The flags at Timmins City Hall and all municipal buildings will be lowered to half-mast in honour of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II following her passing earlier today at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
“The City of Timmins joins the rest of Canada in mourning Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and offers our sincere condolences to the Royal Family and the United Kingdom,” said Mayor Kristin Murray. “We stand at a moment of great transition as we remember and honour Canada’s Queen. We will prepare a book of condolence at City Hall where members of the community are invited to record their own condolences for the Royal Family.”
Flags will remain lowered to half mast until the Sunday following Her Majesty’s official funeral. Mayor and council will observe a moment of silence to honour The Queen at the next council meeting held on September 13, 2022.
