City Seeking Feedback on Proposed Locations for Temporary Shelter 
The City of Timmins is inviting residents to provide feedback on a proposed location for H.O.P.E (Housing, Outreach, Protection, and Engagement), an encampment response initiative in partnership with the Cochrane District Services Board. Before City Council decides to move forward, they are asking for the public’s input to help determine which location would best serve the community.

The City has identified four (4) potential locations on municipal land. The proposed plan would see modular units, similar to what is used in mining for remote camps, used to create up to 40 temporary shelter spaces. The H.O.P.E initiative would offer safe, secure shelter that addresses the immediate needs of people experiencing homelessness, while supporting the City’s efforts to manage encampments in public parks and spaces.

Residents can review each location and complete a short survey online from February 24 to March 14, 2025. The survey is available in French or English, and paper copies can also be picked up at Service Timmins. The City is committed to a structured and transparent community engagement process. Focus groups and partner discussions will also be conducted with community partners, service agencies, and people with lived or living experience of homelessness.
