The Canadian Tourism Commission is currently offering a contest to US residents for a trip of a lifetime to one of five selected destinations in Canada of their choice.  We were very happy to see that one of the trips of a lifetime offered is to experience the beluga whales in Churchill!

FNA in Manitoba Voyageur Magazine

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

Manitoba Voyageur is an industry magazine published quarterly by Travel Manitoba designed to keep members of the tourism industry up-to-date on currents issues, initiatives and events. In the Spring 2010 issue, we were featured on page 4 for hosting Mary Carillo and NBC in Churchill last autumn alongside the Canadian Tourism Commission and Travel Manitoba. The results of our efforts were extremely successful, as NBC aired two Churchill vignettes during their coverage of the 2010 Winter Olympics to over 20 million viewers.

2010 Northern Lights & Winter Nights Recap

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

Our 2010 Northern Lights & Winter Nights adventure has officially come to an end. We first would like to extend a big thank you to Travel Manitoba and the Canadian Tourism Commission for supporting and helping coordinate our fantastic media guests on our adventure. The trip was definitely a huge success!

We had a great week. We made many new friends and had a blast. The stars aligned for our evening Tundra Buggy excursions across the frozen Churchill River, where we experienced amazing northern lights viewing. Also, our snowshoeing adventure with our friend Mike Macri, our experience at the start line of the Hudson Bay Quest and dogsledding excursion with Blue Sky Mush were all excellent.

A key message we sent home with our Northern Lights & Winter Nights guests is that the community of Churchill and tour operators know tourism and are successful at delivering world-class service when thousands of guests visit during October and November for polar bears. The cool part about visiting Churchill in March for northern lights, dog-sledding and snow shoeing — essentially the “off-season” — is that our group alone were able to benefit from the knowledge and experience of Churchill’s tourism professionals on a more intimate level.

Here are some images that we took of the adventure!
