The City of Kenora has seen a bit of a building boom this year, but it won't set any records.
Kenora mayor Dave Canfield says through the month of November there was over 28 million
dollars in building permits taken out.
Canfield says while it was an impressive year for construction, he suggests next year will be a little
quieter.
Some of the projects undertaken this year include the new fire hall, the Discovery Center in
Norman, the Headwaters Condo project and phase two of Downtown Revitalization.
