Recreation Pickering

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the first-ever Duffins Creek Festival at Dorsay Community & Heritage Centre this weekend! ☀️

We had the pleasure of welcoming incredible vendors, partners, performers, and of course, hosting our first rubber duck race. It was a fantastic day filled with fun activities, great entertainment, and plenty of sunshine.

Here are some highlights from yesterday! We can't wait to do it all over again next year.

🌿 Help Shape Public Art in Pickering! 🎨
In March 2026, the City of Pickering launched a Call to Artists to design a permanent public artwork for the west garden at the Dorsay Community & Heritage Centre.

This vibrant outdoor space, seen daily by residents and visitors, is being reimagined with creative concepts that aim to:
✨ Create shaded gathering spaces
✨ Transform the garden into a welcoming and meaningful place
✨ Encourage interaction, exploration, and community connection
✨ Incorporate sensory elements like light, sound, texture, or movement
✨ Go beyond traditional sculpture with immersive and site-responsive designs

Now we need your voice to help select the vision that will bring this space to life!
