The City of Kenora is located in the heart of the continent, on the Canadian Shield, in the northwest corner of Ontario, just 50 kilometres from the Manitoba border and 2 hours from Winnipeg.
Kenora is perched on the north shore of Lake of the Woods and its 14,522 islands and 65,000 miles of shoreline. Kenora is that iconic Canada painted by the Group of Seven - the granite, the pines, and the water.
Construction businesses based out of the City provide construction services not only to local residents, businesses, and institutions, but also to the broader region, which includes a strong seasonal residential construction industry. Between 2010 and 2022, construction permits in the City alone were valued at more than $431 million dollars. Approximately half of the value of these building permits were for commercial and governmental projects, while the other half were for residential projects,
