The City of Timmins is proud to be among the first major donors supporting redevelopment of the Timmins and District Hospital (TADH) Emergency Department. This $2 million commitment was included in and approved through the City’s 2025 budget earlier this year, and will be allocated for this project over the next four years.
“Council’s early investment of $2 million reflects our commitment to help ensure that residents have access to excellent emergency care where and when they need it,” said Mayor Michelle Boileau. “We consider this a shared investment from every resident that will directly improve quality of life for more patients and families here in Timmins and across the region.”
The Ontario government recently announced plans to renovate and expand the hospital’s emergency department up to four times its current size. The project will add over 27,000 square feet, with increased patient capacity and space for dedicated emergency mental health care.
“I want to thank the Ontario government and specifically Minister George Pirie and Minister Sylvia Jones for their leadership and support,” adds Boileau. “A community that is connected to quality healthcare is a community that will continue to thrive.”
This investment builds on the City’s ongoing commitment to strengthen local healthcare, including support for physician recruitment through Timmins Economic Development, continued funding for the TADH Medical Specialist Building, and the redevelopment of the Golden Manor long-term care facility.
