Tourism Numbers up in Kenora

It may have been one of Kenora's best-ever tourism seasons ever.

The Lake of the Woods Economic Development Commission has released its third quarter report and it shows a 100 percent increase in visitor numbers at the Discovery Center.

Don Denver is acting chair of the Commission and says they also enjoyed increased revenues for rentals of the Whitecap Pavillion and the Farmer's Market.

The commission says more than 14 thousand people visited the Discovery Center during the months of July, August and September and more than 50 thousand people took in events on the Harborfront.
