A new report shows the population in the Rainy River district still in decline.
Statistics Canada says the district's population last year at just over 21-thousand - a 12 per cent drop from 2009 and the loss of nearly one- thousand people from five years ago.
Most of the decline is being attributed to people moving to other centres in Ontario.
The report also shows the average age in northwestern Ontario at about 41 years with almost 15 per cent of the population over the age of 65.
