Churchill Polar Bears
By Kelsey Braverman, WWF’s Manager, Development Research Imagine traveling to a small town on the Hudson Bay, in the far north of Manitoba, Canada for the first time, only to find that the main boulevard is very familiar. That was my experience making the beautiful journey to Churchill as we entered town on Kelsey Boulevard.

Nature & Wildlife
Our world is a colorful place. Just think of the vivid blues, greens, oranges, reds and yellows of Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park, the rainbow-hued mountains of Zhangye National Geopark in China or the shimmering green and purple bands of light in the aurora borealis above the tundra in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada.

This is nature, after all!
Conservation
On December 28, 1973, the Endangered Species Act (ESA) was signed into law. We’ll soon be celebrating the 50th anniversary of this landmark conservation legislation, which has saved hundreds of animals that once wavered on the brink of extinction.

As a company that cares so much for the natural environment and the diverse animals that call it home, we sometimes get asked why we include dog sledding on our Canadian polar bear and northern lights trips (and dog carting on our summer Churchill beluga whales adventure!). We love having the opportunity to answer!
