Healthcare Sector

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.

Kenora is the hub for healthcare in the Kenora District. The City’s healthcare facilities serve local residents as well as cottagers and visitors on the Lake of the Woods and members of First Nations communities in the region. As of 2021, the City had a healthcare labour force of approximately 1,630 workers. Of these workers, approximately 825 are healthcare professionals, technicians, or assistants. The healthcare industry accounted for an estimated 14% of the City’s GDP in 2021.

Investments in health care infrastructure including the new All Nations Hospital, new long term-care facility and Waasegiizhig Nanaandawe’iyewigamig Aboriginal Health Access Centre position Kenora for growth in this sector.
