The City of Pickering is undertaking the launch of an Annual Community Banner Program, celebrating the culture, heritage, and beauty in our City Centre. The City of Pickering invites Canadian artists of all ages, to submit artwork to be reproduced on a banner and hung for a period of one year. Submissions may be a single or multi-media, and speak to the theme: Live, Work, Play, Inspire.
A total of 24 Community banners have been selected through the open call for art. Selected artwork will be professionally reproduced, double-sided on single banner; and returned to the artist. Banners will be installed throughout City Centre (Esplanade North, Esplanade South, Valley Farm Road, Glenanna Road, Kingston Road) in early December 2019.
Our Wexford Gleeks performed with Rufus Wainwright on September 25, 2019 at Koerner Hall in a special evening honouring General Romeo Dallaire.
The Adrienne Clarkson Prize for Global Citizenship is awarded annually to a leader whose life work has demonstrated a steadfast commitment to the ideals of belonging and inclusion. Through words, actions and results, recipients encourage thought, dialogue, approaches, and strategies that strive to remove barriers, change attitudes, and reinforce the principles of tolerance and respect.
The 2019 laureate is Lieutenant-General (ret) The Honourable Roméo A. Dallaire. General Dallaire is best known for serving as Force Commander of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda prior to and during the 1994 genocide.
6 Degrees Toronto is a project of the Institute for Canadian Citizenship.

Wexford Performing Arts had the privilege of hosting Canadian Dance icon Ms Peggy Baker and some of her dancers on October 1, 2019.
The dancers performed three excerpts of larger works with Ms Baker explaining her career and growth as a dance artist, the process she undertakes when creating her dances and her connection to music she used.
The students also had the opportunity to ask questions to Peggy and the dancers which gave them even greater insight into the dedication, determination and passion required to be a young working artist.
It was a day we will not forget.
