In Ajax, a visit to Pickering Village will make the effort enjoyable for even the most reluctant shopper. This historic district dates to the early 1800’s, when it was a Quaker settlement. It is now home to restaurants, shops, professional services, as well as the St. Francis Centre, a restored church that now acts as a arts and culture centre and provides live entertainment.
Oshawa Centre, in Oshawa, has over 230 stores and services all under one roof, and is the largest shopping centre in Durham Region. Enjoy national franchises as well as specialty shops, a GoodLife Fitness Centre, a seasonal farmers market, and a meal at the food court or at one of several restaurants.
