WE REMEMBER OUR FRIEND AND COLLEAGUE, IAN CUMMING

City Councillor, Ward 1

Community health and safety goes hand in hand. Whether its the largest Neighbourhood Watch Program in South Rosebank or the introduction of Pickering’s first permanent Speed Board that was a partnership with the Fairport Beach Neighbourhood Association. By engaging residents, we have established designated community Safety Zones abutting schools and or designated parks which will use rotating mobile speed boards along with Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE). Our goal is to keep our streets and communities safe and with your continued support we will.

IN MEMORIAM

The Chestnut Hill Developments Recreation Complex (CHDRC) is under active construction. We have seen the behind-the-scenes work and the progress is exciting. The building is about 40 years old and although there have been updates over the years it really needed a renovation. Following a concept design and extensive community engagement, the City began the phased construction. The work should substantively be completed and the recreation centre re-opened in February 2022.

We remember our dear friend and colleague, Ian Cumming

On November 1, 2021, the City of Pickering lost a respected colleague and a good friend to many in our organization, the community, and beyond. Ian was a strong community advocate for his ward and the waterfront community, and equally passionate about Pickering’s evolution from a bedroom community to a sustainable city. He was also a renowned animal lover and could often be seen out in the community walking his beloved dogs.

Ian, you will be missed and will remain in our thoughts.
