Churchill is remote even by Canadian standards. This
frontier town stands on the banks of Hudson Bay in
northern Manitoba, around 1,000 kilometers from
Winnipeg. Churchill can only be reached by plane or
train – there are no roads to this small community.
The town consists of a handful of streets with
weathered wooden houses, two churches, the "Polar
Bear Jail" (a facility that keeps bears and people safe
by temporarily holding bears that wander into town
before relocating them to the wild.), the Itsanitaq
Museum (showcasing a large collection of Inuit art
and artifacts), a supermarket along with hotels and
restaurants. The town radiates a mixture of charm
and mystery that enchants residents and visitors.
Those who come here do not want a vacation –
they want adventure.
