Gvozdanovich joins incumbents Jack Slattery and Steve Adams who have also filed for re-election along with newcomers Todd Lever and Steven Black. Incumbents Denis Saudino and Mike Doody have yet to declare their intentions.

Reader fed up with councilor's web comments I'm in total agreement with this letter. Mr. Gvozdanovic and his website are a disgrace and an embarrassment and he should not be allowed to represent this City or collect a paycheque from it for one minute longer. 01.09.10 14:32 By Nora Mapplebeck
PC's say Angus needs to pull the trigger on regist... Isn't getting rid of the registry more of a waste of money since the money has already been spent and it costs very little to maintain. 50% percent want the registry gone, 50% want it kept. glad i don't have to vote. Angus voted twice to scrap it. which way he votes now is a tough one. Mr Greenburg is just trying to be the bully like his idol Mr Harper. 31.08.10 14:10 By cassandra
Bisson reaches out to FN communities Bisson could really care less about FN. The James Bay Coast has always been purely about votes for Gilles. Now that he?s in trouble vote wise in the southern more populated areas of the riding he?s doing OT on the coast. It?s over Gilles, tap-out buddy. Your self-serving labour reign of terror is over. THANK GOODENESS!!! 23.08.10 09:25 By John Monaghan
Police charge elderly man with sex-related offence... Why does the media report these charges ?this persons life will ruined...( 30 to 50 yrs later ) even if he is not found guilty,,,,the media should realize the level of impact it can have on a persons life. If this had of been an officer...his name would not be included until found guilty....convictions...not charges should include peoples name. 13.08.10 18:05 By Norm Beaudoin
Timmins Police seize $14k in drugs/cash Kudos to our police department for nailing these ppl who would corrupt our community with that garbage. 09.08.10 10:39 By Shane
Xstrata reports whopping Q2 profit Typical of big corporations... When is there enough profits? Closing Timmins was peanuts in their pocketbook but huge for many people. When will our government wake up and realize that foreign companies will never put back into a community what it takes from them. Our government must protect our communities, province and country. 03.08.10 19:45 By Julie Radske
City to explore multi-pad arena concept That's easy too. A lack of courage to do the right thing. You and I can let our houses rot ... public officials cannot allow public buildings to fall into a state of disrepair. You have to provide for the future. It might take another 10-15 year for city council to do the right thing. By that time the cost of the project will double. One politician delayed the new bridge over the mattagami and it went from a $3 million project to a $9 million project. The same guy delayed the police building and it went from a $4 million project to a $11 million project. Cowardice is costly. 28.07.10 11:34 By Editor
City to explore multi-pad arena concept If the business plan was such a slam dunk 5 years ago, how/why did it fall apart? And what has changed over the last 5 years that makes this closer to happening now? A single multi-pad complex with a single minor hockey association is definitely the way to go. Now, the question is how do we keep the momentum going... especially in an election year. 27.07.10 11:47 By Al Grenier
City to explore multi-pad arena concept Great question - it was answered five years ago. A new facility is financed by closing money-losing facilities and reducing costs by consolidating. A proper business plan, which was in place 5 years ago as well, uses the EXISTING tax dollars to finance the facility by eliminating the Million dollar a year deficit. Timmins would also have to regain control over minor hockey by going to a single-association system. Right now, three minor hockey associations control everything - it is the tail wagging the dog. Timmins is the only city of its size in North American with three minor hockey associations. 26.07.10 17:40 By Editor
City to explore multi-pad arena concept I certainly love it when people compare Timmins to cities with three or four times the population with huge tax bases. To build the dream arena you would need 30 to 40 million dollars. Where is the money going to come from? Can this community support that type of commitment? Not a chance. I have not heard the question that should be asked. Why have these building been allowed to fall into such a state, and are the people who did nothing to try and keep them up to par still employed? 26.07.10 13:31 By Bryce Kulik
City to explore multi-pad arena concept I've been saying for quite awhile that Timmins has the worst arenas in this area! Look at KL, SRF, Cochrane, they are way ahead of Timmins when it comes to arenas. I will be glad to see a new arena, hopefully before it's my time to go! 21.07.10 13:01 By LisaD
City to explore multi-pad arena concept It's funny that it took a consultant to say what we all have been saying for years. sports facilities add to quality of life and are a sense of pride for the community but they are also to the first things cut at budget time. I am concerned that a councillor is talking about closing down more arenas. typical. 21.07.10 09:36 By daler
