Canora

Canora is a town at the junction of Highways 5 and 9 in east-central Saskatchewan, about 50 kilometres (31 mi) north of Yorkton. It is centrally located on the corners of four adjacent rural municipalities, including the RM of Good Lake. The community is home to approximately 2,000 residents and is part of the Canora-Pelly electoral district. The community was founded along the Canadian Northern Railway tracks — one of the companies that evolved into the Canadian National Railway (CN), and two CN freight lines still run through Canora. The Canora railway station, downtown on the CN east-west line before the switch to the northbound line, is served by Via Rail on its passenger service from Winnipeg to Churchill, Manitoba. As of 2016, 53% of the town's residents are either from Ukraine or of Ukrainian descent, with the language still widely spoken in the community.
