February 13, 2024 – Ottawa, Ont. – National Defence / Canadian Armed Forces
Local Canadian Army Reserve units are training in multiple locations in Northern Ontario in the upcoming weeks. Dates include February 15, February 22, and March 7, 2024. Most training will be done in the evening hours of the dates specified.
33 Canadian Brigade Group’s Northern Tactical Group, consisting of soldiers from The Irish Regiment of Canada (Sudbury) and The Algonquin Regiment (North Bay & Timmins) will conduct this infantry navigation training using official Land Use Agreements in the following locations:
• Sudbury: Kivi Park & Crowley Lake Outpost;
• North Bay: Laurier Woods Conservation Area; and
• Timmins: Hersey Lake Conservation Area.
Members of the public may see Canadian Army soldiers in uniform with their service weapons, and military vehicles on local roads and highways.
No ammunition of any kind will be present.
This training is practice for later activities at Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) bases and ranges and allows these units and personnel to confirm skills locally before firing live ammunition at approved training facilities.
This important exercise also prepares Canadian Army Reserve members to operate in various weather conditions and maintain fitness and stamina while carrying their equipment. Regular, scheduled training keeps our soldiers and units ready to respond to missions in Canada like floods and wildfires and support international stability operations with partners and allies. All Canadian Army Reserve members train regularly to maintain and further develop their skills in safe and effective operations, and to test discipline, safety, and effectiveness.
All measures are being taken to ensure minimum inconvenience in these areas during the exercise dates, and members of the public are asked to use extra caution when approaching military vehicles and are thanked in advance for their understanding and co-operation.

Beginning Monday, February 12, Timmins’ paratransit service will transition to an automated mobility management system called Timmins Transit On-Demand. The new software platform is powered by Spare, and includes an easy-to-use app that will make booking an accessible ride fast and convenient.
On Monday, paratransit users will be able to request and pay for shared-ride, curb-to-curb service through the Timmins Transit On-Demand app. The app eliminates the need for advanced booking and provides real-time trip notifications, making it easier to plan travel. The paratransit service area is also being expanded. Coverage will extend north to areas off Laforest Rd., with service to the Timmins Victor M. Power Airport; south to areas around Goldmine Rd.; east to the Hallnor Rd. and Hwy 101 E. intersection; and, west to Kamiskotia Rd., with service to Mount Jamieson Resort.
The Timmins Transit On-Demand app is available to download now from the iOS App Store or Google Play Store. Paratransit users are encouraged to download the app, create an account, and familiarize themselves with how to book, pay, and confirm their ride.
Timmins Transit On-Demand is one way the City is looking to modernize public transportation in Timmins. Plans are underway to pilot a microtransit system in Porcupine and South Porcupine that will expand the current transit service area, using the City’s paratransit buses. Microtransit solutions allow cities to fill gaps in their fixed-route network by connecting riders to existing conventional transit. That means, riders in Porcupine and South Porcupine, including Connaught Hill, who do not live near a static bus stop will be able to use Timmins Transit On-Demand to catch their bus. More information about the expanded microtransit service will be available soon.
Paratransit is an accessible transit solution that requires registration. Current registered users are already pre-approved for use of the app. New users can register by filling out an application available online at Timmins.ca. For assistance, visit the Timmins Transit main terminal on Spruce St. S. or call 705-360-2600 ext. 3504.
Delivering a modern, efficient, and convenient public transportation network is Timmins Transit’s main goal. New technologies are being put in place to help move more people and make better use of Timmins Transit resources.

After weeks of temperatures skating above 0°, the City has decided to close all municipal outdoor rinks and Hollinger Skate Path for the remainder of the winter season. Indoor public skating will now be offered free of charge. This includes Saturday skates at the McIntyre Arena and weekend skates at the Whitney Arena in Porcupine.
“Temperatures are not cooperating with outdoor rink maintenance,” said Lynne Grenon, Manager of Facilities and Recreation. “Ice conditions have deteriorated and it’s not staying cold long enough for a solid ice base to freeze. Instead, we’re making all of the season’s remaining indoor public skates free, waiving the $5 admission fee.
Skating is a fun winter pastime and indoor skating offers you the assurance that the ice surface is safe and solid. For available public skating times and arena locations, visit: Timmins.ca/our_services/recreation_services/skating.

