If a person or public body would otherwise have an ability to appeal the decision of Council of the City of Timmins to the Ontario Land Tribunal but the person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the City of Timmins before the by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision.
If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting, or make written submissions to the City of Timmins before the by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Land Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

The City of Timmins Environmental Services Department wishes to advise the public of a scheduled water infrastructure repair which will affect the following area:
South Porcupine:
• Harold Ave. (Hwy 101) between Crawford St. & Moore St.
• Main St. between Harold Ave, & Fern Ave.
Date & Time of Disruption:
• December 9, 2025, from 10:00AM to 6:00PM
Homeowners and businesses within the notification area may experience short-term loss in water pressure, or water, or experience brown or rust-coloured water during the disruption.

Should this occur, it is advised to turn off your tap for 10-20 minutes in order to allow the crew to finish. Once the work is completed, 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 water colour has returned to normal.
