Project Updates

The Sustainable Pickering journey began in September 2005 after City Council adopted a resolution establishing a “Benchmarking Committee” made up of municipal politicians and senior staff. That Committee was asked to establish “benchmarking standards for sustainability” for all new development in Pickering through a consultative process with broad representation from the community.

Shortly after work progressed, the Committee realized that the benchmarking exercise could only be undertaken as part of a much broader City-wide “sustainability” effort. Council concurred and in November 2006 the City launched a comprehensive program that came to be known as the Sustainable Pickering journey.

In early 2007, the Benchmarking Committee was reconstituted as the Sustainable Pickering Advisory Committee. The mandate of the Committee is to provide overall leadership, direction and advice to Council and staff on the Sustainable Pickering journey.
