Planned improvements to the Victor M. Power Airport fly forward with the approval of a construction contract for terminal upgrades totaling $3,383,435 + HST. G&S Enterprises will be completing an addition to the departure lounge, renovations to the security screening area, and modernization of the airport’s front façade. Plans are intended to enhance the passenger experience and improve airport efficiency.
The departure lounge expansion will add passenger space, comfort, and improve passenger flow during peak travel times, while supporting future service growth. Renovations to the security screening area will improve efficiency and ensure compliance with aviation security requirements. Exterior façade improvements will modernize the terminal’s appearance, address long-term maintenance needs, and create a more welcoming gateway to the community.
The proactive investment helps protect a critical municipal asset while reducing the potential for more costly repairs in the future. The work follows the completion of the initial design phase and is based on recommendations from the Airport Master Plan. The project is intended to support regional economic development by strengthening transportation connectivity and enhancing the overall travel experience at the Victor M. Power Airport.
Construction timelines and additional project updates will be shared as work moves forward. Read the Timmins Victor M. Power Airport Master Plan online at: https://bit.ly/4hqS2vm

The City of Timmins has officially designated The H.R. Bielek Building and Timmins Transit Terminal as properties of cultural heritage value or interest. The buildings reflect key chapters in Timmins’ growth, from the expansion of transportation and rail service to the evolution of entertainment and arts in Ontario’s north.
The H.R. Bielek Building was constructed in 1930, celebrating the golden era of motion pictures and theatre. The property is recognized as an early example of a purpose-built sound motion picture theatre in Northern Ontario. Today, the building retains the characteristic form of theatres of the period, with interior plasterwork and decorative detailing that demonstrate a high degree of craftsmanship. The property is historically associated with Leo Mascioli and the Timmins Theatre Company, both significant to the development of film exhibition and entertainment in the community. Today, the building is home to the Timmins Senior Citizens Recreation Centre
The Timmins Transit terminal is a well-preserved example of early 20th-century railway station architecture. Built in 1916 for the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway, the building played a significant role in the development of Timmins as the primary passenger rail station. The building supported transportation, commerce, and access to the Porcupine mining region, contributing to the economic growth of Northern Ontario. The station remained a transportation hub until passenger rail service ended in 1990 and continues to serve as an inter-city and municipal bus terminal. It is the last remaining railway structure from the former Timmins rail yard and a recognizable local landmark.
Anyone interested in putting forward a nomination for addition of property to the Municipal Heritage Register are encouraged to download the Application Form or reach out to Service Timmins for more information.

Fire crews across the city will begin their annual Home Inspection Program, going door-to -door from May through October to ensure all residences have working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, and discussing home escape plans with residents.
The Ontario Fire Code requires all residences to have working smoke alarms on every level of the home and outside sleeping areas. New in 2026, the Ontario Fire Code also requires working carbon monoxide alarms on every level of a home if there is a fuel-burning appliance, fireplace, attached garage, or air for heating comes from a fuel-burning appliance not contained within the residence.
The Timmins Fire Department wants to make sure all homes are well protected and residents are prepared in the event of an evacuation. Educating and preparing the public is the first line of defence against home fires.

The City of Timmins, Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the public of hydrant flushing/watermain cleaning activities in the following areas:
Schumacher Area:
• Brundy Ave including Claimpost Tr., Miners Ave., Ennis St., Prospectors St and Delost Ave
Date of Disruption:
• May 20, 2026, from 8:00AM – 4:00PM
Homeowners and businesses within the notification area may experience short-term loss in water pressure or experience brown or rust-coloured water during the disruption. It is recommended not to drink or wash laundry with the discoloured water. While it is not harmful to your health, it can stain laundry. Should this occur, it is advised to turn off your tap for 10-20 minutes in order to allow the crew to finish the activity. Once the flushing is completed and the work crew has left the area, 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 colour has returned to normal.
Environmental Services Department would like to thank residents for their patience and cooperation during this necessary process.
