Pickering’s youth and seniors should not have to leave Pickering to engage in sports or social activities. The City should collaborate with public and separate school boards to improve shared use of facilities such as gymnasiums, playing fields, and instructional spaces. Maximising the use of existing publicly funded infrastructure will reduce taxpayers' future costs for unnecessary capital infrastructure while expanding opportunities for youth.
