Growth and infrastructure are synonymous. As Pickering grows, so too should our recreation spaces, access to services and cultural development. We need a vision that includes less commuting, less gridlock, more sustainable growth with thoughtful density and consciousness to do the right things for the next generation. Our infrastructure needs to keep pace with all new development.
