Timmins, Boeing?

Surnames: PELHAM, LINWOOD
Elizabeth Jane LINWOOD Pelham reported she lived at 36 Middleton, Timmins, Ontario, in April 1945 when applying for a visa.

(Her sisters were Margaret, Mary, Lucy, Lilly and brothers James Linwood and Charles Linwood; her family from Nottingham, England, their parents from Kidcudbright, Scotland)

Husband, William Hentry PELHAM, and wife left Winnipeg (where he raced and repaired Indian motorcycles) about 1942 to go to Toronto (?) so he could work for Boeing before retiring in BC in early 1950's.

Questions:
1. Was the Middleton address one for PELHAM or some other name? Maybe she was visiting a relative.
2. Where was there a Boeing plant in Ontario during WWII? Was there one near Timmins?

Thank you.
