Churchill is located on the south western shores of Hudson Bay at the mouth of the historic Churchill River, approximately 1000 kilometres north of Winnipeg. With a latitude of 58.47 N, Churchill is Manitoba’s most northern community and is accessible by air and rail. Our small and unique community has a population of approximately 1100 persons.
Churchill, Manitoba is a four season ecotourism destination and we look forward to showing visitors our abundant sub-arctic attractions as well as guiding them on exciting activities.
While Churchill, Manitoba is internationally known as the ‘Polar Bear Capital of the World’, our community is truly a four season wildlife destination. Located along the treeline or the northern edge of the Boreal Forest, Churchill attracts arctic and boreal species of wildlife, birds and plants. Commonly seen species include Arctic and Red Foxes, Arctic Hare, Caribou, Gyrfalcons, Snowy Owls, Ptarmigan and even the occasional Lemming!
