The Regional Municipality of Durham has long been reaping the benefits of co-operative governance. In the mid-1970s, the Ontario government created several large regional municipalities in areas targeted for rapid development. Durham -- made up of Oshawa, Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, Clarington and the townships of Brock, Scugog and Uxbridge -- was one such area, with a 32-member council overseeing economic development and the day-to-day needs of keeping the region ticking. Working as one has paid off. Strategically located in North America's economic heartland, along major transportation routes and next door to Toronto (Canada's largest city), the Region had convenient avenues to over 120 million consumers. It's now one of the fastest-growing centers in North America in terms of industrial, commercial and residential expansion. It's also paid off in such quality-of-life features as the Oshawa-Durham Symphony Orchestra, the Writers' Circle of Durham Region and (for the online crowd) the Durham Free-Net. Offline, there's lots of room for interaction. The Region comprises an area of approximately 1,000 square miles providing ample space for industry, commerce and people to prosper.
