With warm temperatures forecasted for the end of the week, Public Works is advising residents to be prepared for a mix of slush, snow, and potholes.
While work continues to clear the snow left behind by a late winter storm, Public Works is reminding residents that pushing snow from residential lots and driveways into the roadway is a violation of the Ontario Highway Traffic Act. The extra snow slows down snow removal, narrows city streets, and could cause temporary ponding on road surfaces as the snow melts.
The fluctuation between freezing and thawing also wreaks havoc on the roads, causing frost heaving that can damage pavement and create cracks and holes in the road surface. Provincial government standards require the City to fix a pothole within a prescribed period, depending on the size of the pothole and whether it is on a paved or unpaved road.
It is important to note that the City’s obligation to fix a pothole is only triggered after we become aware of the problem. If you see a pothole, report it online by clicking on the Service Timmins quick link on the City’s website, going directly to service.timmins.ca, or by calling 705-264-1331.
As temperatures climb, Public Works will continue to remove snow, clear catch basins (to help with water drainage), and fix potholes. We are asking residents to slow down when approaching road maintenance crews, use caution when navigating a work zone, and drive to spring road conditions.

The City of Timmins is inviting residents to provide feedback on our annual Household Hazardous and Special Waste event. Each year, the event offers residents a way to properly dispose of their household hazardous and special waste, free of charge. Hazardous materials like old paint, aerosols, single use batteries, pesticides, and more are collected at a drive-thru event set up by the City, typically in early summer.
The City’s Environmental Service Dept. is looking for opportunities to improve the event, with a goal of increasing the amount of household hazardous waste that is diverted from municipal landfills. Many everyday products used around the home contain hazardous ingredients. When thrown away with regular trash, the items can release toxic chemicals into the environment, harmful gases that contribute to air pollution, and can cause risk to wildlife. It’s important that household hazardous waste is properly disposed of through special collection events or drop-off sites that can safely handle hazardous materials.
The City is asking residents for their thoughts on how to make the event better, how to improve communication about hazardous waste, and what month and time of day would be best for the event. Residents can complete the survey online from March 10 to March 21, 2025.
