Community Profile Canora Community Profile Canora, Saskatchewan 2 Quick Facts Welcome to Canora Box 717, 418 Main Street Canora, SK S0A 0L0 Phone: 306-563-5773 Email: [email protected] Website: www.canora.com Population: 2,219 / Established In: 1905 Village / 1910 Town Canora is nestled into the junction of highways No. 5 and 9 in east-central Saskatchewan. Centrally located on the corners of four adjacent rural municipalities, the community is home to over 2,000 residents and draws upon a substantial trading area. Canora is known as the “Heart of Good Spirit Country” as a result of its proximity to several lakes and parks, including Crystal Lake, Good Spirit Lake and Duck Mountain Provincial Park. The area hosts Saskatchewan’s greatest number of golf courses per capita and boasts one of the highest traffic counts in the province. The Town of Canora received a 2008 Saskatchewan Municipal Award in the category of Environmental Stewardship. The award resulted from the Town's source water protection project to preserve the community's quality water supply. The undertaking, for which the Town partnered with Ducks Unlimited, saw many acres of former farm land restored to its natural state. The community was named one of the top 10 places in Canada to retire by CARP Magazine and was the only Saskatchewan community to make the list for 2006. Canada's Association for the 50 Plus considered many factors in compiling its list, including: climate, quality of life, cost of living, transportation, retail services, health care, community services, cultural, educational and recreational activities and crime and public safety. The town was also judged to have the best-tasting municipal water in Canada at the 13th annual international water tasting competition held in 2003 in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, USA. Canora’s water, supplied by several ground wells northeast of the community, also placed fourth internationally at the competition that received entries from eight countries and 23 states. Free samples of this great- tasting water are available at the Visitor Centre & CN Station House Museum during the summer months. Recreational facilities in the community include a serviced campground, cross country ski trails, tennis courts, ball diamonds, curling and ice skating rinks, soccer pitches, skate park, community halls, swimming pool, parks, playgrounds and a nine-hole grass green golf course. A walking tour of the community, featuring its museums and other attractions, has been developed. With an abundance of nearby lakes, rivers and rural landscapes, Canora is literally only minutes away from some of the best hunting and fishing opportunities in the province. “Ca-No-Ra”, which became a village in 1905 and was incorporated as a town in 1910, was named using the first two letters of “Canadian Northern Railway”. A CN Station House Museum, traditional Ukrainian Page 2 of 28 Community Profile ~ 2013 3 Canora, Saskatchewan welcome statue, Ukrainian Heritage Museum and fully-restored Ukrainian Orthodox church, officially designated a heritage site, recognize and preserve the community’s diverse heritage. To maximize the well-being of its residents, Canora features an acute-care hospital, nursing home, primary healthcare clinic, ambulance service, chiropractor, optometrist, home care, public health services and massage therapy clinic. We are currently seeking the services of a dentist and veterinarian. Policing services are delivered by an in-town RCMP detachment and a fully-equipped volunteer fire brigade provides fire and rescue services. Students can attend kindergarten to Grade 12 at Canora’s two schools. Children as young as three years old may attend Canora Nursery School and those wishing to obtain further or specialized learning can access a wide variety of programs through the local branch of the Parkland Regional College.
