Staff at the City or Timmins’ Golden Manor have begun the important work of preparing for resident moves and future room assignments at the new long-term care facility. As construction continues, transition planning and outreach is underway for residents, families, and caregivers.
This week, letters are being distributed to residents and families outlining the move-in process, including anticipated timelines and room types. To help residents and the community better visualize the new home, the City has released resident room renderings and floor layouts that showcase the design, sample furnishings, and living spaces.
As part of the transition process, residents and families will also have the opportunity to provide feedback on room preferences, including floor level, window direction, and preferred roommates or floormates where possible.
Additional updates on tours, move-in schedules, and resident transition supports will continue to be shared over the coming months. The Golden Manor build is nearing 90% completion with resident move-in and final Ministry of Long-Term Care approvals anticipated this fall.

Work to replace the Evans St. Bridge is beginning, with contractors in town this week for a “soft” mobilization to conduct utility relocations and prepare traffic controls ahead of construction.
The project includes the replacement of the existing bridge with a new single-span concrete box girder structure with new sidewalk, upgraded barrier wall to improve pedestrian safety, and improved water flow capacity under the bridge to help reduce runoff blockages in the spring. Construction will be completed over two years because of required in-water work restrictions.
Due to the lack of a direct detour route, traffic will be maintained on the bridge using single-lane alternate traffic controls with temporary signal lights. Vehicles and pedestrians will be diverted to the east side of the bridge while reconstruction begins on the west side.
Motorists should expect delays and allow for additional travel time, particularly during peak hours. Residents are reminded to slow down and follow traffic signals through the active construction zone.

At approximately 6:59 p.m. on Sunday, May 24, 2026, the Timmins Fire Department responded to a fire at the Deloro Landfill on Pine St. S.
Crews from Station 5 were dispatched following reports of black smoke visible along Pine St. S. Firefighters arrived to find a large fire at the landfill site. Additional tankers from Stations 1, 3, and 4 responded to the scene.
Waste operators assisted crews during suppression efforts with heavy equipment. The fire was fully contained. The Timmins Fire Department wishes to remind the public of the importance of staying away from emergency scenes. Increased traffic becomes a hazard for emergency vehicles when required to shuttle water.
