Reduced load restrictions for commercial motor vehicles and trailers will come into effect on Friday, March 21, 2025 on specific highways and streets within the City of Timmins. By-law 2006-6275 governs load restrictions to protect our roads and highways during the spring thaw, when damage is most likely to happen. By-law 2006-6275 also provides a list of the applicable roads under Schedule A.

The City’s Public Works Dept. uses the Ministry of Transportation’s Reduced Load Period (RLP) Table to determine the timing of reduced load restrictions. The table uses frost depth, moisture, and daily air temperatures to indicate when reduced load restrictions should be put in place and when they can be lifted. This ensures that the City’s road infrastructure is protected, while supporting the trucking and haulage industry by removed reduced load restrictions when appropriate.

Roads with reduced loads in effect will have signage posted. Learn more about the how the City is working to maintain our roads online at https://www.timmins.ca/our_services/roads_and_infrastructure.

Over the next 25 years, Timmins is anticipated to grow. Shifts in population, employment, and housing will change the landscape of our community. Imagine what Timmins will be like in the year 2051?

The City of Timmins is conducting a Growth Management Study that will help provide a long-term vision and strategy for Timmins. The City’s Planning Division is working with Watson & Associates Economists Ltd., in association with J.L. Richards & Associates Ltd., to review Timmins’ population, housing, and employment forecasts. The study will provide direction on where and how residential and employment growth should occur to best benefit the community. It will also provide the foundation for the City’s Official Plan Review.

Public engagement is an important part of this process. The City of Timmins is inviting residents to share their thoughts, ideas, and concerns about the future growth and development of Timmins.

A Public Open House on the City’s Growth Management Study is being held April 1, 2025 to discuss:

  • population, housing, and employment growth potential
  • social and economic trends that could impact municipal growth
  • opportunities and challenges with growth and development

Public Open House
Date: Tuesday, April 1, 2025
Time: 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Location: McIntyre Community Centre (Auditorium), 85 McIntyre Rd., Timmins, ON P4N 8R8

Planning how we grow and change will help us create a sustainable community that has the resources, amenities, and infrastructure we need to attract new residents, businesses, and services.

The City of Timmins, Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the public of sanitary sewer overflow at Station 2. 

Address: 57 Evans
Start date: March 15, 2025
Start time: 4:48 PM
End date: March 15, 2025
End time: 11:05 PM
Volume by-passed: 361.59 m3

Municipal wastewater consists of 99% water from stormwater and homes/businesses from washing, flushing etc. When a treatment plant or treatment process is overwhelmed, a bypass or overflow can occur. These events are often caused by heavy rainfall and/or snowmelt. During a by-pass or overflow, partially treated wastewater is diverted away from a treatment process to prevent backups, overflows or damage to the system.

For more information please visit : https://www.timmins.ca/our_services/water_and_sewer/sewage_treatment/wastewater_treatment_plant_bypasses

Residents can help mitigate flows by delaying or limiting unnecessary usage such as laundry, shower length, dishwashing etc. during rain storms.

City staff would like to thank residents for their assistance in reducing water usage during this time.

The City of Timmins is reviewing our waste management services to provide more convenient and equitable options for all residents. With rural landfill capacity becoming a concern, and with the transition to the new Blue Box recycling system, the City is exploring ways to improve service access while reducing landfill use.

Timmins’ waste collection is currently completed in-house by municipal staff, with over 97% of residents receiving curbside collection services. Approximately 320 residents rely solely on rural landfill sites for disposal. The City is seeking feedback from residents who are currently using the German Twp., Evelyn Twp., or Thornloe Twp. Landfill Sites, on the introduction of curbside waste collection for eligible rural households. The goal is to ensure waste management services continue to meet the needs of the community.

Residents can provide feedback in-person at one of the planned public open houses, or through an online survey beginning March 21, 2025 at www.timmins.ca.

Public Open House 1
Date: Monday, March 24, 2025
Time: 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Location: Connaught Community Centre, Connaught, ON P0N 1A0

Public Open House 2
Date: Tuesday, March 25, 2025
Time: 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Location: Timmins Public Library (Tembec Room), 320 Second Ave, Timmins, ON P4N 1B5

Municipal staff from the City’s Environmental Services Department will be on-hand to answer questions and discuss the benefits and challenges of rural curbside waste collection. Residents will have an opportunity to provide input and complete the survey.

For more information on curbside waste collection, visit: https://www.timmins.ca/our_services/waste_recycling_services/have_your_say_-_rural_curbside_waste_collection.
