Kenora is located in northwestern Ontario, serving as the district seat of the Kenora District. Today the city is made up of three different districts that were combined in 1905. The main portion of the town (including the city center) was originally named Rat Portage. When the towns of Keewatin, Norman, and Rat Portage were consolidated, a new name taking the first two letters of each community was devised to equally represent each location.

Thunder Bay, Ontario is located at the western end of Ontario's portion of Lake Superior, serving as the district seat of Thunder Bay District. It is home to a metropolitan population of nearly 120,000 making it northern Ontario's second largest urban area, after Sudbury.
Prior to 1970, the city was actually comprised of two separate cities, Port Arthur and Fort William. The two were amalgamated and the name Thunder Bay was selected in a public referendum that favored a geographically descriptive moniker. This photograph was taken in the former city of Port Arthur.
