Your Authentic Artic Experience

Accounted for in the Park Establishment Agreement from April 24, 1996 and since acquiring Tundra Buggy Tours in 1999, FNA has had the exclusive opportunity to host guests at Cape Churchill inside Wapusk National Park.

On October 19, 2007 the Wapusk National Park Management Plan was tabled by the Minister of the Environment and approved by Canadian Parliament. The new Management Plan made clear that after 2009, FNA would be required to participate in a competitive bid process in order to win the right host guests at the Cape. On June 19th, 2009, we submitted our bid to operate at the Cape Churchill during 2010 – 2015.

At about 10:30 this morning we were on the phone with Cam Elliot, Parks Canada Agency’s superintendent for Wapusk National Park and he communicated to us FNA’s was the winning bid to receive a business license to operate at Cape Churchill between 2010 and 2015.

Yay!
