The City of Kenora’s Recreation and Culture department received a request for ice time to activate a Junior A team in Kenora. The recreation team has reviewed the request and determined that the junior team calendar will not be included in the 2023/2024 ice season schedule.
This decision is an administrative decision which was based on assessing several factors outside of just the ice allocation. Through public consultation, concerns have been raised by community groups and users and the City wants to take the necessary time to thoroughly consider the potential addition of a Junior A team in the future to ensure everyone is heard and all concerns are considered.
The City of Kenora’s Recreation and Culture department works with individuals and groups to expand programming opportunities in the community, and when reviewing new programs, we review facility availability while ensuring the program aligns with our values by providing adequate and appropriate recreational opportunities for all community members.
