Tourism Numbers up over the long weekend

Local tourism officials are crowing about their most recent numbers.


Tourism Kenora had both the Discovery Center and the Thistle Pavillion open to the public and more than 540 visitors passed through their doors.

That's a huge increase over last year when only 36 people came into the old Tourist Information bureau on Highway 17 east.

The M.S. Kenora also reported its best opening weekend in nine years.
