From the meeting
At the September 14, 2026 meeting, council approved the transition to Northern Communication Services Inc. for primary 9-1-1 public safety answering point services after the Timmins Police Service discontinues the current role. The motion authorized staff to proceed with implementation and authorized the mayor and clerk to execute the agreement.
This is a decided public safety communications change with implementation work still ahead. The named provider and transition timing are the key buying signals.
