The City of Timmins is participating in a mock emergency exercise at the Timmins Victor M. Power Airport on Wednesday, August 16, 2023. The exercise is a requirement by Transport Canada and is an important part of emergency planning and prevention.
This test of the airport’s emergency response will begin at 10:00 a.m. and include airport personnel and first responders from Timmins Police Service, the Timmins Fire Department, and Cochrane District EMS.
This is a controlled exercise. The Timmins Victor M. Power Airport will remain open and the simulation may be visible on an adjacent taxiway, inside the terminal building, or on approach to the airport. Staff have communicated with airlines and arriving passengers will be aware that this is only an exercise.
Only authorized personnel will be allowed into the exercise areas.
