Access to City Hall is currently limited. We are working to resolve an issue with our elevator. Before you visit, please call Service Timmins at (705) 264-1331. Accessible access is not available until elevator repairs are completed. 

Service Timmins can assist with most inquiries by phone (705) 264-1331 or online at service.timmins.ca.

We appreciate your patience and will let you know as soon as repairs have been made.

The City of Timmins, Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the public of hydrant flushing/watermain cleaning activities in the following areas:

Area:
• On Waterloo Rd. from Algonquin Blvd. W to Vimy Ave. and will be conducting flow testing in this area.

Time of Disruption:
• Friday, June 14, 2024, starting at 8:00am

Homeowners and businesses may experience short-term loss in water pressure or experience brown or rust-coloured water following the testing. It is recommended not to drink or wash laundry with the discoloured water. While it is not harmful to your health, it can stain laundry. Should this occur, it is advised to turn off your tap for 10-20 minutes in order to allow the crew to complete the test. Once the test is complete and the work crew has left the area, turn on the COLD water tap closest to the source (usually the tap on your laundry tub) and let it run for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the water colour has returned to normal.

City staff would like to thank residents for their patience and cooperation during this necessary process, and advise that if there are any questions, concerns or requests for additional information, they may contact the Service Timmins at 705-264-1331.

The Terry Fox Trail will be closed between Dalton Rd. and the Bannerman Tennis Courts effective Friday, June 07, 2024. 

Repaving of the popular city trail is part of this year's Pavement Project and will begin with removal of the existing asphalt. 

Thank you for your cooperation.

City Council has approved the installation of a temporary stop sign on Sixth Ave. at Birch St. N. to assist with speed reduction and traffic flow. 

The City's Traffic Dept. will install the temporary sign on Friday, June 7, 2024 between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. Once the sign is installed, motorists traveling on Sixth Ave. will be required to come to a complete stop before proceeding. The intersection will act as a 4-way stop. The first vehicle to enter has the right-of-way at a four-way stop. If two or more cars stop at the same time, right-of-way goes to the vehicle on the right.

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.

Note on the Plan:

Sweeping Operations will take several weeks to complete. There is a lot of sand to pick up every year, so we ask residents to remain patient. Weather conditions and mechanical issues play a major role in how quickly Public Works can complete the sweeping operations. Heavy rain and subzero temperatures will halt operations.

Posted No Parking Signs Advising Spring Maintenance:

Public Works would like to remind residents that yellow No Parking Signs will be posted to notify that Spring Maintenance will be taking place for daytime operations. Vehicles not complying with these No Parking signs will be ticketed and towed to allow for Street Sweeping Crew to advance.

Priority Sequence for Street Sweeping Operations:

Day Operation:

Street Sweeping is never done in the area where Sanitation is taken place.

High density residential areas (Older Section of City: one-ways, narrow streets);

Low density residential areas

Night Operation:

Highway sections;

High density commercial sections;

Main Arterial Routes.

Safety:

A reminder to respect safety signage as the safety of workers is very important.

We thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
