Timiskaming District

Timiskaming District spans 13,299 square kilometers of land containing numerous small towns, mines, forests, and agricultural regions across northeastern Ontario.

The district emerged in 1912 from sections of Algoma, Nipissing, and Sudbury districts, with silver discoveries in Cobalt driving early settlement patterns.

Local communities maintain strong connections to both Indigenous traditions and European settlement heritage through year-round festivals and educational programs.

Temiskaming Shores functions as the administrative center, providing healthcare facilities and government services to the district's population of 31,424 residents.

The region contains two large unorganized territories in its eastern and western sections, operating under special governance structures without municipal organization.
