Residents can help by conserving water, managing runoff on their properties, and keeping our pipes clear—no wipes in the pipes!

The City of Timmins has joined the 40th annual Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides as part of National AccessAbility Week this May. Proceeds support the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides (LFCDG), a national charity that empowers Canadians with disabilities to lead confident, independent lives.

On Sunday, May 25, 2025, Timmins’ residents have an opportunity to participate and help raise essential funds to match Canadians with medical and physical disabilities with a life-changing Dog Guide, at no cost to the recipient. A Dog Guide costs approximately $35,000 to raise, train, and match. The amount is covered through vital events like the Walk for Dog Guides, which is why the City has signed up!

Thanks to national sponsor, Pet Valu, all proceeds from this event will directly fund Dog Guide programs. The Timmins’ Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides is taking place on May 25, 2025 at Gillies Lake. Registration is now open at: https://www.walkfordogguides.com/fundraiser/TimminsWalkforDogGuides. Residents can also make a direct donation in-person at Service Timmins in City Hall, Pet Valu on Waterloo Rd., or online through the Timmins’ event page.

Timmins’ Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides is part of the City’s National AccessAbility Week programming, coordinated by the Municipal Accessibility Advisory Committee. The committee works year-round to ensure that municipal services, facilities, and infrastructure are accessible to people of all abilities in our community.

Board Timmins Transit for free on Tuesday, April 22, 2025. We’re celebrating Earth Day with free bus rides to help support our planet. Going green can be as simple as choosing public transportation.

There are a number of reasons riding the bus can be environmentally friendly versus using a private vehicle. Buses produce far fewer greenhouse gas emissions per passenger than private cars and trucks. Public transportation options can also lower energy consumption and help conserve fuel, reducing the demand for fossil fuels. Fewer vehicles on the road can also lower levels of air pollutants.

As Timmins plans for growth and development, improving and modernizing public transportation is one way we can create walkable neighbourhoods, that are more compact and connected across a sustainable transportation network.

On Tuesday, April 22 ride the bus for Earth Day! It’s free and it’ll give the environment a break. Where will you go?
