Waterfront committee hears updates as council prepares for integrity report and Seaton land-use vote
Pickering’s Waterfront Visionary Advisory Committee received four staff presentations at its June 29 meeting but took no substantive votes on any projects. All items were accepted for information only, leaving formal waterfront decisions for a future date.
The advisory committee approved its June 29 agenda and the minutes of its April 15 meeting before reviewing presentations on the Ontario Power Generation nuclear refurbishment project, a waterfront tree canopy study, shoreline stabilization progress, and Phase 2 of the Beachfront Park revitalization. The meeting then adjourned with no further motions.
Council schedules decision on integrity report and major Seaton land amendment
Pickering City Council’s June 22 meeting included several high‑profile items on the agenda, though official minutes had not been published by the end of the reporting period, meaning final outcomes remain unconfirmed.
Among the agenda items was a report from the Integrity Commissioner regarding Councillor Robinson, centered on statements about staff corruption and residential schools. The council was also slated to vote on Official Plan Amendment OPA 25-004P, which would enable development for Seaton TFPM Inc. near Brock Road and Highway 407. While advocates and opponents await the outcome, no decision has been publicly recorded.
If approved, the following administrative items would move forward:
- A $396,630 contract for asphalt resurfacing at Fire Station #2, awarded to D. Crupi & Sons Limited
- New parking and stopping restrictions on Azalea Avenue, Canso Drive, Earl Grey Avenue, and Twyn Rivers Drive
- A five-year license agreement for the Pickering Islamic Centre to use 10 overflow parking spaces at Brock Ridge Community Park
Closed‑door talks on Northeast Pickering plan appeals
Also on June 22, the council met in an in‑camera session to discuss legal strategy regarding appeals of the Northeast Pickering Secondary Plan (Official Plan Amendment 54). The discussion, authorized under the Municipal Act, centred on litigation, solicitor‑client privilege, and negotiation strategy. None of the material has been made public.

The Heritage Pickering Advisory Committee met June 24 to consider a memorandum proposing amendments to the designating by‑laws for the Altona Meeting House at 5475 Sideline 30. Minutes have not yet been released, so whether the committee endorsed the change remains unclear.
