Pickering at a Glance
Not many places in Canada can claim
to be the home of a national icon, however Pickering boasts the honour. The
hometown of the beloved children's entertainer Ernest Coombs, better known as
Mr. Dress-Up, Pickering is a popular destination only 34 km (22 mi) east of
Toronto on Highway 401. Located
on the north shore of Lake
Ontario, Pickering has a population of about 94,000 and is known as a place
for travellers looking to enjoy waterfront activities, like water skiing, swimming
and boating. But for people along the lake looking to stay dry, the Pickering
Waterfront Trail is over 650 km (404 mi) long and offers activities to enjoy
such as roller blading, biking or jogging. For history buffs, visiting the Pickering
Museum Village is a perfect way to spend the day. Displaying a variety of
artifacts, the museum is actually a series of colonial-period homes preserved
as a working historic village. Summer visitors can enjoy free outdoor concerts
every Thursday night at 7pm in July and August as part of the Waterfront
Concert series.
