Churchill, Manitoba was featured again on NBC as part of their primetime Winter Olympics coverage. One of our dogsledding adventure partners, Blue Sky Expeditions, were featured Wednesday night. What makes their story so special is that they are the proud owners of a blind sled dog. Watch the inspirational video below!

We have a great relationship with Travel Manitoba, a Destination Marketing Organization that promotes Manitoba as an awesome place to vacation. We found a great video they posted on their YouTube channel of 3 excited tourists on one of our Tundra Buggy adventures. They also were able to participate in a dogsledding adventure.

Dave Daley can now say he has!
For those who haven’t had the great pleasure of meeting Dave, he is the owner of Churchill-based Wapusk Adventures, a family-run dog sledding company. Dave and his authentic dogsledding adventures in the boreal forest is a favourite of our Polar Bears in Churchill guests. This past month, Dave kicked off 2010 by travelling 1,200 kilometres with his team of sled dogs from Churchill to Winnipeg to raise awareness for Manitoba Homecoming, a year long celebration that will bring former Manitobans back to the province to participate in festivals and events.
Dave, along with four Canadian Rangers, began his journey from Churchill on Sunday, January 3 and arrived at The Forks in Winnipeg on Saturday, January 23.
These images were captured on Dave’s last leg of the run between St Laurent, Manitoba and Winnipeg as he drove the sled dogs down Asssiniboine river to The Forks.

When the weather is right, guests are treated to not only a spectacular dogsledding adventure, but great birding as well. It is not uncommon to be visited by Whisky Jacks in the northern sections of the boreal forest near Churchill. Here are some great images from one of our adventures in November.
