7 Wonders of Manitoba Episode 7: Churchill

✨ 7 Wonders of Manitoba Episode 7: Churchill ✨

While the shorelines of the Churchill River Estuary and Hudson Bay are always a sight to behold, the timing of your visit will determine what type of wonders you will see—polar bears, beluga whales, northern lights—or all of the above.

📍 Churchill is located on Treaty 5 territory.

We are excited to share an incredible documentary series that features seven of Manitoba’s most outstanding sites.

Each site was selected for its unique natural features, geological history, or the wildlife that inhabits it. The series inspires a sense of awe and appreciation for Manitoba’s beauty—we hope it does for you too!

I am originally from Brazil, lived in Winnipeg for a year and went on a trip to Churchill to see the Auroras. Unique experience! As a bonus, the extreme temperatures, the flagged-shaped trees, etc.. are just amazing. You clearly see how life tries to strive in such conditions. The entire experience brought a feeling of connection to nature that words can't describe well, one must simply experience it! Go visit Churchill

Wow, enjoyed this, and it made me really appreciate downstate NY's warmer weather all year round.

Churchill is a Manitoba MUST SEE! We were able to go by train from Thompson. We went in the last spring and were in Zodiacs with the Beluga whales. The zodiacs had underwater microphones so we were able to hear the Belugas. We spent the rest of the day exploring the community and eating. An event we will never forget.

Great look at Churchill, can't wait to reschedule a cancelled trip to see it all!

I believe Aurora season is now the second biggest for tourist draw (at least before COVID) after Bear season. So contrary to the rather bleak picture the video presents, lots of people do choose to visit in the dead of winter! Or will again we hope, once travel opens up.

Im writing a story where the town is based off Churchill. Fictional town in Northern Manitoba. My God is it beautiful up there.

Interesting video series and I have visited Churchill a number of times and stayed out at the Rocket Range (Studies Centre). Minor suggestion - keep the music volume a bit lower so we can hear the excellent

[Boksburg]

I took the train to Churchill many years ago and was surprised to see a huge line of people waiting for the Liquor store to open. Yes really nice place.

I lived there as an early teen teen from 1964-1967. Very nostalgic and as spectacular as it sounds. They didn't even mention the American presence. They had a rocket range nearby which was to "explore the aurora" but secretly they were watching out for nukes headed towards them from Russia and we found out later they also developed the technology for chaff, the aluminum chips fighter jets throw out behind them to confuse incoming, radar guided missiles.
Nearby Fort Churchill also had the longest runway in North America so big bombers could land and take off from there. It was all hush hush.
