SHANIA TWAIN CENTRE |
SNOWMOBILING |
Timmins is very proud of Shania Twain. In
2001, the city built the $5.5 million
Shania Twain Centre to celebrate her
early life and career. Open year-round, this
major attraction draws thousands of visitors
every year. The 1,022 square metre tourist
complex showcases three themes: 1. Shania's
life, career and music, 2. the support and
devotion of Shania's fans, and 3. the
community during Shania's life in Timmins.
There are personal mementos, awards, video
presentations, and over a million dollars worth
of stage costumes and clothes. Shania
herself has donated all of her memorabilia,
including her wedding gown, to make this a
unique collection. Fans, too, have donated
art and items, inspired by their beloved
Shania.
