The Planning Division is responsible for all matters related to planning, land use, and future development within the City of Kenora. We work with the Planning Advisory Committee to make decisions and recommendations to City council on applications for amendments to the City of Kenora Official Plan and the Zoning By-law and other applications under the Planning Act.
The City of Kenora, with the assistance of its consultants WSP, has started the review of its Official Plan and Zoning By-law. Learn about how this project affects you and to get involved.

If you plan on submitting a planning application, you must first have a pre-consultation meeting with the Planning team. We will help you understand when an application is required, what development can be approved, what other approvals might be needed, and what you will need to include in your application.
