The institution of marriage is on the decline in Kenora.
That's according to new census data that offers fresh insight into the complex composition of modern-day Canadian families.
The latest information from the 2011 census, released this morning by Statistics Canada, reveals the many different ways Canadians live together as a family unit.
When the census was taken in May 2011, there were 4,390 families in Kenora.
Married couples - those with and without children - make up 65.9 per cent of families in Kenora.
That's a decrease from the last census taken in 2006 when 68 per cent of couples were married.
