Timmins is a city in northeastern Ontario, Canada on the Mattagami River. At the time of the Canada 2011 Census, its population was 43,165. At 2,961.52 square kilometres (1,143.45 sq mi), Timmins was Canada's largest municipality in land area until 1995, when the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo in Alberta, was created, but it remained the largest municipality in Ontario until 2001, when it was superseded by the newly amalgamated cities of Kawartha Lakes and Greater Sudbury. It is the 69th largest metropolitan area in Canada. The statistical boundaries for its metropolitan area coincide with its municipal boundaries.
Timmins was a company town. It was founded by Noah Timmins in 1912 following gold discoveries in the Porcupine Camp. By 1912 the Hollinger, MacIntyre, and Big Dome Mines were founded. The new town had already grown larger than the original mining camps to the east on Porcupine Lake. Situated 680 kilometres north of Toronto, the camp attracted men and women eager to find their fortune in gold mining. Starting in 1907, the area became home to dozens of prospectors who explored the areas around Porcupine Lake and the Frederick House River. The City of Timmins owes its birthright to the riches of the Canadian Shield. On June 9, 1909, Harry Preston slipped on a rocky knoll and the heels of his boots stripped the moss to reveal a large vein of gold, which later became the Dome Mine. This vein was several hundred feet in length and was 150 feet wide. Benny Hollinger and his partner Alex Gillies as well as Allen McMartinlater discovered the Hollinger Gold Mine which was founded in 1910.
Ontario (i/ɒnˈtɛərioʊ/) is one of the ten provinces of Canada, located in east-central Canada. It is Canada's most populous province by a large margin, accounting for nearly 40 percent of all Canadians, and is the second largest province in total area. Ontario is fourth largest in total area when the territories of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut are included. It is home to the nation's capital city, Ottawa, and the nation's most populous city, Toronto.
Ontario is bordered by the province of Manitoba to the west, Hudson Bay and James Bay to the north, and Quebec to the east, and to the south by the US states of (from west to east) Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. All of Ontario's 2,700 km (1,678 mi) border with the United States follows inland waterways: from the west at Lake of the Woods, eastward along the major rivers and lakes of the Great Lakes/Saint Lawrence River drainage system. These are the Rainy River, the Pigeon River, Lake Superior, the St. Marys River, Lake Huron, the St. Clair River, Lake St. Clair, the Detroit River, Lake Erie, the Niagara River, Lake Ontario and along the St. Lawrence River from Kingston, Ontario, to the Quebec boundary just east of Cornwall, Ontario.
A Short Drive Through Timmins, Ontario in January 2016
I am so glad I quit cigarettes and also that I no longer live in Timmins Ontario.
Here is a tune for all of my family and friends in and from Timmins. The music and lyrics were written by David Hartt and some of you may remember him as Guy Martin, the keyboard and the original lead vocalist and founder of the band Longshot well before the days Shania joined. One thing that you may not be aware of with David Hartt is that he wrote many songs about our small towns, and the history of the people who lived in and for these communities throughout Northern Ontario. The lyrics from David in these songs I always believed to be stunning as I also believed David had a gift in telling these wonderful Northern Ontario stories and its people, in words and music. This song (Precious Memories) is about Timmins, and we recorded it in Round Sound Studies located in Toronto way back...

**UPDATE: The city council met and discussed the concerns people were having. Looks like more discussion about various parts of the strategy are under way. They will not be using the quote below any further. Timmins is getting rebranded and we don't agree with what the strategy is making Timmins out to be. http://www.timmins.ca/news-releases/timmins-branding-strategy Quote from the Article: "Tim Hortons, not Starbucks Ford F-150, not VW Bug John Wayne, not Hugh Grant Steak, not sushi Hockey, not ribbon dancing The Magnificent Seven, not Wuthering Heights" Our singer, Kylah Eide's youtube page: http://www.youtube.com/user/KylahEide Here is our satirical take on that section of the city's rebranding: Gimme ma Timmies n' keep on truckin' Keep your Kia, get away from my Ford Singin' songs...
