Planned maintenance will take place at the Mattagami Water Pollution Control Plant to facilitate draining, cleaning, and refilling of the chlorine contact tank. This work is required to remove the solids on the bottom of the tank and to remove the growth of algae and moss on the tank walls. While this will temporarily reduce the chlorine contact time, chlorine will continue to be added to the final effluent, and we do not expect significant impacts on the final disinfection process. The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks have been notified, and samples will be collected.

Timmins City Council has approved a six-month pilot project to provide first-mile / last-mile transit connection for Ontario Northland’s Northlander passenger rail service.
The pilot project will be implemented when Northlander passenger rail service begins, and is intended to make it easier for residents and visitors to travel between the Timmins-Porcupine Rail Station and destinations within the current transit service area.
In March, Council directed staff to examine options for connecting the rail station with the existing Timmins Transit network. The review found that the proposed train schedule presents two transportation challenges: the morning train is scheduled to arrive before bus service begins, while the evening departure occurs during the City’s reduced evening transit service.
As part of the pilot, Council has approved a service agreement with Timmins Taxi to deliver the shared-ride, vehicle-for-hire component up to a maximum of $6,000 per month for six months. Riders will pay the standard rate of a conventional bus ride, with the City supplementing the cost of transportation for morning arrivals and connections outside available bus service. Timmins Transit will also extend the current Route 16 conventional bus service by 90 minutes to accommodate evening rail departures Monday through Saturday with a direct connection from the rail station to the main Timmins Transit Terminal.
Throughout the six-month pilot, Timmins Transit will monitor ridership, passenger travel patterns, operating costs, and customer feedback. The information collected will be used to determine whether permanent first-mile / last-mile rail connection should be accommodated by Timmins Transit with fixed route bus service.
“We want to help make regional transportation convenient for residents and visitors,” said Mayor Michelle Boileau. “The return of passenger rail service is an important milestone for Timmins, and we want to ensure that people have a reliable way to catch the train. The pilot project allows us to review how people use the service and make informed decisions about Timmins’ future transportation needs.”
More information about the pilot project, including service details, will be shared before the Northlander begins passenger service.

The City of Timmins is taking proactive steps to prepare for next winter by securing dedicated grader services for snow clearing and maintenance grading.
Council has awarded a two-year contract to 1393097 Ontario Inc. at a cost of $568,320 + HST. The agreement will provide specific motor grader support during the 2026-2027 and 2027-2028 winter seasons.
The contract is part of the Public Works Department’s strategy to improve service reliability and resource planning ahead of the next winter storm. Challenges such as aging equipment, mechanical breakdowns, and periodic staff shortages demonstrated the need for reliable access to grading resources during periods of high demand. The new contract will help Public Works respond more effectively to significant snowfall while maintaining safe winter road conditions.
The two-year contract also helps stabilize pricing, allowing the City to better forecast winter maintenance costs. Winter maintenance operations will continue to be delivered through a combination of municipal service and contracted resources to support winter travel throughout the community.

Timmins City Council has approved the construction contract for Phase I of the Melrose Heights subdivision expansion, marking a significant step towards increasing the city’s housing supply and supporting long-term economic growth. Council has awarded the contract to GIP-Interpaving in the amount of $36,296,444.00 + HST.
The project will create 172 fully serviced lots that will be ready for residential development over the next three years.
The subdivision expansion helps address the ongoing housing shortage while preparing the community for anticipated growth. Construction is expected to begin in the fall of 2026 and continue through the summer of 2029, with no planned seasonal shutdowns. The phased approach is expected to deliver approximately 60 serviced lots in 2027, another 60 lots in 2028, with the remaining serviced lots completed in 2029.
The contract includes approximately 2,100 metres of new municipal infrastructure including roadway and sidewalk construction, watermain installation, sanitary and storm sewer installation, residential servicing, street lighting, and naturalized areas.
Council has also approved the zoning by-law amendment to support the subdivision expansion, moving the subject lands to Residential Third Density (NA-R3), which will allow for immediate medium-density development.
Cost of construction is supported through pervious funding secured through Ontario’s Housing-Enabling Water Systems Fund, which will provide up to $9.2 million toward eligible water, sanity sewer, and storm sewer infrastructure. Council also approved capital budget allocation of $7.5 million to begin the project. Additional funding requirements will be distributed between 2026 and 2029 through the capital budget process, and from available provincial and federal funding programs.
The Melrose Heights subdivision expansion is one of the City’s largest residential development projects in recent years and represents long-term investment in housing and infrastructure. By bringing new serviced lots to market, the project will help create opportunities for future residential construction while supporting Timmins’ growing economy.
