The new centre, situated in Pickering, Ontario, will be known as the Pickering Casino Resort.

Of course the Pickering Casino Resort, once established would face some tough competition in the already bustling Canadian gambling industry. The competition would come from offline and online casinos. A huge portion of the gambling industry market share has already been taken up by competitors such as Spin Palace Casino.

The resort hopes to offer exceptional services to those who enjoylive entertainment, stimulating gaming options and assorted dining experiences.

'While we have so much more to develop and construct, being able to share the brand name of the resort with the community is an exciting next step for us,' said Tyrone Waite, General Manager, Pickering Casino Resort, quoted on Newswire.

Initially, Great Canadian had scheduled to open the Casino towards the end of 2019; however, after a few unavoidable adjustments were made to the construction process, the grand opening got shifted to 2020. As at date, the first phase of the construction is officially over.

The construction project, which commenced the last year 2018, is supposed to be finished in two phases. The first phase is scheduled to be completed and opened in 2020 and is expected to feature a variety of dining and gaming options. The second phase of the project is expected to capture all entertainment amenities and hotel offerings. At the completion of the project, the development hopes to hire more than 2,000 people to join the casino resort's team, this would provide a much-needed boost to the local job economy and a good number of locals would benefit from this.

'We will now be concentrating on hosting career fairs and seeking local talent to join our team. We are looking for people who have exceptional guest service skills and are willing to learn and grow with the company. We have great training programs that will equip our team members with the right skill set and set them up for future success,' said Waite.

According to Waite, the focus when making appointments will be kept as local as possible. Once employees are hired, they would be expected to undergo rigorous and specialized training apprenticeship program to fully prepare themfor the employment of the operator.

Study Update - July 2019

Public Information Session #2 was held on Tuesday, December 11, 2018 from 6 pm – 8 pm at Pickering City Hall

Public Information Session #1 was held on Tuesday, July 10, 2018 from 6-8 pm at Pickering City Hall

Background

The City of Pickering Official Plan, Edition 7 (2017), the Town of Ajax Official Plan (2016), the Region of Durham Official Plan (2017), and the Region of Durham Transportation Master Plan (2017) have identified the need for a new Highway 401 road crossing to link Notion Road with Squires Beach Road as a means of providing additional north-south capacity and neighbourhood connectivity.

Highway 401 is an important transportation corridor supporting the function and growth of the City of Pickering but it is a physical barrier to north-south movement, which affects the road networks, transit efficiency as well as the growth and economic vitality of the area. With continued growth, this road crossing will offer the City of Pickering additional north-south capacity to move people, goods and services through existing and planned future neighbourhoods.

Study Process

This Study is intended to improve network connectivity for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists resulting from continued growth in the City of Pickering and bring relief to the existing road infrastructure. The Study also supports the preparation for development of lands located south of Highway 401 and the rail corridor, west of Church Street South, East of a Canadian National Railway spur line, and north of Bayly Street.

This Study is being conducted in accordance with the four phase planning and design process for Schedule ‘C’ projects, as outlined in the Municipal Class EA process (Municipal Engineers Association, October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015), which is approved under the Environmental Assessment Act (R.S.O. 1990, c. E.18). Phase 1 of the Study will define the problem or opportunity, Phase 2 will identify and evaluate alternative solutions to the problem or opportunity, Phase 3 will evaluate alternative design concepts for the preferred solution and recommend a preferred design concept for the new road crossing, and Phase 4 will include the completion of an Environmental Study Report (ESR) for public and agency review.
