Timmins Transit bus services remain suspended after five days of strike action, with no confirmed date on when negotiations will resume. The City is encouraging CUPE Local 1544 to return to the bargaining table so that a sustainable agreement can be reached.

“Despite the workers walking off the job, we remain committed to reaching a final agreement that balances the needs of transit staff, while being fiscally responsible to taxpayers,” said CAO Dave Landers.

The Timmins Transit strike is currently impacting all transit services including conventional bus, paratransit service, and the Northern College Express.

Riders who had pre-purchased their October bus pass can receive a full refund by contacting Timmins Transit at (705) 360-2600 ext. 3500, Monday to Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

New youth recreation and water safety programs are coming soon to the Archie Dillon Sportsplex Pool thanks to grant funding provided by Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities, a national charity that helps kids overcome barriers to sport and recreation. Like Jumpstart, the City of Timmins is committed to ensuring that all children have equal access to sport and recreation. Through the City’s Community Safety and Well-Being Plan, we are working hard to provide activities that build healthy, confident, and connected youth.

With Jumpstart’s help, the City will introduce three free programs:

  • Friday Night Youth Swim Club (ages 8-17) – a weekly swim program that focuses on engagement, recreation, peer connection, physical safety, and water safety awareness.
  • Swim to Survive (Grade 7 students) – providing essential survival skills beyond basic swimming, and designed to build confidence in deep water and promote teamwork.
  • Festive Splash Camp (ages 6-12, inclusive of children with accessibility requirements) – a holiday break program that encourages physical activity, confidence in water, and opportunities for all children to participate.

“With support from Jumpstart, we are able to expand opportunities for kids and teens to stay active, connect with peers, and gain valuable life skills,” said Meagan Baranyk, Community Programs Manager. “We share Jumpstart’s belief that sports and recreation are more than activities, they are investments in the well-being and future of local youth.”

Each program is aligned with the City’s Community Safety and Well-Being priority to promote youth engagement and inclusivity. Participation in all programs is free of charge thanks to Jumpstart’s support. Details on registration will be provided soon through the Archie Dillon Sportsplex Pool.

The City of Timmins Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the public of emergency watermain break within the following area:

Mountjoy Area:
Camille St between Shirley St. and Gatineau Blvd.

Date & Time of Disruption:
October 1, 2025 – 8:00AM to 5:00PM

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. Once the work is completed, 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 Service Department would like to thank residents for their patience and cooperation during this emergency work.

The City has launched our 2026 municipal budget survey, an opportunity for residents to share feedback on how property tax revenue is collected, invested, and spent.

Property taxes, when combined with program and user fees, facility rentals, and additional funding sources, make up the available money (revenue) collected by the City. This revenue funds the services, infrastructure, and projects that residents rely on daily. All of this is summarized in the municipal budget – an itemized plan for the revenue coming in and the expenditures going out.

The budget process begins each June with department reviews and budget preparation. It’s a months-long process that ends with City Council’s approval of the taxation fund and the setting of next year’s municipal tax rates. Part of this process includes asking residents to provide input on items such as City services, value for tax dollar, and investments in capital projects. Public engagement on budget and municipal spending, helps ensure transparency and informed decision-making.

The online survey is available now until October 30, 2025, in both French and English. It takes only 4-5 minutes to complete and is fully anonymous.

To learn more about the how the City budget works and the process for approving the 2026 Municipal Budget, visit: www.timmins.ca/our_services/finance/city_budget_2026.
