City of Timmins, Environmental Services Department, wishes to advise the public of an emergency watermain repair in the following areas:
Areas
Norman St. from Park Ave. to Paul St., including all homes north of Paul St. on Norman.
Vanier St. from Norman St. to Center St.
Time of Disruption
Effective immediately. Estimated time of completion is 4:00 p.m. on January 18, 2025.
Homeowners will experience short-term loss of water, low water pressure, or brown or rust-coloured water during the repair.
It is recommended not to drink or wash laundry with discoloured water. While it is not harmful to your health, it can stain laundry. Once repairs are complete, turn on the COLD water tap closest to the source (usually your laundry tub tap) 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 work.

The snowmobile crossing on Algonquin Blvd. E. adjacent to Hollinger Park has been activated. The crossing makes up half of the new traffic light installation that allows pedestrians and snowmobiles to cross Algonquin Blvd. E. safely, and provides dedicated left turns for vehicles exiting KFC.
The traffic lights and dual crossings were added as a solution for safe trail access for snowmobiles, following the removal of the Algonquin overpass in early 2024. Separate crossings for snowmobiles and pedestrians are in place for safety, with mounted buttons installed for rider access. The snowmobile crossing connects to an approved trail through Hollinger Park and Water Tower Rd.
Please refer to the Timmins Snow Mobile Club for information on trail access.

Timmins City Council has approved a new Short-Term Accommodation By-law that will provide municipal oversight on properties used for short-terms stays. The popularity of vacation rental services has grown, with home owners renting out their residence, or part of their residence, for periods of less than 28 consecutive days. A quick search online shows apartments, cottages, homes, and guesthouses throughout Timmins as available.
By-law 2025-9085 is effective January 14, 2025, and requires that all short-term accommodations be licensed in Timmins as a business.
This means that properties being used for short-term accommodation, different from a hotel or bed and breakfast, will need to follow the City’s property and occupancy standards, health and safety regulations, and begin collecting the Municipal Transient Accommodation Tax (MAT).
“The benefit of a regulated short-term rental policy cannot be understated,” said Mayor Michelle Boileau. “With housing availability being a concern, we would like to encourage property owners to consider long-term rental agreements over short-term stays, but if they are renting out space for shorter stays, we also want to make sure that they follow our property standards and that the space is safe and maintained. This is important to both neighbouring property owners and temporary guests.
“We also have an opportunity to increase available MAT funding by having the tax collected on short-term rental accommodations. This means more potential funding for profit and not-for-profit tourism initiatives. We can further support important programs, like outreach services and the City’s Safety Improvement Grant, which are directly funded through the municipal portion of MAT revenues.”
Individuals with short-term rental properties can register with Service Timmins.
