The City of Timmins is proud to be among the first major donors supporting redevelopment of the Timmins and District Hospital (TADH) Emergency Department. This $2 million commitment was included in and approved through the City’s 2025 budget earlier this year, and will be allocated for this project over the next four years.
“Council’s early investment of $2 million reflects our commitment to help ensure that residents have access to excellent emergency care where and when they need it,” said Mayor Michelle Boileau. “We consider this a shared investment from every resident that will directly improve quality of life for more patients and families here in Timmins and across the region.”
The Ontario government recently announced plans to renovate and expand the hospital’s emergency department up to four times its current size. The project will add over 27,000 square feet, with increased patient capacity and space for dedicated emergency mental health care.
“I want to thank the Ontario government and specifically Minister George Pirie and Minister Sylvia Jones for their leadership and support,” adds Boileau. “A community that is connected to quality healthcare is a community that will continue to thrive.”
This investment builds on the City’s ongoing commitment to strengthen local healthcare, including support for physician recruitment through Timmins Economic Development, continued funding for the TADH Medical Specialist Building, and the redevelopment of the Golden Manor long-term care facility.

The City of Timmins Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the public of emergency watermain break within the following area:
Timmins West:
• Roblin St. from Riverside Dr to Lawlor Ave.
Date & Time of Disruption:
• October 10, 2025 – 8:00AM to 8:00PM
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.

The City of Timmins has launched a new online registration platform for short-term rental properties in compliance with By-law 2025-9085. Effective January 14, 2025, all local short-term rental properties were required to register with the City as a business and charge a 4% Municipal Accommodation Tax (MAT) on all short-term stays.
The online system makes it easier for property owners to apply for a business license, register their rental, and submit required license fees and MAT payments. Payments are due monthly and apply to all short-term rental bookings completed since January 14, 2025. Any owners identified as unregistered will be required to remit backdated MAT payments to this start date.
The City is working with Granicus, a short-term rental compliance solution, that supports owners and operators, while also providing the City’s Enforcement Services with tools to locate short-term rental listings, verify registrations, and confirm that MAT payments are being properly remitted.
The City is encouraging all short-term rental property owners to complete their registration now through the online platform. Over the next 60 days, Enforcement Services will begin contacting property owners directly who are not in compliance.
For more information on short-term rental requirements: www.timmins.ca/doing_business/business_licensing/short-_term_rental_operators___hosts.
