Temporary Pedestrian Crossing at Pine and Algonquin Relocated

The temporary pedestrian crossing at Pine St. and Algonquin Blvd. E. will be moved to east of the Cedar St. and Algonquin Blvd. E. intersection effective Thursday, June 6, 2024.

This is to facilitate construction work that is now encroaching on the Pine St. intersection.

Pedestrians will now cross Algonquin Blvd. E. at Cedar St.

Thank you for your continued patience as we work to complete this season's Connecting Link construction.

Timmins City Council has approved repairs for the piers and retaining wall at the Mattagami Boat Lau

Timmins City Council has approved repairs for the piers and retaining wall at the Mattagami Boat Launch at a cost of $1,270,305 + HST. The work will be carried out this summer by R.M. Belanger Ltd.

The repairs were identified through structural investigations conducted in 2021 and again last year. The repairs include removal and replacement of the timber docking floor, curbs, concrete walls and foundations on the east pier, paving, light poles, and damaged guiderails. Cracks in the concrete launch pad will be repaired and structural modifications to the existing steel sheet pile wall will be implemented.

The Mattagami Boat Launch was closed to the public in 2023 pending repairs.

City Celebrates Canada Day with Timmins’ First-ever Drone Show

Timmins’ first-ever drone show is going to light up the sky over Gillies Lake this Canada Day! The City of Timmins has partnered with The Bucket Shop Inc. and Northern College to swap the traditional fireworks display with something new for Northern Ontario!

“The City is working with Northstar Drone Shows to create a custom Canada Day show,” says Lynne Grenon, Manager of Facilities and Recreation. “Drone shows are dog-friendly, better for the environment, and it’s something different for Timmins. This is Timmins’ first drone show, and it wouldn’t be possible without The Bucket Shop Inc. and Northern College.”

The celebration will be a family-friendly evening event this year, held from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at Gillies Lake. Residents can bring a blanket or chairs, find a place on the grass, and listen to the DJ. McIntyre Coffee Shop’s food truck or Bubbles Fries are also great options if revelers want to grab a late dinner or snack. The City is serving up dessert with free Canada Day cake and cupcakes.

For updates on the Canada Day Drone Show, follow the City of Timmins or Timmins Tourism on Facebook. Thank you to the Timmins Community Park Association, Mattagami Region Conservation Authority (MRCA), The Bucket Shop Inc, and Northern College for your support.
