From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Canora is a residential neighbourhood in west Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Canora was originally part of the Town of Jasper Place, and became a part of Edmonton when Jasper Place amalgamated with the city in 1964.

It is bounded on the west by 156 Street, the east by 149 Street, the south by Stony Plain Road and the north by 107 Avenue.

The remaining dwellings are split roughly equally between duplexes^[1] (28%) and single family dwellings (21%). Seven out of every eight private dwellings were constructed by 1980 with substantially all construction occurring after the end of World War II.

There is a motel at the south west corner of the neighbourhood.
