Over the past few weeks the Hudson Bay polar bears have been featured in numerous news broadcasts on TV, radio and also in newspapers around the world.

Here are some of the TV news stories that we’ve managed to round up.  These videos capture everything from the recent sightings of cannibalism in polar bears, the new Assiniboine Park Zoo polar bear rescue shelter and exhibit, and how Inuit communities in the North are affected by decreased polar bear hunt quotas. Please note that the images used in some of these news stories are graphic.

Debby the Polar Bear Honoured

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

On November 13, Frontiers North, along with PBI and the Assiniboine Park Conservancy held a special ceremony out at Gordon Point in the Churchill Wildlife Management Area with some special guests to honour Debby the polar bear.  A year ago she passed away at the Assiniboine Park Zoo at the age of 42 – which made her the oldest living polar bear on record. We had Gord Glover, Assiniboine Park Zoo’s coordinator present, along with Debby’s former care givers Harold Master and Bob Debets. Bob is also one of our Tundra Buggy Drivers. Debby’s ashes were spread at Gordon Point to join her mate Skipper, who’s ashes were spread a few years ago in the same spot.

Here are some pictures of the day and a short video of the ceremony.
