Car Shipping Timmins, Auto Transport Ontario
Timmins at the time of the 2011 Census had a population of 43,165, a slight increase from 42,997 in the 2006 Census after successive decreases in 1991, 1996, and 2001.
During the late 17th century, the Hudson’s Bay Company and the North West Company planted several trading posts in northern Ontario. To get their furs to market as soon as possible they developed the Porcupine Trail, a trading route that passed directly through present-day Timmins.
After favorable provincial geological surveys, railway construction northward, and major silver discoveries in 1907, the region became a destination for prospectors exploring the areas around Porcupine Lake. In 1909, two prospectors discovered a rich vein of gold that led to the Dome Mine, the Porcupine Gold Rush began, and a huge mining camp formed a few kilometers east of modern Timmins.
Timmins was a company town founded by Noah Timmins in 1912 following the gold discoveries of the Porcupine Camp. By 1912 the Hollinger, MacIntyre, and Big Dome Mines were active. The City of Timmins owes its birthright to the rich metal deposits of the Canadian Shield.
Extension of the rail system around Timmins in 1911 accelerated the growth of the camp. Until then, travel to Porcupine was by canoe and foot from Haileybury more than 100 miles to the southeast. In 1912, Noah Timmins founded the town to house Hollinger Mine workers. The 1920s and 1930s were prosperous. The Great Depression did not harm the area economy.
Then came the decline of the gold mines in the 1950s, but the discovery of base metals in the 1960s restored the mining industry, and today the city continues to prosper from additional gold, zinc, copper, nickel, and silver discoveries.
In 1973, the Ontario provincial government combined all the municipal jurisdictions within a 1,200-square mile area into a Corporation of the City of Timmins. In the 1990s, the City of Timmins became a regional service and distribution center. Key industries are now forestry, wood-product manufacturing, and metal fabrication in addition to mining.
