Sioux Narrows Embraces Grey Power

Officials in Sioux Narrows/Nestor Falls say they're not surprised that the community has the oldest population in the Kenora District.

A recent StatsCan report showed the number of people 65 or older in the town was 24.3 percent.

Town Planner Jeff Port says Stats Can last year also showed Sioux Narrows-Nestor Falls was also the fastest growing community in the region, which he attributes to more seniors deciding to
declare their cottages their primary residence.
Port says Sioux Narrows-Nestor Falls move to approve condo developments is something that he sees as a positive for the aging population in his community.
