Public Works Declares Significant Weather Event - Tuesday, March 04, 2025

The City of Timmins Public Works is declaring a Significant Weather Event under the provisions of the Minimum Maintenance Standards for Municipal Highways (O.Reg 239/02). Starting at 2:00 AM Wednesday March 5, 2025.

Due to the winter storm warning issued by Environment Canada and modeling with the amount of snow forecasted, we are anticipating delays in the plowing of some city streets and roads along with most city sidewalks. City resources will be deployed when deemed appropriate.

Environment Canada is predicting a major winter storm with snow, heavy at times, and local blowing snow expected to begin tonight and continuing through Friday before tapering off Saturday evening. Potential hazards include:

• Snowfall amounts of 20 to 30 cm
• Peak Snowfall Rates of 2 to 4 cm per hour
• Northerly winds gusting to 50km/hr will resulting in blowing snow and reduced visibility

Environment Canada advises residents to consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow.

Weather may also impact Timmins Transit service. Delays and/or cancellation of services may occur. Updates will be shared via the City website and social media.

We also remind residents that the Winter Parking Ban is in effect and parking on the street is not permitted on any day, between the hours of 11:30 pm to 7:30 am, from November 1 through April 30 unless otherwise posted.

Residents are also reminded that City BYLAW 1993-4162 does not allow a person to place snow from a person’s property onto the road or sidewalk.

We thank you for your cooperation in this matter. An additional notice will be posted to declare the end of the Significant Weather Event when the municipality determines is it appropriate to do so.

Emergency Watermain Break Repair – Environmental Services – March 3, 2025

The City of Timmins Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the public of Emergency Watermain Break within the following area:

Timmins Area:
• College St. between Jubilee St. West and Westmount Blvd.
• University St. between Jubilee St. West and Westmount Blvd.

Date and Time of Disruption:
• March 3, 2025, from 10am until 10pm

All homes and businesses in the affected area could have coloured water and/or lower water pressure. It is recommended not to drink or wash laundry with the discoloured water. While it is not harmful to your health, it can stain laundry. Should this occur, it is advised to 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 colour has returned to normal.

Environmental Services would like to thank residents for their patience and cooperation during this work.
