Mayor Michelle Boileau and senior municipal staff will be representing Timmins at the 2025 Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) Conference, taking place in Ottawa from August 17 to 20, 2025.
This year, Timmins’ delegation will meet with Parliamentary Assistant Ric Bresee, Ministry of Transportation, to seek updates on provincial funding for Hwy. 67 (Municipal Rd.) and make a case for a northern bypass route to redirect heavy truck traffic away from the urban core.
“The proposed northern bypass is not just about moving traffic, it’s about ensuring the safe and efficient flow of goods, reducing wear on our roads, and supporting the industries that sustain our community,” said Mayor Michelle Boileau. “The AMO Conference gives us the chance to advocate directly to provincial decision-makers for investments that will benefit Timmins now and in the future.”
Mayor Boileau and senior staff will also meet with Solicitor General Michael Kerzner to address bail reform and rising policing costs, followed by a separate meeting with the Northern Ontario Large Urban Mayors (NOLUM) group to discuss broader northern policing priorities.
The AMO Conference is Ontario’s largest annual gathering of municipal leaders, providing a crucial platform to meet directly with provincial ministers, parliamentary assistants, and senior government staff.
