Polar bears in Manitoba
Viewing polar bears has become a key
attraction for visitors to Canada, and Churchill
– a town on Hudson Bay in northern Manitoba
– is a hot spot for sightings of these impressive
creatures, as well as beluga whales, Arctic
foxes and the multi-hued phenomenon of the
northern lights (aurora borealis). There are
various ways to enjoy the wildlife of Churchill,
from simple hotel stays with day trips out onto
the tundra, to group excursions to wilderness
lodges that require an additional flight from
Churchill. Churchill can be reached from
Winnipeg by a two-hour flight or the Winnipegto-Churchill
train completes the journey of
1,700 km in 2 days. The warmer months
between July and September are the best time
to see much of the wildlife, including polar
bears; however, the colder months of October
and November provide polar bear sightings
against a backdrop of snow and ice.
Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia
Located on the east coast, sparsely populated
Atlantic Canada encompasses the provinces of
New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador,
Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. This
maritime region is well known for its delectable
seafood, remote beaches, whale watching, quaint
villages, lighthouses and drifting icebergs. Each
province has its own charm and culture, with the
coastal landscapes and small towns best explored
on a self-drive itinerary at a leisurely pace. The
deep, whale-plied waters off Newfoundland are
the final resting place of the Titanic, while Prince
Edward Island provided the rustic setting for the
classic children’s book Anne of Green Gables. Closer
to Europe than any other part of North America,
this region of Canada can be reached
by aeroplane in less than six hours from the UK.
