The flag at the McIntyre Arena, the city’s historic hockey venue, has been lowered in honour of Murray Costello, a man who made historic contributions to the sport of hockey. Following his passing on July 27, 2024, Costello is being remembered for his passion and commitment to Canada’s national winter sport.
Born and raised in South Porcupine, Costello would go on to have a four-season career in the NHL and eventually be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, most notably for his visionary leadership of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association and Hockey Canada. A lifetime member of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), an Officer of the Order of Canada, and a recipient of the Order of Hockey in Canada, Costello is also credited with the addition of women’s hockey to the Olympics and organized the first IIHF World Women’s Championship over three decades ago.
“Murray Costello’s contribution to the world of hockey is a source of great pride for South Porcupine and the city of Timmins,” said Mayor Michelle Boileau. “He leaves behind a legacy of hockey excellence, which will continue to be felt well beyond our Canadian hockey rinks. On behalf of the City of Timmins, I offer my sincere condolences to Costello’s family and friends.”

The launch of Timmins Transit On-Demand bus service for Porcupine and South Porcupine is being delayed until early September. A new tentative date has been set for September 3, 2024. Necessary changes were required to driver schedules, and we are now working to meet collective agreement deadlines and ensure we are minimizing the impact to drivers and transit customers.
Today’s Public Information Centre (PIC) at the Northern College gymnasium will proceed. Residents are invited to drop in between 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. or 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. to learn more about microtransit service, see the expanded route map, and watch demonstrations on how to book and navigate the Timmins Transit On-Demand app.
There will be no change to current bus service in Porcupine and South Porcupine. We will continue to provide updates on Timmins Transit On-Demand, and look forward to providing residents in Porcupine and South Porcupine with a modern and efficient transit solution.

Timmins Transit’s On-Demand service is coming to Porcupine and South Porcupine beginning August 1, 2024. The microtransit pilot project will allow Timmins Transit to expand service coverage in the east end of the city and provide flexible, shared-ride transportation booked through the Timmins Transit On-Demand mobile app, web portal, or by calling Timmins Transit.
Adding expanded On-Demand service will require changes in the current fixed-route service for Porcupine and South Porcupine.
Timmins Transit will be holding a public information session on Thursday, July 25, 2024 in the Northern College gymnasium. See the expanded route map, watch demonstrations on how to book and navigate the Timmins Transit On-Demand app, and learn more about how microtransit service will improve public transportation for Porcupine and South Porcupine.
