indirect Costs (646,312) (4,448,149) Excess/(Shortfall) revenue Over Costs $305,918 Building Permit Stabilization Reserve Fund Opening Balance, January 1, 2025 $5,312,868 Add: 2025 Contribution 305,918 Add: 2025 Interest Income 265,069 Less: Development Applications Approval Process update (81,520) Closing Balance, December 31, 2025 $5,802,335 Attachment: None Prepared By: Raghu Kumar, Senior Financial Analyst, Development Charges & Capital Management Approved/Endorsed By: James Halsall, Division Head, Finance Approved/Endorsed By: Stan Karwowski, Director, Finance & Treasurer SK:rk Recommended for the consideration of Pickering City Council By: Marisa Carpino, M.A. Chief Administrative Officer - 295 - Report to Council Report Number: LEG 05-26 Date: May 25, 2026 From: Paul Bigioni Director, Corporate Services & City Solicitor Subject: Carousel Green Stop-up and Close portions of William Jackson Drive Part Lot 18, Concession 3, being Parts 1 to 27, Plan 40R-33051 City Acquisition of Lands from the Region of Durham Part Lot 18, Concession 3, being Parts 1 to 7, Plan 40R-33048 and Parts 29 to 33, Plan 40R- 33051; City Disposal of Land to the Region of Durham Part Lot 18, Concession 3, being Part 1, Plan 40R-33051 File: L-4610-009-13 Recommendation: 1.

That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the actions necessary to implement the recommendations in this report. 1.0 Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to seek Council approval for the By-law, transfers and easements necessary to create a new park space in Duffin Heights. The new park will be called Carousel Green. To assemble the lands needed for Carousel Green it will be necessary to: (a) enact a By-law stopping-up and closing a portion of William Jackson Drive, (b) acquire lands from the Region of Durham south of William Jackson Drive, (c) transfer to the Region adjacent lands to be added to Brock Road, and (d) grant utilities easements to Elexicon Energy, Enbridge Gas, Region of Durham and Bell Canada. 2.0 Relationship to the Pickering Strategic Plan: The recommendations in this report respond to the Pickering Strategic Plan Priority of: Advance Innovation & Responsible Planning to Support a Connected, Well-Serviced Community. 3.0 Financial Implications: There are no financial implications. The subject lands are being conveyed for nominal consideration. 4.0 Discussion: The purpose of this report is to seek Council approval for the By-law, transfers and easements necessary to create a new park space in Duffin Heights. The new park will be called Carousel Green. Carousel Green is shown on Attachment 1. The existence of four City village greens (two on the east side of Brock Road and two on the west side of Brock Road) was identified in the revised Duffin Heights Development Guidelines, adopted by City Council on May 19, 2009. The exact locations of these Village Greens were to be confirmed through future development applications. On January 18, 2010, Council passed Resolution #09/10 which endorsed Staff Report #01-10 (dated January 4, 2010) providing for the development of draft plan of subdivision SP-2008-08, registered as Plan 40M-2479 with the location of a village green on the most westerly leg of William Jackson Drive. That is where Carousel Green will be constructed. A title search has revealed that Parts 1 to 7, Plan 40R-33048 and Parts 29 to 33, Plan 40R- 33051 are owned by the Region of Durham. These lands are required for Carousel Green. On - 297 - LEG 05-26 May 25, 2026 Page 3 February 25, 2026, Regional Council accepted Report #2026-W-3 and authorized the conveyance to the City of Parts 1 to 7, Plan 40-33048 and Parts 29 to 33, Plan 40R-33051, for nominal consideration, subject to any required easements and subject to the acquisition by the Region of Part 1, Plan 40R-33051 for nominal consideration. The lands being transferred from the Region of Durham to the City are outlined in blue on Attachment 2. A portion of William Jackson Drive, described as Part 1, Plan 40R-33051 is owned by the City, however, it lies within the Brock Road corridor. As Brock Road is a regional road, Part 1, Plan 40R-33051 should be transferred to the Region for nominal consideration in exchange for the Region’s transfer to the City of the lands required to complete Carousel Green. The lands being transferred to the Region of Durham are outlined in orange on Attachment 2. Before the transfers of land can be completed, a portion of William Jackson Drive, being Parts 1 to 27, Plan 40R-33051, must be stopped-up and closed as public highway. The By-law stopping up and closing a portion of William Jackson Drive is Attachment 3, and the lands to which the By-law applies are outlined in green on Attachment 4. As development progressed in Duffin Heights, hydro, telephone, natural gas and sewer lines were constructed to service the community. These lines cross Carousel Green. To recognize this existing infrastructure, it is necessary to grant and register easements in favour of Elexicon Energy, Bell Canada, Enbridge and the Region of Durham. These easements are shown in Attachments 5-8. Attachments: 1. Carousel Green Concept Site Plan 2. Map of lands to be transferred to and from the Region of Durham 3. Stop Up and Close By-law 4.

