1 week ago | mytimminsnow.com | Bob McIntyre

April 22nd is Earth Day every year – that’s next Tuesday this year – and the city of Timmins is marking it by offering free bus rides on Timmins Transit.

Over the next few weeks in our Timmins history feature, we’ll learn about some colourful characters from the mining camp’s past, with local historian Karen Bachmann. “And boy, are there a lot of them to pick from,” she says.

We’re wrapping up our local history series on the beginnings of the fur trade in our region with the market for Canadian fur in Europe. Local historian Karen Bachmann says that in the 17th century, the demand was to make elaborate fur hats, of all things. “The French were first here, Radisson and Groseilliers, which were two French traders who came in through Hudson’s Bay and really got into the fur trading with the Indigenous communities around here,” she says.
