The Timmins Economic Development Corporation (TEDC) is soliciting public opinion regarding English-language post-secondary opportunities in the area through an English University Education in Timmins survey, which is now available at www.timminsedc.com.

Timmins and its catchment area comprise the 5th largest centre in Northern Ontario, yet lacks a local English University or campus. A major goal of the City is to broaden access to post- secondary education with a University presence. The end result is to establish a physical site for University-level education.

Sergeant Alan Richardson, Chair of the Timmins Olympic Torch Relay Community Celebration Committee announced today that a Timmins Community Olympic Youth Torch Relay will take place on December 9, 2009.

The event is being staged in advance of the Vancouver Olympic Torch Relay and Community Celebration scheduled to take place on Jan 1, 2010 at the Hollinger Park in Timmins.

According to Richardson, “a Youth Torch Relay involving 100 students from our community is a great way to engage the student population of Timmins in advance of the real relay. The activity should build and increase “top of mind” regarding the January 1 festivities and hopefully motivate the student population to come out and cheer the local runners.

Timmins' own Mark Torchia of The Torchia Group received the honour of being named Entrepreneur of the Year at the 23rd Annual Northern Ontario Business Awards (NOBA) held on October 8th in Sault Ste. Marie.
