The City of Timmins is proud to reaffirm the Freedom of the City to The Algonquin Regiment, recognizing the unit’s 125 years of service, sacrifice, and connection to the people of Northern Ontario. Freedom of the City is one of the most esteemed honours a municipality can bestow upon a military unit. Rooted in a centuries-old tradition, it symbolizes deep trust and respect. In medieval times, fortified cities only granted military units entry when absolute confidence existed in their intentions. Today, this ceremonial privilege grants a regiment the right to march through the city “with drums beating, colours flying, and bayonets fixed.” First granted to The Algonquin Regiment by the City of Timmins in 1977, this reaffirmation celebrates the regiment’s legacy as Northern Ontario’s oldest Army Reserve infantry regiment and its enduring role as protector, partner, and community member. Quotes: “For 125 years, The Algonquin Regiment has served with distinction. Their roots in our region run deep, and their contributions—both at home and abroad—have earned them the respect and gratitude of our community. We are honoured to reaffirm the Freedom of the City in recognition of their long history and continued service.” - Mayor Michelle Boileau, City of Timmins “The Freedom of the City is a proud tradition that reflects the enduring relationship between the Algonquin Regiment and the people of Timmins. This ceremony is a symbol of mutual respect and shared history, and we are honoured to continue that legacy alongside the community we serve.” - Lieutenant Colonel Kirk Langdon, Commanding Officer, The Algonquin Regiment

With just one week until Canada Day, the City of Timmins is ready to host a full day of fun, food, and fireworks. This year, we’re celebrating across two of our city’s favourite green spaces – Hollinger Park and Gillies Lake Conservation Area. Here’s what you need to know to make the most out of Canada’s birthday party. Parking: To make room for more inflatables, food vendors, and live entertainment, the Hollinger Park parking lot will be closed for the event. A limited number of accessible spaces will be available at the entrance. At Gillies Lake, the parking lot off Hwy. 655 will be closed from 6:00 a.m. on June 30 through July 1 to allow for fireworks set-up and display. There are a number of free parking options available a short distance from both parks. On July 1, there is free on-street parking at municipal meters and free parking in all City lots including the Spruce N. Lot, Algonquin Lot, Third Ave. Lot, Pine S. Lot, Library Lot, and Coalition Lot (Timmins Transit). Food and Vendors: Everyone is invited to enjoy one free hotdog, hamburger, or vegetarian option, plus water while quantities last. We’ll also be handing out an assortment of freeze pops and Canada Day cupcakes. Plan to stay for lunch and dinner with 4 local food trucks serving up fan favourites like poutine, for purchase. Entertainment and Activities: From inflatables to face painting, there’s a variety of fun for the whole family. Try inflatable axe throwing. Kids can bounce through the ultimate inflatable obstacle course. Discover 25 local vendors and community groups. Play a round of free mini-putt.

The City of Timmins is once again partnering with the Save Your Skin Foundation (SYSF) to help residents stay protected from the sun’s harmful rays. Free sunscreen dispensers will be available at key locations around the city, including Gillies Lake, downtown Timmins, and this year, special event spaces like Hollinger Park during Indigenous Peoples Day and the city’s Canada Day celebrations. This sun safety initiative is made possible through collaboration between the SYSF, the Northeastern Public Health, and the City’s Community Safety and Well-Being Team. Together, they’re raising awareness about skin cancer prevention by making SPF 30 broad spectrum sunscreen more accessible to the community. “We’re proud to bring back this important initiative for another summer,” says Meagan Baranyk, Community Programs Manager for the City of Timmins. “Whether you’re spending the day at the beach or celebrating with us at a community event, having free sunscreen available helps everyone stay safe while enjoying the season.” The dispensers are touchless, automatic, and completely free to use, containing a Health Canada-approved zinc oxide-based mineral sunscreen that’s suitable for sensitive skin — free from common allergens and harsh ingredients like sodium lauryl sulphate. Where to find the dispensers this summer: July 1, 2025 at Canada Day at Hollinger Park Gillies Lake Beach (while lifeguards are on duty) Downtown BIA Urban Market (every Wednesday) Northeastern Public Health (Pine St. South) For more information, visit: saveyourskin.ca/sunscreen-dispensers
City Council has voted to include a referendum question on the ballot for the 2026 Municipal Election, giving residents the opportunity to vote on a potential change to the way City Council members are elected. Residents will be asked, "Do you support changing the current Ward System for electing members of Council? Yes or No." This decision stems from Council Resolution #25-114, passed on April 8, 2025, which directed the City Clerk to initiate the process required to bring this question before local voters. The question is being added in accordance with Section 8.1(3) of the Municipal Elections Act, 1996, which mandates public notice and consultation prior to passing a by-law to place a referendum question on the ballot. If the referendum is approved by a majority of voters, options for changing the electoral system will then brought forward ahead of the 2030 Municipal Election. “If the majority of electors vote in favour of changing the current ward system, the City will begin exploring potential models for representation,” said Steph Palmateer, City Clerk and Director of Community Services. “At this time, no specific changes have been proposed—those options will only be developed and presented following an approved referendum.”
