Help name the Region’s new long-term care home in the City of Pickering

Whitby, Ontario – The Region of Durham is building a new long-term care home in the City of Pickering, with support from the Province of Ontario.

This 200-bed home will be in the beautiful Seaton community, which is located between Brock Road and Whites Road in Pickering. Projected to open in fall 2026, it will offer common spaces (a bank, store, hair salon, worship centre and fitness area); a main space for resident social interactions; and a dementia-friendly design.

To help capture the spirit of Seaton, we’re inviting community members to weigh in to help shape the future of their community. Residents and community members will have an opportunity to vote on names brought forward, by local community members, during a recent information session. 

Your input is important in helping shape the future of this new long-term care home and the Seaton community. All feedback will be reviewed and taken into consideration.

How: Vote online at Your Durham until July 29, 2024.

Why: Residents have valuable insight; and should have a chance to help shape the future of their communities. Their input will help support the growth and development within one of Durham Region’s rapidly growing communities. A future that is more vibrant, sustainable and lively for everyone.
