You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

[[File:Schumacher ON.JPG|thumb|Schumacher]]
The city of [[Timmins]], [[Ontario]], Canada contains many named neighbourhoods. Some former municipalities that were merged into Timmins continue to be treated as distinct postal and telephone exchanges from the city core.

According to Barnes, "With the [[Porcupine Gold Rush|staking of the three great properties]], The Porcupine came alive as hundreds of canoes bearing prospectors...Golden City and Pottsville sprang up, with South Porcupine soon to follow."<ref name=Barnes/>{{rp|99}}

==Barbers Bay==
Barbers Bay is located on the southern shore of Frederick House Lake along the municipal boundary with [[Iroquois Falls]]. It also includes an area of bays dotted with cottages to the south, and just north of Kettle Lakes Provincial Park. Recently Barber's Bay has seen a growth in its year-long residents, most notably around the densely developed Finn Bay.

==Connaught==
A small village just west of Barbers Bay, where the [[Frederick House River]] flows into Frederick House Lake. Sometimes all of the extreme eastern portion within Timmins' city limits (Barbers Bay, Hoyle and Connaught) is referred to as Connaught because the village contains the only post office in the area. It borders both [[Iroquois Falls]] and [[Black River-Matheson]].

Connaught was also the location of the Frederick House outpost of the [[Hudson's Bay Company]].

==Hill District==
Located in the northeast portion of Timmins, it is north of Algonquin Boulevard and generally East of the streets with names of trees. It does not really have any precise boundaries, but much of it is located on a hill, thus its name. Both Gillies Lake and the [[Timmins and District Hospital]] are located here. The neighbourhood has some of the oldest houses in Timmins and used to be where the wealthiest people lived including mine managers.

==Hoyle==
Hoyle is a tiny hamlet and a series of farms located just north of [[Ontario Highway 101|Highway 101]] near the [[Porcupine River]] approximately {{cvt|15|km}} east of South Porcupine.

==Kamiskotia==
Located Northeast of Highway 101, Kamiskotia is home to Mount Jamieson Resort, as well as many residential homes, and some cottages/camps located on Kamiskotia Lake and other smaller lakes. Due to the long winters in Timmins, Mount Jamieson Resort is a very popular winter attraction among residents and tourists.

==Mattagami Heights==
One of the early neighbourhoods in Timmins, it was first developed along the east bank of the [[Mattagami River]] in the 1910s by prospector Charles M Auer. It is distinctive because all of it is on a hill overlooking the river, and the streets are somewhat hilly, unlike much of Timmins. It is north of Algonquin Boulevard West and mainly west of Thériault Boulevard up to Vimy Avenue. The McChesney Lumber Mill (now owned by EACOM) is located in this neighbourhood on the river.

==Melrose==
It is the northernmost subdivision in the urban core of Timmins, bounded by Jubilee Avenue, MacLean Drive and Airport Road. Originally, the older upper section located east of College Street was known as "Melrose Heights" or "Westmount" and the newer lower area west of it "Melrose Gardens."

==Moneta==
The area of Timmins south of downtown. It has a high concentration of people of Italian descent. [[Flora Macdonald Public School]] was originally called Moneta Public School. There is a Moneta Avenue and the Moneta Hotel, a bar/restaurant located on Pine Street South both within Moneta.

==Mountjoy==
Mountjoy, which comprises all of the city's populated area lying west of the [[Mattagami River]], includes the [[Timmins Square]] shopping mall, [[Home Depot]], [[Canadian Tire]], [[Mark's]], [[Best Buy]], [[Staples Inc.|Staples]] and a [[Walmart|Walmart Supercentre]]. [[Franco-Ontarians]] make up the vast majority of Mountjoy's population. It was originally known as "Mountjoy Township" and was separate from Timmins until amalgamation in 1973. Also found in the Mountjoy, Le Domaine Beaurivage or more commonly known as Bonaventure Drive, is one of the city's most prominent neighbourhoods and is located on the riverbank of the Mattagami River.

==Porcupine==
[[File:Float Plane Terminal in South Porcupine, Timmins, Ontario.jpg|alt=Porcupine Lake Water Aerodrome|thumb|[[Timmins/Porcupine Lake Water Aerodrome|Porcupine Lake Water Aerodrome]], destroyed by fire in 2015]]
Situated at the eastern end of Porcupine Lake, just northeast of the community of South Porcupine. Porcupine represents the easternmost part of the city's urban core. It was originally known as "Golden City" in its early days. A fire devastated the area in 1911.<ref>{{Cite news|url= https://www.timminstoday.com/columns/remember-this/remember-this-what-came-before-porcupine-14779|title=Remember this? What came before Porcupine|newspaper=Timmins Today|date=14 June 2015|access-date=8 April 2016}}</ref> The great fire engulfed communities from the Porcupine to [[Cochrane, Ontario|Cochrane]]. People fled to the lake to survive. It was founded at the beginning of the [[Porcupine Gold Rush]].<ref name="Pain">{{cite book|last1=Pain|first1=S.A.|title=Three Miles of Gold|date=1960|publisher=The Ryerson Press|location=Toronto|pages=6}}</ref> Porcupine, Pottsville and South Porcupine were the three towns making up the {{cvt|12|mi|order=flip}} portion of gold-bearing land known as the '''Porcupine Camp'''.<ref name="Barnes">{{cite book|last1=Barnes|first1=Michael|title=Fortunes in the Ground|date=1986|publisher=The Boston Mills Press|location=Erin, Ontario|isbn=091978352X|page=86,104-107,123,172-174,194}}</ref>

