The City of Timmins Public Works Department is declaring a Significant Weather Event in accordance with the Minimum Maintenance Standards for Municipal Highways (Ontario Regulation 239/02), effective 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 28, 2025.
Weather Forecast
• Snow beginning Sunday evening and continuing through Monday night
• Strong northwesterly winds increasing Monday morning, producing blizzard conditions
• Snow and winds easing from west to east Monday night
• Total projected snowfall: 30 to 50 cm
• Wind gusts of 60 to 70 km/h, resulting in poor visibility and drifting snow
Roads and walkways are expected to be extremely difficult to navigate. Travel conditions may become hazardous, with visibility at times reduced to near zero.
Environment Canada advises residents to consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve.
Due to the anticipated volume of snowfall, delays in snow plowing are expected on some city streets, roads, and most sidewalks. City resources will be deployed when conditions are deemed safe and appropriate.
Timmins Transit
Severe weather may impact Timmins Transit operations. Service delays and/or cancellations may occur. Updates will be communicated through the City’s website and social media channels.
Important Reminders
• The Winter Parking Ban remains in effect. Parking on city streets is prohibited daily between 11:30 p.m. and 7:30 a.m. from November 1 to April 30, unless otherwise posted.
• City By-law 1993-4162 prohibits placing snow from private property onto city roads or sidewalks.
The City of Timmins thanks residents for their cooperation. A follow-up notice will be issued to announce the conclusion of the Significant Weather Event once conditions permit.
