Snow Removal Schedule

With recent storms, and more snow on the way, the City of Timmins is trying to keep up with snow removal. Snow banks around the city are very high in some areas, and residents are wondering what is taking so long to have it cleared.

The 2014 snow removal budget is over, and the 2015 budget hasn’t been set yet. The issue will come up at the next council meeting on the 12th.

Full press release from the city:

From December 29th to January 2nd, the Public Works Department wishes to inform the public that crews will be doing snow removal in Timmins, West of Highway 655:

1. Monday Dec 29th, Timmins South – Maple South, Elm South, Windsor

3. Wednesday Dec 31st, Timmins South – Windsor, Middleton, Bannerman
4. Thursday Jan 1st – Happy New Year
