History

Timmins is a town that cherishes its history. It certainly never shied away from the sacrifices that made it the town it is today.

The Porcupine Miners Memorial was unveiled in 2008 to commemorate the passing of 594 miners that perished throughout the region’s history.  The statue features a mother and two children to symbolize the families that carry on the memory of their fallen loved ones.
