Canada turns 159 on July 1. Let’s celebrate our nation’s birthday together at Gillies Lake. The City of Timmins has a full day of fun planned with live entertainment, delicious food, and a spectacular fireworks display.
Residents and visitors can enjoy more inflatable attractions from Amaze N’ Fun, local artisan and vendor booths, face painting, and more. The City has teamed up with McIntyre Catering to provide complimentary hamburgers, hotdogs, and a vegetarian option, along with bottled water, while supplies last.
The celebration begins at 2:00 p.m. at Gillies Lake, with live local music starting at 4:00 p.m. and fireworks lighting up the night sky just after sunset at 9:45 p.m.
Plan ahead, there are a number of free parking options available a short distance from the park. On July 1, free on-street parking will be available at all municipal meters and City lots including, the Spruce N. Lot, Algonquin Lot, Third Ave. Lot, Pine S. Lot, Library Lot, and Coalition Lot (Timmins Transit).
The Mattagami Region Conservation Authority (MRCA) parking lot will be reserved for accessible parking and pick-up/drop-off, with a limited number of spaces available. The parking lot off Hwy. 655 will be closed from 6:00 a.m. on June 30 through July 1 to allow for fireworks set-up and display. We also remind residents and guests that parking is prohibited along Lakeshore Rd.
