The town I grew up is locally famous for being the town with the smallest population to ever win the Stanley Cup (Kenora Thistles - 1907). Art Ross, for whom the Art Ross Trophy is named after was a member of that team.

It's also sort of famous for fishing, particularly walleye, bass, musky and sturgeon. In fact, they host an international bass tournament every year. There is a big musky statue in town that is well known, but then what town doesn't have a big "something" in Canada?

Also, sort of historically important for being the most northwestern extent of New France during colonial times.