The proposed fee changes are based on the findings of the comprehensive Development Application Approval Process (DAAP) Fee Review of City Development (Building and Planning) and Engineering Services (Development Services) fees and are intended to ensure that the cost of delivering these services is fully recovered. The revised fees are proposed to come into effect on July 1, 2026. Notes: On May 4, 2026, the Executive Committee endorsed the results of the DAAP Fee Review, approved staff’s recommendation to adopt the revised fees and directed that the By- law be finalized and forwarded to Council for enactment. In accordance with standard invoicing practices, and to provide clarity, certain fee amounts have been rounded to the nearest dollar where appropriate. In addition, further clarifications have been included in the Fee By-law to support interpretation and application of fee calculation. The Consultant provided revised fee schedules reflecting the rounded amounts, and City staff worked with appropriate departments to verify the accuracy of the proposed fees. All parties have reviewed the revised fee by-law and are satisfied with their content. - 307 - Attachment 1 DAAP User Fee By-law - 308 - The Corporation of the City of Pickering By-law No. 8264/26 Being a by-law to amend By-law No. 6191/03 to confirm General Municipal Fees Whereas the Council of The Corporation of the City of Pickering enacted By-law 6191/03, as amended, on October 14, 2003 to confirm general municipal fees.

Mark Joblin Alexandra Whyte DECISION DELIVERED BY W. DANIEL BEST AND ORDER OF THE TRIBUNAL Link to Order INTRODUCTION [1]The Tribunal convened a Merit Hearing to consider a settlement regarding an appeal brought forward for the above-noted matter. The Applicant appealed under ss. 22(7) and 34(11) of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13, as amended (“Act”), against the failure of the City to make decisions on Applications for an Official Plan Amendment (“OPA”) and a Zoning By-law Amendment (“ZBA”) concerning the property municipally known as 720 Granite Court in the City (the “Subject Property”). [2]The Subject Property is located at the northwest corner of Whites Road South and Granite Court, to the south of Highway No. 401 and within the Westshore Neighbourhood of the City. [3]The Subject Property is triangular in shape with an approximate area of 1.19 hectares (“ha”). The Subject Property has a frontage of approximately 169 metres (“m”) along Whites Road South and a frontage of approximately 98 m along Granite Court. [4]The lands surrounding the Subject Property consists of the following: - 335 - 3 OLT-25-000509 •To the north is the Metrolinx Rail Corridor, beyond which is Highway No. 401 and employment/industrial lands. •To the east are a Regional Right-of-Way (“ROW”), commercial properties, and detached dwellings north of the commercial properties. •To the south are residential neighbourhoods, parks, schools, and other institutional uses. •To the west is the Metrolinx Rail Corridor, Highway No. 401, and employment/industrial lands beyond which are further residential areas. [5]The Subject Property is well-served by transit services including Durham Region Transit bus routes and GO Transit bus routes. These routes provide inter- and intra- Regional and Municipal connections, with connections to various local and regional terminals and other significant places of interest. [6]The Applicant originally proposed a residential development comprising 262 units within a twelve-storey apartment building. [7]The Settlement Proposal consists of a development of the Subject Property with a nine-storey apartment building, comprised of 252 units. The dwelling units in the proposed apartment building are proposed as follows: •6 Bachelor Units •191 One Bedroom Units •43 Two Bedroom Units •12 Three Bedroom Units - 336 - 4 OLT-25-000509 LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK [8] When considering an appeal of an application to amend an OPA filed pursuant to s. 22 of the Act and an application to amend a ZBA filed pursuant to s. 34 of the Act, the Tribunal must have regard to matters of Provincial interest as set out in s. 2 of the Act and to the Decision of the City Council, and the information it considered by it pursuant to s. 2.1(1) of the Act. [9] Section 3(5) of the Act requires that decisions of the Tribunal affecting planning matters be consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement, 2024 (“PPS”). [10] The Tribunal must also be satisfied the ZBA conforms with the Official Plans in effect. [11] Overall, the Tribunal must be satisfied the OPA, ZBA, and Conditions represent good planning and are in the public interest. SUBMISSIONS AND EVIDENCE [12] In support of the proposed settlement, the following Exhibits were filed: • Exhibit 1: Affidavit of Adam Layton received April 7, 2026. • Exhibit 2: Affidavit of William Maria received April 7, 2026. • Exhibit 3: Settlement Materials and Document Book received April 7, 2026. [13] Mr. Layton is a registered planner and Associate Principal of a land-use planning consulting firm. Based on his experience and expertise outlined in his curriculum vitae, the Tribunal qualified him to provide opinion evidence as an expert in land-use planning. - 337 - 5 OLT-25-000509 [14] Mr. Maria is a professional engineer and Transportation Planning Lead of an engineering, architecture, and construction services consulting firm. Based on his experience and expertise outlined in his curriculum vitae, the Tribunal qualified him to provide opinion evidence as an expert in transportation planning and traffic engineering. [15] Mr. Maria’s opinion evidence concluded that the proposed development can be accommodated by the existing and planned transportation network. [16] Mr. Layton adopted and relied on Mr. Maria’s opinion evidence on transportation planning and traffic engineering matters, including traffic generation, access and circulation, intersection operations and queuing, and road safety considerations related to access design and operations. [17] Mr. Layton stated the proposed development has appropriate regard to matters of Provincial interest. Mr. Layton highlighted that the Subject Property: • Is an appropriate location for growth and development. • Is a sufficient size that will result in open spaces, landscaping opportunities and amenity spaces. • That the proposed development represents an orderly development and a compact built form contributing to the diversity of stock of housing within the community. The proposed development includes dwelling units in various configurations, expanding options available to existing and future residents. • Makes effective use of existing municipal infrastructure to provide adequate capacity for servicing; will achieve required water balance targets through stormwater management measures. - 338 - 6 OLT-25-000509 • That the built form is well designed and includes a pedestrian oriented streetscape that is accessible, attractive, and increases connectivity that will result in improvements to the public realm through the installation of new sidewalks along Whites Road, as well as the widening of existing sidewalks along Granite Court, and the planting of new street trees along Whites Road. New streetscape elements, such as lighting, paving, furniture, and signage, will be incorporated to contribute to the character of the area. • Is a transit supportive built form which transitions to the adjacent community, maintains appropriate setbacks, and is compatible with the adjacent residential and industrial uses. [18] Mr. Layton advised the proposed development is consistent with the PPS as the Subject Property is in a strategic growth area (“SGA”) and a designated growth area (“DGA”). The proposed development represents a compact built form that optimizes use of urban lands with existing municipal services, is transit supportive, pedestrian-friendly, and provides a mix of housing options that is affordable in comparison to other ground- related housing options.

He continued the Subject Property is located in close proximity to employment and other residential uses, makes use of vacant lands and will facilitate local economic and social interaction between people due to its close proximity with other land uses, and will increase the diversity and density of land uses and activities in Mixed Use, Urban Areas. [22] Mr. Layton stated the site-specific zoning provisions are appropriate, the site layout retains overall site functionality, efficient arrangement for parking and servicing, and is supported by existing municipal infrastructure. [23] Both Mr. Layton and Mr. Maria adequately addressed the concerns identified by the Participants related to pedestrian safety, quality of life, traffic congestion, planning process, emergency planning, surrounding development activity, history of the Subject Property, community character, and construction management.

