Seaton is a section of north Pickering in Ontario, Canada. Seaton includes the communities of Cherrywood, Green River, and Whitevale, as well as the southern edge of Brougham. It was devised community by the provincial government dating to the 1970s.[1]
Politics
The lands in North Pickering, especially Seaton, have received much attention from local residents and environmentalists. It was a prominent component of the North Pickering Land Exchange of November 2003 enacted by the Liberal provincial government,[2] in which developers received land in Seaton in exchange for lands owned by those developers on the Oak Ridges Moraine, primarily in Richmond Hill and Uxbridge. Development of the area is set to begin in 2014, following the conclusion of hearings at the Ontario Municipal Board.[3]
