Your chance to tell the Ontario Government to help Timmins comes this Thursday in Sudbury. The CAW and the Save Our Resources Coalition have organized buses to head to Sudbury Thursday to greet Mines Minister Michael Gravelle and top Xstrata officials at a mine opening ceremony. Buses leave Timmins at 5am and will return around 6pm. There is no charge to get on the bus but officials need a head count.

Anyone wanting to join the rally, need to contact Brian Watson at 266-5123 to confirm a seat before Wednesday at 10am.

Officials also advise that you dress for the weather since the event will be held outside.

A few months ago, we talked about seeing the Google van i the area - assuming that they were driving the streets of Timmins, taking pictures to add us into their super-cool Street View feature. Well, the day is here - you can now take a virtual tour of Timmins! Send a link to friends and family that takes them right to your doorstep.

 Here’s how to see it:
Go to this link: http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=timmins+ON&sll=49.891235,-97.15369&sspn=26.697155,56.337891&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Timmins,+Cochrane+District,+Ontario&ll=48.47332,-81.3305&spn=0.026744,0.055017&z=14

Most cities & towns in Canada are now on Google’s Street View. Have fun!
