Shop Local Kenora

The Kenora Downtown Business Improvement Zone will be able to go ahead with a shop local event next month.

Kenora City Council has given its blessing to the November 12th festival, which will see Main Street South between 1st and 2nd Streets shut down.

The street closure will take effect at 5:00 in the afternoon and run until 9:00.

The only conditions council put on the event was for BIZ to put up and remove any signage, and that burning barrels would not be used.

The intent of the event is to encourage local residents to stay in town to do their Christmas shopping this year.