Timmins City Council has directed staff to undertake community consultation on a proposed location for H.O.P.E (Housing, Outreach, Protection, and Engagement), an encampment response initiative in partnership with the Cochrane District Services Board. If approved, the plan would designate space for modular structures as temporary housing alternatives to encampments. H.O.P.E was approved for funding in late January through the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, in response to increasing municipal concerns over the safety of encampments, particularly in public spaces. While $3.2 million has been approved for the project, Timmins City Council has requested that community consultation be carried out immediately to help inform site selection. The City has identified four municipally owned locations based on the following key criteria: overall size, accessibility to essential services and supports, proximity to existing municipal infrastructure, feasibility of setting up needed utilities and amenities, and the overall safety and security of residents and the surrounding community. The public will be asked to review the proposed locations and identify which site they feel would be most suitable. Public consultation will begin on Monday, February 24, 2025 until Friday, March 14, 2025. On Monday, the City will provide a summary of each feasible location, including how each site meets key criteria, online at Timmins.ca. The project webpage will include a video presentation, short survey, and feedback form. The survey will be available in both French and English, and a printed copy can be picked up at and returned to Service Timmins before March 14, 2025. The City is committed to a structured and transparent community engagement process. Focus groups and partner discussions will also be conducted with community partners, service agencies, and people with lived or living experience of homelessness.

City Council has approved the 2025 taxation fund budget with a 3.43% increase over last year. The taxation fund budget outlines how the City will collect, spend, and invest funds to cover operating costs to maintain core services, and direct investment in capital. The taxation fund budget is the City’s portion of the full municipal budget. This total is combined with approved budgets from the City’s Agencies, Boards, and Commissions (ABCs), MPAC property assessments, and provincial education rates to arrive at the final property tax rate for 2025. Council is expected to approve the 2025 tax rates by April. 2025 Operating Budget The 2025 net operating budget is $38,758,611. The operating budget covers the cost of daily public services, such as maintenance of city roads, public transit, garbage collection, snow removal, and parks and arena maintenance. 2025 Capital Budget The 2025 net capital budget is $12,253,418, with an 18.2% increase from last year. Capital funds support the creation, repair, or replacement of municipal assets that are required to deliver daily services to the community, including infrastructure like roads. This amount does not include capital expenses related to water and wastewater, which are approved as part of the separate utilities fund budget. This year’s capital budget includes: $2.5 million for road repair through the City’s “grind and pave” program (offset with funding) $1.1 million for phase 2 of Mattagami boat launch upgrades, including lighting, parking lot expansion, furniture, and fixtures $2.5 million for the construction of a bus wash facility for Timmins Transit (offset with funding) $1.2 million for St. Jean storm repairs (partially offset with reserve funds) Capital funds are also used for Golden Manor redevelopment and Connecting Link rehabilitation, with work being completed in 2025 from Crawford St. to Porcupine Bridge. “The City’s approved portion of the municipal budget represents a balance between delivering quality core services today, and setting Timmins up for a productive and sustainable tomorrow. Council continues to direct record investments in road rehabilitation and on improving our public parks and spaces. You’ll see upgrades to the Hollinger Park concert fields, installation of a dedicated cricket pitch, and money invested back into our facilities and arenas. We are moving forward on subdivision development, with a focused strategy to build more housing capacity and plan for future growth. This is a budget that supports progress, while recognizing the immediate needs of the community, and I’m proud of the work that Administration and staff have done to help deliver a plan that works for Timmins” ~ Mayor Michelle Boileau For more information on the 2025 budget, visit: https://www.timmins.ca/our_services/finance/city_budget_2025
