History
In 1948, the West Japer Place School District held a contest to name a new elementary school. The winner of the contest was a grade-eight student noted that the school was near the old Canadian Northern Rail line. By combining the first two letters of each word, the new name was created. Canora School officially opened February 4, 1949. The neighbourhood then became known by the school's name. White Hall Day Care & Out of School Care now resides in the decommissioned school.
