The City of Timmins has published a new open data dashboard to track progress of four safety and well-being priorities identified in the municipal Community Safety and Well-being Plan (the Plan)
The City’s Plan outlines a framework to provide a strategic end to homelessness, improve outcomes of mental health and addiction, increase youth engagement and belongingness, and encourage a shared effort to improve the health and welfare of all residents.
The data dashboard provides annual and quarterly updates for key indicators that measure the City’s progress towards each goal, including the number of people actively experiencing homelessness in Cochrane District, and annual paramedic calls and Emergency Dept. visits attributed to mental health and addictions.
“The City is actively working with over 40 service agencies and health care providers to improve community safety and well-being,” says Mayor Michelle Boileau. “There are measurable results from the actions and initiatives already underway. The dashboard provides the community with a snapshot of how we’re doing today and where we’re heading tomorrow.”
The data dashboard is the latest way that the City of Timmins is delivering results-based information to build transparency and accountability.
“It will take a collective effort to successfully deliver this plan, and that includes commitment from all levels of government, social services, business, industry, and individual community members,” adds Boileau. “We need everyone to see themselves as part of the strategy and the solution.

The Golden Manor’s redevelopment plans will move to construction phase following approval from City Council.
Council is excited to move forward in the best interest of current and future residents of the Golden Manor,” said Mayor Michelle Boileau. “We know that there will be an improved quality of life with increased resident room size, private washrooms, room for socializing and engagement. Council has worked hard to find a path forward to make this project feasible from a cost perspective.”
Total project cost is now estimated to be close to $110 million. Redevelopment will increase bed capacity from 173 to 192, which is crucial for a population currently underserved. This will allow more residents who are entering long-term care to be cared for within Timmins. This will further serve to reduce the impact on Timmins’ regional hospital and applicable health services, while improving the overall quality of life for residents.
Council’s approval comes just in time to meet the Ministry of Long-Term Care (MLTC) top-up funding of $35 per bed, per day, per year for 25 years. First phase of construction will start this month with a new parking lot. Project completion is not expected until spring of 2026.
“City and Council have worked hard to lobby upper levels of government for support,” adds Boileau. We’ve received close to $50 million in additional funding, which is significant.

The City of Timmins Environmental Services & Public Utilities department wishes to advise the public of a scheduled water infrastructure maintenance activity affecting water quality on Eric Cr. from houses 177/178 North to 164/165. This is scheduled to start August 3, 2023 from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM.
All homes and businesses in the affected area could be without water for a few hours as well colored water and lower than normal water pressures. Residents have been notified.
Homeowners in that area may experience brown or rust-colored water during the schedule water maintenance. It is recommended not to drink or wash laundry with the discolored 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 water color has returned to normal.
City staff would like to thank residents for their patience and cooperation during this work.
