The City of Timmins, Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the public of a scheduled water infrastructure maintenance affecting the following area:

South Porcupine Area:
The Connecting Link: from Crawford St. to Lawrence St. along Hwy 101 E.

Date and Time of Disruption:
July 2, 2025, from 8:00 PM to 11:59 PM.

Properties in the area may experience brown or rust-coloured water during the schedule water maintenance. 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 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 colour has returned to normal.

Environmental Services Department would like to thank residents for their patience and cooperation during this scheduled work.

The City of Timmins is proud to reaffirm the Freedom of the City to The Algonquin Regiment, recognizing the unit’s 125 years of service, sacrifice, and connection to the people of Northern Ontario.

Freedom of the City is one of the most esteemed honours a municipality can bestow upon a military unit. Rooted in a centuries-old tradition, it symbolizes deep trust and respect. In medieval times, fortified cities only granted military units entry when absolute confidence existed in their intentions. Today, this ceremonial privilege grants a regiment the right to march through the city “with drums beating, colours flying, and bayonets fixed.”

First granted to The Algonquin Regiment by the City of Timmins in 1977, this reaffirmation celebrates the regiment’s legacy as Northern Ontario’s oldest Army Reserve infantry regiment and its enduring role as protector, partner, and community member.


Quotes:

“For 125 years, The Algonquin Regiment has served with distinction. Their roots in our region run deep, and their contributions—both at home and abroad—have earned them the respect and gratitude of our community. We are honoured to reaffirm the Freedom of the City in recognition of their long history and continued service.”
- Mayor Michelle Boileau, City of Timmins

“The Freedom of the City is a proud tradition that reflects the enduring relationship between the Algonquin Regiment and the people of Timmins. This ceremony is a symbol of mutual respect and shared history, and we are honoured to continue that legacy alongside the community we serve.”
- Lieutenant Colonel Kirk Langdon, Commanding Officer, The Algonquin Regiment
