The Rainy River district remains overwhelmingly a unilingual one.

New census data shows English being the language of choice for well over 90 per cent of residents in most areas of the district.

It's 94 per cent in Fort Frances, 91 per cent in Atikokan and a whopping 97 per cent in LaVallee township.

German ranks second in many areas of the west end of the district where between 8 and 10 per cent residents in Emo, Morley and Dawson township say its mainly spoken in their homes.
