Timmins
Timmins is located in the heartland of the greatest mineral producing area in the Western Hemisphere. Timmins is thriving, sprawling (Canada's largest city by area) city with a prosperity anchored in mining. The Hollinger Gold Mine, once the richest gold producer in the western hemisphere with total gold production of $400 million, when gold was selling for $35 to $40 an ounce!

Today Timmins still is a leading producer of gold and silver, but has diversified the economy with a strong forestry and regional service base. As the largest community in the James Bay Frontier, Timmins offers a wide variety of natural, cultural and recreational diversions. Timmins, the home of singer Shania Twain, has an abundance of spring, summer and fall recreation opportunities as well. Nearby lakes and rivers afford many opportunities for canoeing, fishing, camping, hunting or summer cottage rentals. It's all here, waiting for you!
