"Other challenges highlighted by the mayor during his state of the city address include the successful MPAC assessment appeals by a number of mining companies, the vastly over-budget Porcupine sewage pumping station, the need for upgrades at Golden Manor, the uncertainty of efforts to extend the life of Glencore’s Kidd Creek operations, as well as efforts to attract Noront’s ferrochrome smelter."

"I have talked extensively about the opportunities presented to Timmins by our location in the traditional territories of our Indigenous partners and to that end we met Wednesday with the grand chief of the Mushkegowuk, Jonathan Solomon, to reignite the long-dormant Mushkegowuk-Timmins Economic Alliance,” Pirie said.

“This alliance will bring together the City of Timmins and the First Nation communities of the Mushkegowuk Council — Attawapiskat First Nation, Chapleau Cree, Fort Albany First Nation, Kashechewan First Nation, Missanabie Cree, Moose Cree First Nation and Taykwa Tagamou Nation (formerly New Post).

“The vision is to improve collaboration between Mushkegowuk Council and the City of Timmins to foster long-term sustainable economic growth in the city and the seven Mushkegowuk communities.”
