Service Timmins is one of six Ontario municipalities taking part in a pilot project that will streamline the marriage licence application process. Through the Marriage Licence Modernization Project, couples can now request a marriage licence online and once approved, pick up and pay for their completed licence at Service Timmins in City Hall.

Completing the online application will take 25-30 minutes and both applicants must be present to submit the application and pick up the licence. All required information and supporting documents must be approved in person at the time the licence is issued.

“Service Timmins is happy to participate in a project that will help us modernize one of our services,” says Director of Community Services, Steph Palmateer. “We typically receive roughly 200 marriage licence applications each year. By submitting the initial application online, residents can save time and have their application approved within 1-2 business days, provided that all required documents are submitted.”

Applying for and receiving a marriage licence comes with the standard $175 fee and the license is valid for use in Ontario for a period of three months.

The best under 18 curlers hurried hard at the 2023 Under 18 Championships last week in Timmins. The event brought in 21 women’s teams and 21 men’s teams from across Canada to compete for the National Championship. It was a significant moment for the McIntyre Curling Club and an opportunity for Tourism Timmins to showcase all that our city has to offer.

How does an event like this impact the community?

Between Feb. 5 and 11, hotels in Timmins hit near sell out. Curling Canada estimates that 1000+ room nights are booked for U-18 Championship events by Curling Canada, not including fans and supporters. Rental agencies at Timmins Victor M. Power Airport reported approximately 100 vehicle rentals that week. 600+ guests visited the Timmins Museum: National Exhibition Centre and the museum’s gift shop tripled sales from the same time last year. 550 game tickets for the event were sold through the McIntyre Curling Club.

“The feedback from teams, visitors, and residents has been fantastic,” says Mayor Michelle Boileau. “The McIntyre Curling Club should be very proud in the efforts they put forward. It was a long week of exciting competition and it highlights how profitable large-scale sports tourism could be for our city and region.”

The event comes at a time when the City is working to update its Culture, Tourism, and Recreation Master Plan. Feedback is being collected through in-person engagement sessions, stakeholder meetings and an online public survey.

“The U-18’s were an example of how the City can work with local organizations to enhance recreation and tourism activities,” says Steph Palmateer, Director of Community Services and City Clerk. “We want to hear from residents, groups, and business owners on what we can do to further improve how the City supports events like the U-18 Championships. I also want to thank our maintenance and arena staff who worked to prepare the facility.”

To date, 885 responses to the public survey on culture, tourism and recreation have been collected. The survey can be filled out online before March 5, 2023 at: https://www.timmins.ca/our_services/recreation_services/c_t_r_master_plan_update_2023/take_the_s_u_r_v_e_y_now_.
