On the morning of February 4, 2023, first responders attended a residential fire at Patricia Plaza in Sioux Lookout. The fire was contained to one wing of the building resulting in the loss of 11 apartments. The remaining 26 apartments have been saved. The full extent of the building damage is currently being assessed and KDSB is working diligently to ensure the safety of the building, building air quality, and fire damage restoration. Some tenants will be able to return to their units in the short-term, while other tenants will be displaced for some time or permanently. The KDSB worked with many community partners in Sioux Lookout to ensure that all displaced tenants had alternative shelter.

The Kenora District Services Board (KDSB) Board of Directors will have a mix of new and returning representatives around its Board of Directors table. The KDSB has held its first Board meeting on January 18 – 19, 2023. Seven of the Board’s thirteen members are new to their KDSB Board appointment.

A Regional Housing Strategy is needed to respond to these challenges and opportunities. The Kenora District Housing Strategy: Building Housing Together will help prepare the foundation for new housing that can better address and plan for our District’s existing and future housing needs.