Mark Joblin Alexandra Whyte DECISION DELIVERED BY W. DANIEL BEST AND ORDER OF THE TRIBUNAL Link to Order INTRODUCTION [1] The Tribunal convened a Merit Hearing to consider a settlement regarding an appeal brought forward for the above-noted matter. The Applicant appealed under ss. 22(7) and 34(11) of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13, as amended (“Act”), against the failure of the City to make decisions on Applications for an Official Plan Amendment (“OPA”) and a Zoning By-law Amendment (“ZBA”) concerning the property municipally known as 720 Granite Court in the City (the “Subject Property”). [2] The Subject Property is located at the northwest corner of Whites Road South and Granite Court, to the south of Highway No. 401 and within the Westshore Neighbourhood of the City. [3] The Subject Property is triangular in shape with an approximate area of 1.19 hectares (“ha”). The Subject Property has a frontage of approximately 169 metres (“m”) along Whites Road South and a frontage of approximately 98 m along Granite Court. [4] The lands surrounding the Subject Property consists of the following: - 356 - 3 OLT-25-000509 • To the north is the Metrolinx Rail Corridor, beyond which is Highway No. 401 and employment/industrial lands. • To the east are a Regional Right-of-Way (“ROW”), commercial properties, and detached dwellings north of the commercial properties. • To the south are residential neighbourhoods, parks, schools, and other institutional uses. • To the west is the Metrolinx Rail Corridor, Highway No. 401, and employment/industrial lands beyond which are further residential areas. [5] The Subject Property is well-served by transit services including Durham Region Transit bus routes and GO Transit bus routes. These routes provide inter- and intra- Regional and Municipal connections, with connections to various local and regional terminals and other significant places of interest. [6] The Applicant originally proposed a residential development comprising 262 units within a twelve-storey apartment building. [7] The Settlement Proposal consists of a development of the Subject Property with a nine-storey apartment building, comprised of 252 units. The dwelling units in the proposed apartment building are proposed as follows: • 6 Bachelor Units • 191 One Bedroom Units • 43 Two Bedroom Units • 12 Three Bedroom Units - 357 - 4 OLT-25-000509 LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK [8] When considering an appeal of an application to amend an OPA filed pursuant to s. 22 of the Act and an application to amend a ZBA filed pursuant to s. 34 of the Act, the Tribunal must have regard to matters of Provincial interest as set out in s. 2 of the Act and to the Decision of the City Council, and the information it considered by it pursuant to s. 2.1(1) of the Act. [9] Section 3(5) of the Act requires that decisions of the Tribunal affecting planning matters be consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement, 2024 (“PPS”). [10] The Tribunal must also be satisfied the ZBA conforms with the Official Plans in effect. [11] Overall, the Tribunal must be satisfied the OPA, ZBA, and Conditions represent good planning and are in the public interest. SUBMISSIONS AND EVIDENCE [12] In support of the proposed settlement, the following Exhibits were filed: • Exhibit 1: Affidavit of Adam Layton received April 7, 2026. • Exhibit 2: Affidavit of William Maria received April 7, 2026. • Exhibit 3: Settlement Materials and Document Book received April 7, 2026. [13] Mr. Layton is a registered planner and Associate Principal of a land-use planning consulting firm. Based on his experience and expertise outlined in his curriculum vitae, the Tribunal qualified him to provide opinion evidence as an expert in land-use planning. - 358 - 5 OLT-25-000509 [14] Mr. Maria is a professional engineer and Transportation Planning Lead of an engineering, architecture, and construction services consulting firm. Based on his experience and expertise outlined in his curriculum vitae, the Tribunal qualified him to provide opinion evidence as an expert in transportation planning and traffic engineering. [15] Mr. Maria’s opinion evidence concluded that the proposed development can be accommodated by the existing and planned transportation network. [16] Mr. Layton adopted and relied on Mr. Maria’s opinion evidence on transportation planning and traffic engineering matters, including traffic generation, access and circulation, intersection operations and queuing, and road safety considerations related to access design and operations. [17] Mr. Layton stated the proposed development has appropriate regard to matters of Provincial interest. Mr. Layton highlighted that the Subject Property: • Is an appropriate location for growth and development. • Is a sufficient size that will result in open spaces, landscaping opportunities and amenity spaces. • That the proposed development represents an orderly development and a compact built form contributing to the diversity of stock of housing within the community. The proposed development includes dwelling units in various configurations, expanding options available to existing and future residents. • Makes effective use of existing municipal infrastructure to provide adequate capacity for servicing; will achieve required water balance targets through stormwater management measures. - 359 - 6 OLT-25-000509 • That the built form is well designed and includes a pedestrian oriented streetscape that is accessible, attractive, and increases connectivity that will result in improvements to the public realm through the installation of new sidewalks along Whites Road, as well as the widening of existing sidewalks along Granite Court, and the planting of new street trees along Whites Road. New streetscape elements, such as lighting, paving, furniture, and signage, will be incorporated to contribute to the character of the area. • Is a transit supportive built form which transitions to the adjacent community, maintains appropriate setbacks, and is compatible with the adjacent residential and industrial uses. [18] Mr. Layton advised the proposed development is consistent with the PPS as the Subject Property is in a strategic growth area (“SGA”) and a designated growth area (“DGA”). The proposed development represents a compact built form that optimizes use of urban lands with existing municipal services, is transit supportive, pedestrian-friendly, and provides a mix of housing options that is affordable in comparison to other ground- related housing options. [19] As a result of the More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 (“Bill 23”) planning responsibilities were removed the Region of Durham on January 1, 2025. Accordingly, the Durham Region Official Plan (“DROP”) has become part of the City Official Plan (“COP”).
