Election Debate

Spanning an area of 3,155 square kilometres, the Timmins riding consists of all of the city of Timmins in the territorial district of Cochrane. It is located to the north of the Nickel Belt electoral district.

Gilles Bisson is the incumbent MPP for Timmins-James Bay, having held the seat for the NDP in the 2014 general election. Timmins-James Bay has since been divided into the two ridings of Timmins and Mushkegowuk- James Bay, and Bisson will be running for the new Timmins seat. The new riding Timmins was created in 2017 in an effort by the provincial government to move provincial riding lines to match those used in federal elections. The 2018 Ontario general election will be the first time the Timmins riding is contested.
