Brock Industrial Neighbourhood

The Brock Industrial Neighbourhood is bounded by the hydro transmission corridor to the west, Highway 401 to the north, the Ajax-Pickering municipal boundary to the east, and the Lake Ontario shoreline to the south. The total area of the neighbourhood is 7.85 square kilometres, and includes significant open space lands associated with the Duffins Creek and the Ontario Lake shoreline, and a waterfront trail.

Historically, an Iroquois village existed near the mouth of the

Duffins Creek. Although the 1991 census year recorded a

residential population of 130 people, the residential population

continued to decline with the majority displaced for expansion of

the Duffins Creek Water Pollution Control Plant. Consequently, no

population has been recorded for the neighbourhood in the 2011

Census year. The few detached dwellings remaining along Bayly

Street have been converted into business offices.

Industrial development in this area commenced in the 1960’s,

coincident with the construction of the Pickering Nuclear

Generating Station. Today, Brock Industrial is the City’s main

industrial district. It accommodates both the Pickering Nuclear

Generating Station and the Duffins Creek Water Pollution Control

Plant, and boasts over 808, 000 square metres of industrial floor

space dedicated to manufacturing uses, warehousing, research

and development, offices and supportive personal service and

retail uses. Brock Industrial is also home to four places of worship,

an indoor skating arena on Dillingham Road, and an indoor soccer

dome on Clements Road.

This brochure provides information on the Brock Industrial

Neighbourhood population and social characteristics, derived

from census data by Statistics Canada. Statistics Canada

completes a census of the Canadian population every five

years. This brochure will be updated and/or revised as new

census data becomes available.

The 1991 Census Long Form questionnaire and the 2011

National Household Survey are based on sample surveys of the

population. The 1991 Census Long Form questionnaire was

mandatory while the 2011 National Household Survey was

voluntary. Due to this change in methodology, the 2011 data

may be subject to underreporting or response bias. In certain

instances where survey responses are limited, data may be

suppressed resulting in the data not being published.
