Planned essential maintenance will be taking place at the Mattagami Water Pollution Control Plant which requires the use of the raw sewage pumping station overflow line on September 3, 2025 for approximately six (6) hours (8AM to 2PM).

We’re reminding residents that only human waste and small amounts of toilet paper should be flushed. Baby wipes, feminine products, dental floss, cotton swabs, cleaning and disinfectant wipes, toilet bowl scrubbers and paper towels might be labeled "flushable," but they are not!
These products do not break down in the sewer system and can cause plugs in sewer pipes and pumps, resulting in sewer backups, overflows, costly cleanups and sewage equipment replacement. While it may seem convenient to dispose of various materials in this manner, it can have severe consequences for our sewage works. Please dispose of non-flushable items in the waste receptacle, ensuring they are properly bagged.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in this matter. By working together to practice responsible waste disposal, we can help maintain the integrity of our sewage system.

Timmins City Council has directed administration to hire temporary overnight security to patrol a two-block radius around the emergency shelter on Spruce St. S.
Security will be in place for one month, with patrols scheduled nightly from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. The implementation date and cost are still being finalized.
The decision was made in response to safety concerns related to an encampment located in the laneway behind the shelter property. At the end of the one-month trial, Council has requested a report that includes data on service calls and security activities, as well as feedback from residents and property owners in the focus area.

City Council has approved $100,000 in funding through the City’s portion of the Municipal Accommodation Tax (MAT) to support the expansion of the Mountjoy Farmer’s Market.
Over the past two years, the Mountjoy Farmer’s Market has experienced tremendous growth, attracting more than 50 vendors to the popular Saturday market and prompting plans to expand the current pavilion.
The expansion project is estimated at $250,000. With $100,000 in support from the City, market organizers will actively pursue grant opportunities and building partnerships to secure the remaining funds.
The investment aligns with the goals of the MAT Tax to reinvest in tourism and community-driven projects that contribute to the local economy. The expansion is expected to make room for more vendors, support local entrepreneurs, and provide additional opportunities for cultural and community programming.
The Mountjoy Farmer’s Market currently operates on Saturday mornings, with the facility also available for rent throughout the week and across the season for a variety of events.
