The Timmins Daily Press is a newspaper in Timmins, Ontario, which publishes six days a week. It is notable as the first paper founded by press baron Roy Thomson in the 1930s, who would eventually own more than 200 newspapers including The Times (London). In the 1990s, the paper was sold to Hollinger, a company founded by Noah Timmins, after whom the city of Timmins is named. [1]

On 29 September, 2026, Postmedia announced that the Daily Press and several other Ontario newspapers would no longer be printed, but would transition to online-only publications. The Daily Press' last printed edition will be published in late October 2026. [3] [4]
