The City of Kenora is governed by a mayor, six councillors, and a variety of committees and boards. Council develops policies, enacts by-laws and oversees municipal planning for Kenora.

Get to know your councillors and visit the Mayor's Office to learn more about your elected officials.

Council meetings

View our Council calendar to find out about upcoming meeting dates and times.

Review the Council meeting agendas and minutes and watch the virtual meeting recordings to stay informed.

Watch our Council meetings through live streaming. The virtual meeting link is available at the start time of the meeting and a recording is available following the meeting. 

Do you have a specific topic that you'd like to discuss? Learn how to present before council and get involved with your community.

Public engagement with Council

We're excited to announce a unique opportunity for you to engage with members of Council on matters important to you in a series of Town Hall Meetings. Everyone is welcome; however, pre-registration is required.

Watch for announcements about the next Town Hall on our event calendar, our Facebook page, or Instagram.

Please send in your questions/subjects for discussion in advance so we can be better prepared to provide accurate and comprehensive information. Be sure to register by emailing to communications@kenora.ca.If time allows, there will also be an open forum discussion.

You may also watch by joining Facebook Live on the City's Facebook page. 

If you can't make it, you can contact Council members by email or plan to attend the next Town Hall Meeting. If you have a service need, you can always submit a Request For Service online.

It is important to note that Town Hall Meetings are not Official Council meetings and no decisions can be made. Not all members of Council will attend at one time to ensure a quorum is not present. These meetings are designed to foster open dialogue and engage with the community.

Accountability and transparency

We are committed to ensuring that Council is accountable to the public. Learn more about the Integrity Commissioner and closed meeting investigation process to see how we ensure that Council maintains transparency.

Learn about the guiding principles and corporate core values that Council must uphold as set out within the Code of Conduct for Members of Council policy.
