      History

      The North Pickering Development Corporation was created in January 1975 as a Crown Corporation. It replaced the former North Pickering Project, which had initiated the planning and development of the community of Seaton north of Pickering, Ontario.

      The corporation ceased to exist on May 1, 1979, when the Board members tendered their resignations. Responsibility for planning and development within the North Pickering Project fell to the already existing Ontario Land Corporation. However, most administrative functions of the Ontario Land Corporation were carried out by the Land Development Wing of the Ministry of Housing. Within this wing, planning for North Pickering was assumed by a new branch, called the Seaton Community and Eastern Region Branch.
