Kenora

Tucked along the northern shore of Lake of the Woods in northwestern Ontario, Kenora is a city whose character is shaped by the Canadian Shield and the vast freshwater routes around it. Lake of the Woods extends into Manitoba and Minnesota and contains more than 14,500 islands, placing boating, fishing and seasonal cottage life close to the city centre. Once called Rat Portage, Kenora adopted its current name in 1905 and grew through forestry, mining and transportation. The Lake of the Woods Museum, housed in a 1909 Carnegie library, records this regional story, while the large Husky the Muskie sculpture has become a familiar local symbol.
