The GTA is moving ever closer to getting its own 'premier casino resort' in the form of Durham Live – a 1.1 million-square-foot dining, hotel, retail, entertainment, sports and casino complex connected directly to the Go Train.
Ontario Gaming GTA LP (OGGLP) announced yesterday in a press release that DLive, as it has been dubbed, is now proceeding toward the municipal permitting stage for a site near Highway 401 in Pickering, Ontario.
Pickering Casino Resort is preparing for its official launch projected to happen this April. As it was recently confirmed by Great Canadian Gaming Corporation, construction work in Pickering is progressing according to the initially issued schedule and the integrated resort is about to be finished on time.

No estimated start date for the project has been released at this time, but when the whole shebang is finished we can expect everything from an film studios and amphitheatres to an indoor waterpark and 150,000 square feet of luxury retail shopping space.

The complex will boast four different dining districts, according to its website, and a 'casino district' with over 330,000 sq.ft. of gaming space and a grand fountain.
It is also promised to create more than 10,000 jobs, 'particularly for young people graduating from college and university who wish to remain in the area.'
This rendering shows some of the restaurants and other buildings in the development beyond the casino.
OGGLP, which is behind this and several other casino projects, is a partnership between the Great Canadian Gaming Corporation and Toronto's own Brookfield Business Partners.

The group was selected in August by the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation to operate three gaming facilities in the Greater Toronto Area: Casino Woodbine, Casino Ajax, and Great Blue Heron Casino.
The building housing the casino is the main focal point of the area.
'As part of the significantly expanded gaming and entertainment options under development as part of Durham Live, Casino Ajax will relocate when the casino resort at Durham Live is operational in late 2019.'
This looks incredible!
When you think of major entertainment centres in the Greater Toronto Area your mind doesn't exactly jump to Pickering. Like the zoo is kind of close to Pickering but that doesn't exactly count as an entertainment centre.

But it looks like that will all be changing. Which is good news for anyone who is looking for something to do on the weekend, and anyone who will be needing a job in the coming years.
That's because Pickering is in the process of getting a casino, waterpark, and hotel all rolled into one. Yes,all those things will be in one place apparently.
The complex would apparently create OVER 10,000 JOBS! Over 2,000 of those people would be working in the casino itself.
There isn’t any set date for when this would open (which is unfortunate because it sounds quite simply amazing) Durham Live is in the process of getting all its permits in order before beginning construction on the complex.

But once open it would give people in the GTA a new casino option that’s a lot closer than driving to Barrie or Niagara Falls.
The city of Toronto itself has turned down the idea of building a casino downtown many times in the past.
But if Durham Live get everything sorted out with their permits then we could all have a new option for an extremely fun night out right here in the GTA.
