Anvil Digital in Churchill

Friday, March 19th, 2010

This past Autumn we had the pleasure of hosting some of our Winnipeg industry partners up in Churchill to experience a full-day Tundra Buggy Adventure, and to also help us honour Debby the Polar Bear by Gordon Point. Justin Gagnon and Carly Thompson of Anvil Digital (the agency that created our amazing 3D rendering of Tundra Buggy One featured on our Tundra Buggy website) joined us and put together this great video blog of their experience with us. Check it out!

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.
