Road conditions are going to change quickly over the next few weeks as we feel the final effects of winter and temperatures begin to rise. What does that mean for drivers? The appearance of potholes and sloppy roads as the snow begins to melt.

Our Public Works Department continues to prioritize snow removal with the goal of getting as much snow off our streets ahead of spring rain. Crews will work to free up catch basins that are still blocked by snow and are necessary to drain surface water. Drivers are asked to use caution as the accumulated snow on our streets softens.

Crews are already addressing road conditions like potholes and ruts. A high-performance cold mix product will be used to temporarily patch holes and ruts ahead of the asphalt plant opening in May. The City’s pothole patcher is back on the road. Drivers are also asked to use caution when driving past road maintenance crews.

The City is required to fix a pothole within a prescribed period as determined by the Provincial government standards, depending on the size of the pothole and whether it is on a paved or an unpaved road. It is important to note that the City’s obligation to fix a pothole is triggered only after the municipality becomes aware of the problem. While we do have crews regularly patrolling the city, you can help by reporting any potholes you encounter. Potholes can be reported to Service Timmins online at service.timmins.ca under roads and sidewalks. You can also report a pothole by phone at 705-264-1331.

Service Timmins is one of six Ontario municipalities taking part in a pilot project that will streamline the marriage licence application process. Through the Marriage Licence Modernization Project, couples can now request a marriage licence online and once approved, pick up and pay for their completed licence at Service Timmins in City Hall.

Completing the online application will take 25-30 minutes and both applicants must be present to submit the application and pick up the licence. All required information and supporting documents must be approved in person at the time the licence is issued.

“Service Timmins is happy to participate in a project that will help us modernize one of our services,” says Director of Community Services, Steph Palmateer. “We typically receive roughly 200 marriage licence applications each year. By submitting the initial application online, residents can save time and have their application approved within 1-2 business days, provided that all required documents are submitted.”

Applying for and receiving a marriage licence comes with the standard $175 fee and the license is valid for use in Ontario for a period of three months.

For more information about applying for a marriage licence online, visit https://www.timmins.ca/our_services/marriage_license.