The City of Timmins is ready to move forward on subdivision development with $9 million in funding from the Ontario government’s Housing-Enabling Water Systems Fund. The funding helps municipalities expand critical water, wastewater, and storm water infrastructure. The City was approved for the Melrose Heights subdivision expansion, an essential project to help mitigate the housing shortage in Timmins. Available municipal land will be transformed into approximately 241 residential lots. The City plans to adopt a two-phase approach, beginning with the installation of over 2,100 meters of necessary infrastructure. “The province’s funding will be directed towards the engineering, design, and construction of essential water mains, storm, and sanitary sewers,” said Scott Tam, Director of Growth and Infrastructure. “Critical infrastructure like water supply and sewage systems are essential services that a subdivision needs to function effectively. Expansion of the Melrose Heights subdivision follows recommendations from the City’s Housing Action Plan. The plan was adopted by Council last July to address the current and future housing needs of Timmins. “Currently, the city is experiencing pressure on all levels of housing,” said Mayor Michelle Boileau. “By increasing the housing supply, we can support business development, improve and diversify the local economy, and plan for future growth. One of the plan’s key recommendations was to advocate for funding from upper levels of government to move subdivision development forward. I want to thank Minister Surma and the Ministry of Infrastructure for supporting critical housing-enabling infrastructure. Details on the City’s Timmins Housing Action Plan are available online at: www.timmins.ca.
Last week, Mayor, councillors, and senior City staff attended the 2024 Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) Conference in Ottawa. In an update released by AMO on August 23, the conference was referred to as “record-setting” with over 3,300 participants in attendance. Timmins’ delegation used the opportunity to push for increased provincial funding for several key priorities, including housing, infrastructure, and recreation. In a meeting with the Honourable Minister Paul Calandra, Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, the City’s Housing Action Plan was presented with a focus on expanding critical infrastructure for subdivision development. Mayor Michelle Boileau and City staff will continue the conversation on Tuesday when Calandra makes a stop in Timmins. At the conference, Ontario announced another round of funding for housing-related infrastructure, a potential for the City to secure costs required to build, maintain, or repair core assets that support the construction of new homes. The City’s meeting with Parliamentary Assistant Amarjot Sandhu, Ministry of Infrastructure, discussed the funding requirements and how the City can continue to improve and expand municipal infrastructure to combat the housing shortage. “Both meetings were positive,” said the City’s Chief Administrative Officer Dave Landers. “We have about 15 minutes to make a case for what we need now to move Timmins’ forward. We need funding from upper levels of government to help us build more homes, specifically to help us make sure we have the infrastructure capacity to service new subdivisions.” The province also announced details of a new Community Sport and Recreation Infrastructure Fund to help upgrade existing or build new recreation facilities. The announcement came before the City’s meeting with the Honourable Neil Lumsden, Minister of Sport, to discuss funding options for the proposed multi-purpose recreation facility. Design and study costs related to the project could be eligible for funding, and the City will also look for additional projects that may qualify under the same program. “The timing of the province’s announcement was ideal,” said Mayor Michelle Boileau. “We were prepared to talk about how the proposed multi-purpose facility will not only improve access to local sports and recreation programming, but allow Timmins to host more events and expand tourism opportunities. Our vision is very much in line with the province’s commitment to provide access to modern facilities that support community growth and sustainability. What I took from the meeting is that our plans for a new multi-purpose facility need to incorporate both recreation and well-being opportunities.” While the City’s meeting with the Honourable Prabmeet Sarkaria on Hwy. 67 (Municipal Rd.) was not definitive, the Minister of Transportation has committed to come to Timmins and see the state of the road, while continuing to explore solutions for Timmins and Iroquois Falls. Both communities have been asking that maintenance and costs of Hwy. 67 be uploaded to the province. Mayor Boileau also met with the Honourable Sylvia Jones, Ontario’s Health Minister, as part of the Northern Ontario Large Urban Mayors (NOLUM) delegation on physician recruitment and retention. When the minister asked for ideas on how to combat the doctor shortage, Mayor Boileau’s recommendation was clear. Continue to invest in local healthcare facilities with the goal of making them state-of-the-art, with the equipment and resources that attract doctors and healthcare practitioners. “The province can help create workplaces where physicians will want to practice,” adds Boileau. “Modern, innovative, efficient, with access to the equipment and infrastructure that healthcare professionals will seek out.”
