Wapusk National Park

Churchill


Established primarily to protect polar bear maternity denning sites (wapusk is Cree for 'white bear') and critical habitats for waterfowl and shore birds, this remote park extends along Hudson Bay's shores 45km southeast of Churchill. Its location between boreal forests and Arctic tundra makes it important when monitoring the effects of climate change. Visits center on polar bears and are only possible through licensed operators.