The flags at all City buildings have been lowered in honour of former Mayor Victor M. “Vic” Power, following his passing on Saturday, February 3, 2024.
Vic Power was Timmins’ longest-serving mayor, with a political career that spanned four decades and a legacy of impact and impression that continues to shape Timmins today.
Power was first elected to Timmins Town Council in 1966, and served for 14 years before being elected as Mayor of the City of Timmins in 1980. His time in public office included the amalgamation of the town with surrounding townships and communities in 1973. He served as City Mayor until 1988, again between 1991 and 2000, and was re-elected in 2003 before announcing his final retirement from politics in 2006.
Power was considered progressive by his peers and remained unfailingly optimistic about the future of Timmins. He considered his hometown an important business and service centre for northeastern Ontario, recognizing the value of the region’s natural resources and industry investment. He was also steadfast in his admiration for municipal leaders, both before and after his time in office, understanding the challenge of making critical decisions in a changing municipal landscape. As community leader, he considered himself part of a team, working together to create a sustainable city.
In 2007, the local airport was renamed the Timmins Victor M. Power Airport, and in 2009 Power was named to the Order of Canada for his exceptional contribution at a local and regional level.
The public is invited to pay their final respects to former Mayor Vic Power through a Book of Condolence. Mayor Michelle Boileau and Members of Council will sign the Book of Condolence on Tuesday, February 6, with public signing starting on Wednesday, February 7, 2024 at 8:30 a.m. in City Hall.

DOWNLOAD the Mayor's Reading List. A collection of children's books in French and English, available to borrow at the Timmins Public Library.
Developing strong literacy skills can start in the early critical years from 0-5, according to the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten Program, an initiative designed to encourage reading to newborns, infants, and toddlers. It’s something that Mayor Michelle Boileau has put into practice with her young daughter Rosalie. To help celebrate Family Literacy Day, and the Timmins Public Library and EarlyON relaunch of the program, Mayor Boileau has released the Mayor’s Reading List, a collection of eleven (11) books that have become favourites in her home.
“Reading together, in both French and English, is one of the best parts of my day,” said Mayor Boileau. “It lets me practice mindfulness and connect with my daughter, while we work on her reading and language skills. It’s really rewarding.”
The collection includes stories about noisy bears and dancing giraffes, little foxes who won’t sleep, and an illustrated book from a favourite sitcom all about friends.
This Saturday, Mayor Boileau will head to the Timmins Public Library for their Family Literacy Day Celebration between 10:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. The 1000 Books Before Kindergarten Program has been revamped to include an interactive and engaging way for children and parents to track their reading progress. The program includes hands-on story tracking, themed adventures, and an enhanced reading experience.
“We’re good at remembering to read, not as good at remembering to track each book,” admits Mayor Boileau. “We’re excited to start tracking and we’ve checked with the library to make sure all of the recommended books are available to borrow.”
How do you read 1,000 books before kindergarten? Read one book a night and after one year, you will have read 365 books. That’s 730 books in two years and 1,095 books in three years. It’s never too late to start and celebrate the joy of reading.

Last year, over $385,000 in grants and in-kind donations were distributed by the City of Timmins to local businesses, property owners, and volunteer organizations. Approximately $258,000 was handed out under the City’s Downtown Community Improvement Plan, and over $128,000 was handed out to support non-profit and volunteer organizations. Applications for 2024 are now being accepted.
The City’s Downtown Community Improvement Plan allows the municipality to support the use, reuse and restoration of buildings, land, and infrastructure through municipal incentive programs, like grants and tax rebates. The Downtown Community Improvement Plan targets specific downtown areas and can assist with building or façade improvements. New businesses in a designated downtown area can apply for a parking fee and transit grant to support employees with a 50% reduction for parking passes or transit passes for a period of one-year. Grant opportunities can help reduce costs related to City planning and building fees. Maximum grant amounts and eligibility varies for each grant and tax rebate.
In late 2023, City Council also approved expanding the Safety Improvement Grant to include all businesses in Timmins. Now, local business owners in commercial, industrial, institutional, or rural zones, and legally non-conforming commercial, industrial, or institutional businesses (excluding home-based businesses) on residentially zoned properties, can apply for a safety improvement grant to add safety features, such as security cameras and fencing, to their business property. The same amendments now allow business owners to continue to apply for a safety improvement grant, for multiple projects, up to a maximum grant amount of 75% of costs or $7,500.
Local non-profit and volunteer groups may be eligible for grants or in-kind donations through the City’s Grants to Organizations and Groups fund. Grants can be issued to cover general operating expenses, or costs related to a special event that is of cultural, social, or recreational significance. In-kind donations of municipal property or facilities, like arena rentals, can help groups reduce the cost of hosting festivals or events in accessible municipal spaces.
Application forms, eligibility requirements, and details for each grant, tax rebate, or in-kind donation opportunity are available on the City’s website at Timmins.ca.

The City’s 2023 waste diversion stats are in.
Last year, approximately 6,902,755 pounds of recyclable material was diverted from our landfills through collection programs and curbside recycling.
Over 6 million of that was collected at the curb through the residential recycling program.
Last year, residents and businesses help the City divert:
- Scrap Metal: 344,406 lbs
- Electronics: 128,507 lbs
- Hazardous Waste: 54,432 lbs
- Recycling Collected at the Curb: 6,372,940 lbs
- Textiles & Houseware: 9,470 lbs
Diverting waste means less garbage in the landfill, which lengthens its life-cycle and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Recycling existing material also means less new material needs to be produced, cutting down on industrial pollution.
