Mayor Michelle Boileau and the elected councillors for each City ward, are set to host a new series of ward meetings to connect residents with the City’s latest projects, plans, and initiatives. Launching October 5, 2023 in Ward 1, the community meetings will offer an in-person opportunity to hear about capital projects like the Golden Manor redevelopment, and future plans specific to each of the five wards within Timmins.
Mayor and Council will also be highlighting the City’s budget process for 2024, which will include the City’s first public budget survey. Residents are being asked for their input on the next municipal budget and how they would like to see their tax dollars spent and invested.
“The ward meetings are about conversation and connection,” says Mayor Michelle Boileau. “Council relies on resident feedback to help inform municipal decisions. We all have email or social media, but let’s sit down in the same room and really dive into what’s important to the residents in each ward.”
Due to the size of Timmins Ward 5, the area has been split into Timmins North and Timmins South for the purpose of the ward meetings. Meeting details, agendas, ward maps, and boundaries, can be found at: https://www.timmins.ca/our_services/city_hall/mayor_and_council
“Engagement activities, like community meetings, help align the priorities of Council, the municipality, and the public,” adds Mayor Boileau. “We invite every resident in each ward to attend and learn more about what’s happening in their city.”
