      vs

      Timmins, ON

      Timmins is one of the largest cities in Canada in terms of land, but it has a population of just over 40,000 people. The city is located in Northern Ontario, with most of it not being developed. This is because of its industries, which are related to lumber and mining. Its ore deposits is actually how the city was created, though in the past it was a company town. Later, gold was found, which grew the city even more and gave it its nickname; ‘City with the Heart of Gold’. Today, Timmins is a city that is rich in culture and history, and is the fourth-largest city in Northeastern Ontario.

      The Mattagami River runs along the west edge of the city’s core, while Highway 101 cuts through it from east to west. Downtown Timmins is on the south side of the highway, which is the liveliest area. The north side of the highway is predominately residential, though the most expensive area of Timmins is along the west side of the river, as these dwellings boast fabulous views of the city centre across the river.

      There is a large Francophone community in Timmins, which is great when it comes to schooling, as there are both English- and French-language schools. There are also four post-secondary institutions in the city, two of which teach their courses in French. Another great thing about living in Timmins is its recreational activities, which is thanks to its location. It is a great place for golf, snowmobiling, ice skating, camping and fishing. Most Timmons residents will also mention its parks, particularly Hollinger Park, which features a baseball diamond, two soccer fields and an open area for relaxing and enjoying a picnic.

      Tourism plays a part in Timmins economy, so there are some great attractions that even locals can enjoy. Some of these are culturally based, like the Pioneer Museum, La Galeruche Art Gallery and the Timmins Museum. Being such an old city, there are also numerous historic landmarks, including Saint Anthony of Padoua Cathedral, St. Alphonsus Church and the McIntyre Headframe. Take a nice walk along Gold Mine Road to see the site of some old mines, and Downtown Timmins, which is home to the Walk of Fame and numerous historic buildings, many of which now house quaint restaurants and local shops.
