The votes are in and Ontario's Most Active Community has chosen to spend the $7,500 prize money on a new rock-climbing wall for the Archie Dillon Sportsplex Pool.

In August, the City announced that Timmins' had won the provincial prize as part of the Participation Community Challenge. Residents were asked to vote on how they would like the $7,500 spent to enhance recreation and sport. 523 residents voted, with a rock-climbing wall for the local pool taking top spot with 134 votes.

63 "other" suggestions were made ranging from extra playground equipment in Porcupine to tennis courts at the park on Cedar St., all of which have been passed onto recreation, maintenance, and facilities. 

The $7,500 will now be applied towards the purchase of a rock-climbing wall for the Sportsplex pool, with the project added to the 2025 budget and slated for installation next year.
