The three primary sources of employment in Red Lake are support services for the numerous mines surrounding the town, small scale logging and a tourism sector specializing in hunting and fishing. It is known as the "Norseman Capital of the World", referring to the Noorduyn Norseman aircraft which played a significant role in the development of the area. Red Lake is an enclave within Unorganized Kenora District. The municipality was formed on July 1, 1998, when the former incorporated townships of Golden and Red Lake were merged along with a small portion of Unorganized Kenora District. |
