Kenora, Administrative center in northwestern Ontario, Canada

Kenora extends along the northern shore of Lake of the Woods, encompassing 211 square kilometers of forests, waterways, and residential neighborhoods at 409 meters elevation.

The settlement evolved from a Hudson's Bay Company trading post in 1790 into a railroad point by 1882, receiving its current name from combining Keewatin, Norman, and Rat Portage.

The Lake of the Woods International Pow-Wow takes place every August, bringing together Indigenous communities to share traditions through dance, music, and ceremonial gatherings.

The city maintains an airport 13 kilometers northeast and a downtown seaplane base, while offering year-round outdoor activities from fishing to snowboarding across multiple locations.

The Kenora Thistles hockey team captured the Stanley Cup in 1907, establishing the city as the smallest North American community to win this professional sports championship.
