Found in the heart of Canada near the Hudson Bay coast, Churchill has possessed a rich diversity of plants as evidence by northern boreal forest and tundura. In addition, abundant bird species seen during late May through mid-July in the town made Churchill a birdwatcher’s paradise. You also cannot ignore its rich marine life and cultural heritage which are part of Churchill’s established identity.

Known to be the polar bear and beluga whale capital of the world, Churchill had been so active with its year round activities, thanks to their thousand but unique and strong human populations. These activities had kept the town alive and had entertained visitors and locals as well. The Churchill Arts Council is composed of some of those individuals. The Churchill Arts Council was founded back in 1985. However, the art activities in the town were practiced as early as 1940s and were initiated by American military USO shows. The council is a member of the Manitoba Arts Council and Manitoba Arts Network.

Their commander was Captain Thomas Button , later to be Admiral Sir Thomas Button. Behind the voyage stood the chivalry and wealth and indeed the Royalty of England. committed to the discovery of a “North West Passage” to the Orient by Hudson’s new found strait. The enterprise had been launched in full confidence that the way lay open. and now the low shoreline was ahead , stretching north and south out of sight.
