Kenora

Situated in the Lake of the Woods region of Ontario, Kenora was originally known as Rat Portage. Derived from a poor translation of the Ojibwa name “Waszush Onigum” which meant “portage to the country of the muskrats. In 1905 the name was changed by taking the first two letters of its own name as well as the neighbouring towns; Keewatin and Norman. Making Ke-No-Ra.
