The City of Timmins has introduced a new and convenient way for residents and businesses to connect with Service Timmins. Service Timmins Chat is a live chat feature that is now available on both www.timmins.ca and service.timmins.ca, providing fast, accessible support directly from the City’s webpage or customer service portal.
Service Timmins Chat can be accessed by clicking the icon located in the bottom right corner of the page. With a single click, users can expand the chat window and begin a conversation with a Service Timmins representative in real time. Live chat interactions are managed alongside incoming phone calls in a priority sequence during regular Service Timmins business hours, Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
This new feature is part of the City’s ongoing commitment to modernizing services and improving customer experience. A soft launch of Service Timmins Chat began on March 16, allowing staff to test and refine the system. Since that time, more than 220 inquiries have already been received through the platform.
With Service Timmins Chat, users can get help while working or managing other tasks. Live chat helps reduce barriers related to language, hearing, or mobility challenges, and may feel less intimidating than in-person or phone interactions. Unlike phone conversations, live chat provides a transcript that can be saved, allowing residents to review information after the call.
For more information or to start a conversation, visit www.timmins.ca and service.timmins.ca.

Reduced load restrictions for commercial motor vehicles and trailers will come into effect on Friday, April 3, 2026 on specific highways and streets within the City of Timmins. By-law 2006-6275 governs load restrictions to protect our roads and highways during the spring thaw, when damage is most likely to occur. A list of applicable roads is included under Schedule A.
The City’s Public Works Department uses the Ministry of Transportation’s Reduced Load Period (RLP) Table to determine the timing of these restrictions. The table uses frost depth, moisture levels, and daily air temperatures to indicate when reduced load restrictions should be put in place and when they can be lifted. This ensures that road infrastructure is protected while supporting the trucking and haulage industry by removed reduced load restrictions when conditions allow.
This year’s restrictions are coming into effect approximately two weeks later than in 2025, as winter has been reluctant to go away.
Roads where reduced loads are in effect will have signage posted. Learn more about the how the City is working to maintain our roads online at https://www.timmins.ca/our_services/roads_and_infrastructure.
