Timmins City Council has directed administration to hire temporary overnight security to patrol a two-block radius around the emergency shelter on Spruce St. S.

Security will be in place for one month, with patrols scheduled nightly from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. The implementation date and cost are still being finalized.

The decision was made in response to safety concerns related to an encampment located in the laneway behind the shelter property. At the end of the one-month trial, Council has requested a report that includes data on service calls and security activities, as well as feedback from residents and property owners in the focus area.

City Council has approved $100,000 in funding through the City’s portion of the Municipal Accommodation Tax (MAT) to support the expansion of the Mountjoy Farmer’s Market.

Over the past two years, the Mountjoy Farmer’s Market has experienced tremendous growth, attracting more than 50 vendors to the popular Saturday market and prompting plans to expand the current pavilion.

The expansion project is estimated at $250,000. With $100,000 in support from the City, market organizers will actively pursue grant opportunities and building partnerships to secure the remaining funds.

The investment aligns with the goals of the MAT Tax to reinvest in tourism and community-driven projects that contribute to the local economy. The expansion is expected to make room for more vendors, support local entrepreneurs, and provide additional opportunities for cultural and community programming.

The Mountjoy Farmer’s Market currently operates on Saturday mornings, with the facility also available for rent throughout the week and across the season for a variety of events.

The City of Timmins is planning road and infrastructure reconstruction for Fourth Ave. in Schumacher. City Council has approved the engineering design contract to EXP Services in the amount of $593,855.

The project has been identified as a priority to address drainage, retaining wall, and aging underground water and waste water infrastructure. The approved design phase will provide a comprehensive plan that includes: evaluating the retaining wall with replacement options, addressing stormwater management and drainage, replacing underground infrastructure, and completing full road reconstruction.

The project will be phased over the next three years and funded through approved capital budgets for 2025-2027. The final design will be brought back to Council for review and approval before a construction tender is issued.
