- ✨ 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.

As we all stay home and stay safe, we wanted 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 made us feel at ease and inspired for the year to come - we hope it does for you too!
Please continue to follow all government guidelines.
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
👍 ❤
Hi Da! can u share more about Auroras,Do one need to hire and tour oprators to see them and what is the best month to see Auroras?
@@MehmudButt when I was there in 2014 I talked to the hotel people, which talked to the people who organizes the trip. Everything is done fairly local, they got some sort of modified buses that will go outside the city where there is less light pollution. Best months are in winter because you have the least amount of sun light, yet brace yourself for temperatures as low as -40°C outside. People there are amazing and will make everything possible for your stay to be great. Other things you can do in Churchill is dogsled, there are museums, etc..lastly, if you want to see polar bears you should go in summer time though.
Now you know why Winnipeggers are so grumpy. The cold weather.
Was it difficult to book a cottage/ hotel? How much in advance did you have to reserve it and any recommendations+ tips? I'm planning this with me senior parents.
This video series was fantastic. Please make more videos like these. 👍
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.
Where did you guys park your cars
They took a train@@vladimirproshops
I spent the first 10 years of my life here. I've been back once and would go again
Same, born there, family stayed until I was 6 and have been back twice. Very unique place. 👍
Did u see polar bears
The gift of a lifetime to live here. This place is stunning and inspiring
Would love to go back to this fantastic community.
So much to see at Churchill, hope will visit this place after pandemic
Absolutely loved this series of videos and I now have a few more places to put on my bucket list! Thank you. Please make more videos like this highlighting amazing places to visit in Manitoba!
I use to live in Churchill for work. Amazing place to visit and see. So much history
So beautiful! The Northern Lights is a sight to behold!
This series is fantastic, thx you I had no Idea Manitoba was so beautiful
Great look at Churchill, can't wait to reschedule a cancelled trip to see it all!
Im writing a story where the town is based off Churchill. Fictional town in Northern Manitoba. My God is it beautiful up there.
Look up Flin Flon, Manitoba. It's named after a fictional story book charactor. That's where I live. The book is named " The Sunless City".
I want to read the story.
Wow beautiful wow
This was just simple amazing… thank you.
Had the blessing of visiting Churchill, in fact, I worked here. Must see !
Wonderful documentary 👏
Must watch video.
Goosebumps
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 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.
I figured that people head up there, regardless.
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 narrator.....
Home for over 30 years..❤
Canada Manitoba Churchill 🇨🇦 And United Kingdom The isle of Man Peel 🇬🇧
Excellent content
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.
I visited churchill last year since I used to work in Thompson and i wasnt expecting much from churchill since it was off season for bears and belugas and discovered how much history churchill has... especially how strategic churchill was for the dew line and all the studies on rocketery and communication that was done there.. too bad churchill has been abandonned since the 80s-90s. Althiught not too glorious in canadas history, seeing the ruins of the dene village was also neat...
Very nice video
The top wonder is that anybody lives there at all.
I lived in Fort Churchill in 1970 till 1971 May...went to Hearne Hall grade 8 there...my Mom was a Foster Mother...
I'm a big polar bear fanatic.
Shoutout to anyone in Ms. Salisbury's class
I wish it wasn't so expensive to go to Churchill.
Lived in Churchill for 23 most enjoyable years and still miss the place
What years did you live there?
From March 1956 till Sept 1979
LOvely Video
When the Northern Lights get lower they give off a sound from their energy that is created. The Older People used to say that if you whistled at them they would come down and chase you. A lot of the Indigenous people believed this and were scared of the Northern Lights.
It might be nice to swim in now! 😀
Would love to see drone footage of the Fort Churchill, we were in I row when J and K row of pmqs was starting to be closed...used to shop at the Commisary and go by bus to Town to shop at the Hudson Bay Store...
I lived in ft Churchill and churçhillfrom march24 to april26 I'm now almost 60 I want to show my wife and adult soñ an daughter wherein was made a Sather
🖤
Now I know why it is called ManiSNOWba
I saw only a fraction of THE NORTHERN LIGHTS from my backyard in Winnipeg in 1979. That was the last time.
Remind me of 21 yrs ago I was there for the Polar Bear, just unfortunately nothing can be seen but a few kilometres away……….
I likely never go...I been as far north to Lynn Lake, Manitoba.
Nice film. Just wondering why they not mentioned the star fort nearby the town. Probably because nobody knows who built it........
Minus 60 Celsius eh? I was in Yellowknife back in 2018 for a couple nights. It was in August. My taxi driver told me that it only gets down to minus 50 Celsius there. But for longer than it does in Red Deer, Alberta.
Looks amazing but how long would you need to stay to see the borealis?
During the winter, it's on every night! Lived there for three years. 😲
Every day?
Wow, this video is spectacular. Can someone let me know what months specifically to view the Aurora lights, polar bears and beluga whales? I believe the whales are July - August?
July - August = Beluga whale season, and polar bears can be viewed but from further away usually lounging on the shorelines!
October - November = Polar bear season
February - March = Aurora season, but the northern lights can definitely be viewed year-round as long as the conditions are right!
@@TravelManitoba thank you so much! Is it true that we can only fly or take a train to Churchill or are we able to drive? We are from Alberta.
@@tguderyan33 Happy to help. Indeed it's true that there are no roads to Churchill!! You can either take the train from Winnipeg or drive to a northern community such as Thompson and take the train from there, for a shorter trip. The other option is to fly.
They do ever get really cold up there in churchill?
If your main source of income in your city is polar bear sightings then I think thats a hint lol.
Dream live in manitoba canada from indonesia
You need to experience -30 weather. Welcome to Manitoba. Cold. Colder than a Witches mouth. Colder than a witches heart. It's very cold.
What are the other 6 sites? I would visit Manitoba after watching this if I knew what the other 6 are. I can not find them.
Look up "7 Wonders of Manitoba" and the other Travel Manitoba videos should come up.
@@taramamchuk6639 Thank you, I did eventually find them (perhaps I should be less lazy :-) ). Manitoba is on our list for visiting this summer and fall. It is a wonderful province.
That dog in the beginning, her name is laika GD malamute
Is there a bar?
Oh, Churchill! You mean the most major of the communities not considered important enough to be granted access to infrastructure by the Province of Manitoba?
Another example of how Manitoba enjoys the benefits of Federal transfer payments without actually following its most important contingencies.....access to a guaranteed livelihood.
If you are cut off from the rest of Canada but remain in isolated area's to maintain Canada's claim to the land, you are being denied your right to ease toward gaining and maintaining a livelihood which is one of our primary rights. Being offered the opportunity to move from your home to escape a lack of access is technically an illegal proposition for our Provincial Government to insist.
Look it up. If our majority wants this quality of life then Manitoba should succede from Canada and pay people like me a settlement to cover departure back to our country of origin. Canada.
I prefer to stay in Southern California
We prefer that too.
be a man! Experience life in a freezer for a few days like your ancestors
I feel bad for the crows and ravens up there…
