Who ya gonna call? “We want to take a lot of the jobs that were done in Toronto and move them closer to site,” said Makuch. “Timmins fits for us for a number of reasons.
It is the regional centre. You have a lot of services, especially air services in Timmins, so the logistics of bringing people in and out helps. We’re looking at it from that perspective.” He then elaborated on the plans for the regional office in Timmins.
“The concept is, there’s a lot of our G&A staff (general and administrative), payroll, human resources, benefits, management, engineering, technical services, even our exploration group, are sort of working in a variety of different areas.”
The idea is for the company to consolidate those jobs into one area, and felt Timmins would be the right fit.
“Our goal is to build a regional office in Timmins. We need that continuity in management.”
“We’ve purchased a piece of land we want to build on at the corner of Highway 655 and Laforest Road. It’s very central for us.
Logistically, it’s not far from the airport, and it’s on direct road access through to Cochrane. That’s the goal.”
When and if that office does come to fruition, it will be a big boost for the city, he said.
“We can see somewhere between 120 to 175 people working over there,” said Makuch.
“We want to build the region, and we want to grow here and encourage people to come.”
