Description & Services
Public Comments	*Extreme cold weather alert - Starting immediately, the Timmins Native Friendship Centre at 179 Kirby Ave will open its doors in the evenings after 5:30 pm to serve as a warming shelter - Living Space is playing an important role in bringing services to people, but is challenged by some physical constraints that do not allow it to effectively act as a warming shelter during cold weather periods. As such, its staff and services will be shifted over to the Timmins Native Friendship Centre on nights of cold weather alerts. - City of Timmins News Release, 11 Jan 2019* Timmins Native Friendship Centre administers 3 satellite sites in Moosonee: Site 1: 3B Moose Drive Site 2: 14A Moose Drive Site 3: 17A Moose Drive
