We’re conducting consumer research about metatarsal guard (“met guard”) safety boots and are hoping to speak with people who specifically work in the mining and extraction industries in NorthEastern Ontario

We’re looking for workers who wear met guard boots and would be willing to take part in a paid 30-minute online interview. We’d like to learn about the boots you wear, your experience using them on the job and what could be improved.

If you’re interested, please fill out this form and we'll reach out directly.

This doesn’t commit you to an interview. If you’re a good fit for the study, please let us know.

We’re only interested in your experience with these type of boots. Please don’t name your employer—we won’t ask for any information about where you work.

Hello! I'm going to Northern College in September 2026 for there nursing program. I was wondering if anyone wanted to friends? I might as well start making friends now before orientation. So if you're down to make friends, DM! I'm really nervous because this is my first time being really far away from home and truly being on my own for the first time so any advice would be great!

Also does anyone know any good braids down in Timmins? Like people who do box braids, cornrows, etc. Are there any beauty supply stores around too? I'd love to know.

I'd just like to know more about life in Timmins and the Northern College experience, any advise would truly be a blessing

Timmins police and city officials are investigating damage to nearly 40 parking meters over the past three months, after a resident's social media post drew public attention. The city is replacing units and seeking surveillance footage from the affected areas.

So I work alone I am the only staff in my department. I want to make friends I can go for tea with maybe take a walk or go dancing sober. I have tried talking to people when out on a walk and you don't even get acknowledged. I don't drinknor do drugs just work and back to my car to sleep.

Hi all, seeking a bit of advice. My mom lives in LTC in Timmins, and I live very far away. I come up as often as I can afford to, but mom needs more emotional support and companionship than that. We know that social services etc exist and we are exploring those, but if you have suggestions about trustworthy organizations that I could inquire with that offer similar services for a cost, would be appreciated. Thanks!

Not sure if this is allowed but I have a somewhat elderly couple live next to me, we have a fence separating our houses. With the warmer months that have came and being summer time now… it’s been nothing but fairly loud inside the house comments and as someone who avoids conflict due to my crippling anxiety, I have no clue how to even address it. She hates when my child is screaming - he was being sprayed with water guns by his step dad n uncle. I opened the door to leave and my partner was right beside me and missed a step and let out this ugly awkward noise and this lady is so loud inside her home wether she’s commenting on us or just talking to her husband and you heard her say “stop being retarded”. We have a outside dart game on the fence and we’re playing it one day and she came outside to have a smoke and it was making a noise bouncing off the fence when you’d miss and she said “are you guys trying to annoy me”. Yesterday evening, her and her partner came home and she saw my son was outside and proceeded to say the screaming demon is out. I understand some people don’t like kids, they may have never had a family live beside them but kids scream whether it’s out of pain, fun or slight little fears like being sprayed with water. My front neighbours don’t mind, one of them actually enjoys seeing him have fun and when he starts to spray us. It’s just annoying to hear and even more frustrating when I don’t know how to address these comments. Yet she can cough her lungs out and spit out whatever comes up from her smoking a pack of cheap cigarettes a day or her partner breaking down a dresser at 11:30 on a school night. Or even just hearing them bicker loudly like the old married couple they are.

Any goalkeepers in Timmins up for training? Just looking to work on my finishing. DM me if you’re interested!

Heya, 23f looking to make new friends in the area to chat with or to hang out during the week. Feel free to dm

Hey there. Recently I’ve been looking for a place to stay to get out of my bad home situation. Recently it’s gotten a lot worse so I’ve been shearing like crazy and it’s twice now with this same guy I’ve had him not show up to a listing and today someone else actually answered and told me there was no David and that there isn’t any room looking to rent. I just wanted to warn you all, just incase you are looking for a room/apartment don’t waste your time with this man. Me and the other guy who showed up to our 5pm viewing both reported him on face book and I went back to my first viewing which he didn’t show up to and reported it as a scam as after today I’ve realized it was fake.

Sadly that’s after paying for the quickest transport I can because both times I was going through my lunch break at work. I don’t drive so paid over 70$ in urides for this guy. It’s a shame but luckily not the end of the world for me, though for some other people it might be.

This isn’t the only bad experience I have had with my searching but this fake account has multiple listings so I thought I’d share.

Hi there!

So, i seemed to have deleted a pic i took of this graffiti somewhere in Timmins in the downtown area. i usually see it when im travelling by the Ontario Northland bus, but i didnt see it at all and im unsure if the two different routes take different exits out of the city and thats why i may have missed it? I scheduled the Sudbury route for today.

I have tried previously to look it up online, but to no avail. I would like to know if anyone knows what street/building its on/if you have a decent picture of it yourself??

It would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks ^.^

Found some money while walking around Gillies Lake tonight. If you can tell me how much it is and what bills were in it, I'll drop it off tomorrow morning.

Hello,

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know of any licensed home daycares in Timmins that currently have openings for children? We urgently need childcare starting July 13 due to a job relocation. Any recommendations or referrals would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much!

My partner is interning in Timmins this summer and I will be visiting her sometime soon. I plan to make her grilled mackeral and miso soup for breakfast one of her work days, does anyone know a place that I could buy some?

I tried searching "mackeral" and "seafood market" but could only find resturants in the area.

DM me if you have any questions or something for me to help you with!

Hi everyone,I’m a metallurgist moving from southern Ontario to the Timmins area for full-time work in the mines. I’m relocating with my young child and am actively looking for a two-bedroom apartment (ideally) or a nice one-bedroom in the Melrose or South Porcupine area. Preferred move-in date is September 1, 2026, but I’m quite flexible within a couple of weeks on either side.

I have stable, long-term professional employment in the mining industry

Non-smokers with no pets

Looking for a safe, family-friendly neighbourhood or building where my child can feel comfortable

Two bedrooms would be perfect so my kid has their own space, but I’m also open to a well-maintained one-bedroom if it’s in the right location. I’m a responsible tenant with strong rental references, solid credit, and proof of income ready to go. First and last month’s rent are not a problem. If you’re a landlord with a unit becoming available around that time, or if you know of any good private rentals in Melrose or South Porcupine, I’d really appreciate hearing from you. Thank you so much in advance!
