The Timmins Police Service will also have a vehicle downtown with sirens and flashing lights unless they have to leave due to an emergency.
BeaverTails are also back for the event.
The delicious pastries are being served up today until Sunday.
"Since we were in lockdown during the Winter Carnival and couldn’t have them come up then we asked if they could come up in March instead!! Of course to make it worth their while they don’t come up for just one day," said Stacey Martin, Downtown Timmins BIA executive assistant.
The hours for BeaverTails are March 19 and March 20 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and March 21 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
