Timmins council limits its powers in 2026 due to election timing, delegating key authority to its chief administrator.
In 2026, Timmins city council may face limited authority during two potential "lame duck" periods due to the October 26 municipal election, as the Municipal Act restricts major decisions if fewer than three-quarters of council members are re-elected.
To ensure continuity, council passed a bylaw on February 3 delegating key powers—such as hiring, firing, property disposal, and major spending—to Chief Administrative Officer Dave Landers during these periods.
The first potential lame duck window ends August 21, requiring critical decisions to be finalized before then to avoid delays.
