The town of Churchill is a world-renowned tourist destination; famous for its polar bears and beluga whales. It is an international birding hotspot, having a rich history with roots dating back before the Fur Trade. In 2011, the population of Churchill was 813 people. Churchill is located in northern Manitoba roughly 1700 kilometres (that's over 1000 miles!) from Winnipeg, on the western shores of Hudson Bay. Churchill's unique location puts it within three ecoregions: the boreal forest to the south; the Arctic tundra to the northwest and the Hudson Bay to the north.
Wapusk National Park is located to the south of the town. Wapusk National Park protects one of the world's largest known polar bear denning areas in the world. Wapusk is the Cree word for "white bear".
