May 17, 2019 - The information contained in this update has been gathered by Ontario Power Generation, the Ministry of Natural Resources & Forestry and the Mattagami Region Conservation Authority. Updates will be issued until such time any flood threat has passed. The Timmins Flood Advisory Committee continues to meet on a daily basis to review current conditions. Currently, there is a Flood Warning for the Mattagami River. This Flood Warning will remain in effect until May 21, and then re-evaluated based on current conditions. Stream flows on the Mattagami River remain high and are expected to stay that way for the next few weeks. Water levels on the Upper Mattagami River remain higher than normal. Due to the continued snow melt, inflows remain high and reservoirs upstream (Mesomikenda, Mattagami, Peterlong, and Wawaitin-Kenogamissi) are filling quickly, and are also experiencing higher than normal water levels. As the snow melt comes to an end, local inflows are expected to decrease; however, water levels will likely remain higher than normal for the next few weeks. Flows through the City of Timmins are being managed in consultation with the Timmins Flood Advisory Committee in an attempt to balance water levels on reservoirs upstream and mitigate further flooding through the City. The Mattagami Region Conservation Authority and the Timmins Flood Advisory Committee are the leads on flood management and are encouraging residents in low-lying areas to be prepared in the event of flooding. All information and resources regarding potential flooding updates and preparedness can be found at mrca.timmins.ca Sand bag filling stations have been set up at the following locations if you require bags to protect your property: - Mountjoy Arena, Timmins - Confederation Sports Centre “We are strongly encouraging residents not to become complacent,” said Fire Chief Tom Laughren. “Please be pro-active and take precautions to protect yourselves and your property. We are aware that a lot of residents take the opportunity to finally get back out to their camps on May Run, but we are encouraging residents in potential flood zones to ensure their properties continue to be monitored until we are in the clear.”
TAKE NOTICE that the City of Timmins will correct a zoning inaccuracy in the City of Timmins Zoning By-law 2011-7100 as per Section 4.14.1 of the City of Timmins Official Plan. Location: Concession 6, North Part of Lot 8, BG Registered Plan 6R4943, Parts 1 and 2, Parcel 13178WT, Tisdale Township, City of Timmins (3121 Highway 655) ​THE PURPOSE AND EFFECT of the proposed technical amendment is to allow for a correction to Schedule 1 of the City of Timmins Zoning By-law 2011-7100. ​The property was the subject of a rezoning application in 1987, approved by City of Timmins Council on November 9,1987, by By-law No. 1987-2863. The purpose and effect of that by-law rezoned the subject lands to Rural Wilderness (AW) as per the former City of Timmins Zoning By-law No. 1977-850. The current City of Timmins Zoning By-law 2011-7100 identifies the subject lands as Mineral Extraction (RD-MX), however, the zoning of the property should be Rural (RD-RU). In the current City of Timmins Zoning By-law 2011-7100, the Rural (RD-RU) Zone is the former Rural Wilderness (AW) Zone, as per By-law No. 1977-850. This technical amendment is reverting the subject lands back to the zone approved by Council in 1987. As per Section 4.14.1 of City of Timmins Official Plan, notification to and consultation with the public is not required for technical amendments, however, notice of the proposed amendment is to be published in the newspaper and posted on the City of Timmins Website. Additional information relating to the proposed technical Zoning By-law Amendment is available by contacting Cindy Welsh, MCIP, RPP, Manager of Planning at the Planning Division, 220 Algonquin Boulevard East, Timmins, Ontario, telephone number 705-360-2600, ext. 3377. Dated at the City of Timmins this 17th day of May, 2019.

May 16, 2019 UPDATE - The City of Timmins is currently undergoing repairs after determining the extent of the damage, and are hoping to have the work completed today. Properties along Riverside Drive, between McBride and Emerald are still out of water. Should residents still be experience coloured water, please see instructions below. May 15, 2019 - Please be advised that water has been restored to most of the Mountjoy area, excluding properties from Emerald to McBride, on the south side only. Where water has recently been restored, residents may see some discolouration. It is recommended not to drink or wash laundry with the discoloured water. While it is not harmful to your health, it can stain laundry. Should this occur, it is advised to turn on the COLD water tap closest to the source (usually your laundry tub tap) and let it run for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the water colour has returned to normal. Excavation has begun to determine the issue. We can confirm that this is not the water main that was relined last summer. City staff would like to thank residents for their patience and cooperation, and advise that if there are any questions, concerns or requests for additional information, they may contact Service Timmins at 705-264-1331 or email servicetimmins@timmins.ca. After-hours emergencies should be directed to 705-264-1201.
May 13, 2019 - For obvious safety reasons linked to rising water levels of the Mattagami River, a portion of McChesney Road has been closed, as of yesterday afternoon, by the Timmins Police Service. This measure was deemed necessary by the Timmins Police Service in consultation with the City of Timmins - Public Works Department, City of Timmins Fire Department and the Mattagami Region Conservation Authority. The affected area has been clearly marked with road closures signs (local traffic only) which have been placed just south of the school bus entrance on McChesney Road. Other similar barricades and signage (road closure – local traffic only) have been erected prohibiting traffic at the back entrance of Timmins High and Vocational School, commonly known as Auxilia Avenue. This perimeter is in place to prevent motorists from placing themselves at undue risk by entering into unsafe areas and proceeding onto this closed section of roadway with their vehicles. This road closure is expected to remain in full effect for the next few days as the situation is being actively monitored by safety officials. The objective of this road closure is to preserve public safety. Full compliance is required of all motorists until the situation improves and the roadway can be re-opened.
