Northern Manitoba holds many secrets, most of them accessible only those brave few who explore on canoe or seaplane. Polar bears, seals, trophy-size fish, all under the canopy of the brilliant Northern Lights - this is the stunning wilderness you will find in Northern Manitoba.

Churchill

Looking for a remote encounter with the Canadian North? If so, the Polar Bear Capital of the World, Churchill, is your destination. Only accessible by plane or train, Churchill offers wildlife at your fingertips, and history waiting to be discovered at museums and sites.

York Factory

York Factory has been an original fur trading post since the late 17th Century. Its remote location is ideal for those canoeing the North, as it is steeped in history and northern beauty.

Thompson and The Pas

Thompson is the largest city in Northern Manitoba, and also one of the newest communities in the province, established only after a major nickel ore body was discovered in the Thompson Nickel Belt in 1956. The Pas is actually a collection of three major communities, and played an important role in the unification of the province of Manitoba with the 'New North'.