===Pottsville===

Located on the northwest portion of Porcupine Lake west of the bridge over the Porcupine River. Located between Porcupine and South Porcupine, it constituted one of three towns making up the Porcupine camp during the [[Porcupine Gold Rush]].<ref name=Barnes/>{{rp|123}}  

It was not originally considered to be part of Porcupine but is today. Some people consider newer neighbourhoods (Melview and Woodlands subdivisions) located to the west within Whitney Township behind the Porcupine Mall to be part of Pottsville but many disagree. The Ontario Government Complex which services the Timmins area is located here.{{Citation needed|date=October 2017}}

==Schumacher==
[[File:Dwyer Block in Schumacher, Timmins, Ontario.jpg|thumb|Dwyer Block in Schumacher]]
Schumacher, once known as Aura Lake, is named after early settler and mining prospector Frederick W. Schumacher, who sank the first [[shaft sinking|mine shaft]] in the community during the [[Porcupine Gold Rush]]. It was once home to one of Canada's largest [[Croatia]]n communities. Although it still has many people of Croatian and other European descent, more recently, many people of Aboriginal heritage (mainly [[Cree]]) have taken up residence. Schumacher was part of Tisdale Township until the township was amalgamated into the City of Timmins in 1973.
[[File:YUL816770-MainstreetSchumacher.jpg|thumb|Main Street, Schumacher, Ont., early 1900s]]

Porcupine Gold Mines is currently engaged in a surface diamond drilling program on the previous [[Hollinger Mines|Hollinger]] and McIntyre properties. This activity aims to better determine the location and extent of underground mine workings in the area, which have caused [[sinkhole]]s to appear. In addition, it is done to evaluate the potential to mine remnant gold mineralization as part of a possible future open-pit mining operation. The ongoing evaluation of the properties is part of the closure planning process that Porcupine Gold Mines is completing for the [[Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines]]. Preliminary indications show the possibility of more than 4 million ounces of gold in the area.

The area is also home to the McIntyre mine and the [[McIntyre Community Building]], the primary sporting facility in Timmins, both of which were named for another early prospector, Sandy McIntyre. The McIntyre arena is also where Schumacher's most famous resident first donned his skates; [[Frank Mahovlich]], a recipient of the [[Order of Canada]], a [[Senate of Canada|Senator]] for the [[Liberal Party of Canada]], and a [[Hockey Hall of Fame]] member, was born in Schumacher. Mahovlich's [[National Hockey League]] (NHL) contemporary, [[Dean Prentice]], was also born in Schumacher.

This arena was also where Canada's own [[Barbara Ann Scott]] taught figure skating in the 1950s.

===Gold Centre===

Gold Centre is a small planned town site situated just {{cvt|500|m}} southeast of Schumacher. The town site though small is still an active community of less than 100 residents today. Although still identified by its name, many consider it to be a part of Schumacher.

==South Porcupine==
[[File:Old Tisdale Township Municipal Building in South Porcupine, Timmins, Ontario.jpg|thumb|Old Tisdale Township Municipal Building in South Porcupine]]

South Porcupine was founded on the southwestern shore of Porcupine Lake, due to its proximity to the mines. Locally, South Porcupine is traditionally known as "South End" and also more recently called "SoPo".<ref name=Barnes/>{{rp|86,123}}

The arrival of the [[Ontario Northland Railway#Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway (1902–46)|Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway]] (T&NO) rail system in 1911 accelerated the growth of the area; until then, the trek to the South Porcupine was done by canoe and by foot from Haileybury. That same year, (two days after the first train arrived in the South Porcupine), the entire area was destroyed in the fire of 1911.<ref name=Barnes/>{{rp|86,107}} Because of the importance of the gold discoveries, very few people abandoned the area and it was rebuilt in two months.
[[File:YUL816762-TNORailwayTimmins.jpg|thumb|T&NO railway station in South Porcupine]]
The Township of Tisdale, which later included the townsite of Schumacher (established in 1911) and the town of South Porcupine, was incorporated in 1909. The Township was later amalgamated and became part of Timmins.

===Connaught Hill===

A neighbourhood found within South Porcupine at its southernmost portion. It is located near the southwestern part of Porcupine Lake.
