Welcome To Ajax
There is Always a Lot to Do
The Basics
In the Durham Region, just 25 kilometres east of Toronto, sits the Town of Ajax. It’s just west of Whitby and east of Pickering. This once-small town was named after a Royal Navy cruiser known as the HMS Ajax, and incorporated in 1955. Of course, a lot has changed since then.
