Churchill, Manitoba is a land of beluga whales, polar bears, and beauty

You’ve probably never heard of Churchill, Manitoba.

With a population of just 899, this little Manitoba town is best known for the number of polar bears that congregate there during the fall — an event that's earned the town the nickname "The Polar Bear Capital of the World." 

Located just 68 miles from the Manitoba–Nunavut border on the northern tip of Manitoba, Churchill might just be the best kept secret in Canada. Along with the vast population of polar bears, those exploring the town can expect to see the starkly beautiful tundra, a wide river, beluga whales, many rare birds, and the Aurora Borealis.

With a culture deeply rooted in its Aboriginal history, Churchill is also a town steeped in history that offers people looking to forge new ground — or tundra — a place to explore. 

Whether you’re there to see the polar bears or experience the Northern Lights, Churchill is where you go seek adventure — you just have to know where to look.
