Free bus service will be offered starting at 5pm from the parking lot of the Teletech call centre on Spruce Street South. Timmins Transit will also transport visitors to the Centre. Alternately, the Centre is a convenient eight to ten minute walk from downtown. The Shania Centre will also extend its operating hours the 28th to accommodate anyone wanting to take the tour. Festivities begin at 6pm with the singing of Happy Birthday, followed by a special cake cutting ceremony and signing of Shania's birthday card.
Traffic tends to be heavier later in the week and later in the day.
Some visitors who have heard about it stop by while passing through, while others are visiting family in Timmins and coming to the centre. Many visitors are taking in both the Shania Centre and Timmins Underground Gold Mine tours, located at the same site. About 55 to 60 per cent are taking in the combination, so were averaging anywhere from 150 to 200 a day. Visitor surveys are available on site, and all constructive feedback is taken seriously with an eye for future improvements. The video theatre presentation is still the biggest thing, I think it really blows them away.
