Brock and Becca: Chill Out In Churchill

Brock and Becca traveled to Churchill, Manitoba on the shore of Hudson Bay. It is the polar bear capital of the world. There are more bears in that area than anywhere else. The bears and the wolves often come into town looking for food, so there are people with guns protecting the town. If a bear won’t leave, they put it to sleep with a tranquilizer gun and when it wakes up, it is in the bear jail. Brock and Becca went on a dog sled ride, and Brock went out on to the tundra in a buggy with his dad. It was there he saw at least a dozen polar bears. The children enjoyed the natives’ tall tales and what they learned about the animals living in the area.
