The renovations are complete….take a look at our shiny new Tundra Buggy Gift Shop. A great big thank you to the entire crew for all their hard work!
Lots of new items have been added to the shop.
Be sure to stop by soon.
As you can see from the pictures we’ve got lots of new items in the shop as well. When you’re in Churchill, be sure to stop by. Don’t forget, you can also shop online at www.polarbearstuff.com.
In 2009, long-time WWF volunteer Wanda Hall won the Earth Hour contest and traveled to Churchill with Frontiers North Adventures to see polar bears and other wildlife.
Wanda has travelled far and wide to see animals in the wild, but she said that this trip in particular, getting to see polar bears in their natural environment, made her realize how important it is that we decrease our footprint on the earth.
Wanda also happens to be the gal behind WWF’s panda mascot. Read all about Wanda’s adventure as the WWF panda mascot meeting Frontiers North polar bear. http://blog.wwf.ca/blog/2010/07/20/why-i-volunteer-wanda-hall/
We’re thrilled to know that Wanda had such a great experience with us in Churchill.
A few months ago we blogged about hosting Ice Bear Project sculptor Mark Coreth in Churchill and how his life-sized ice sculptures of polar bears that symbolize the fragility of the Arctic were featured at the UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen.
The Ice Bear project continues to be an important message and must be heard by everyone. PBI Species Expert Andrew Derocher has informed us that a new study coming out shortly in Biological Conservation will continue to illustrate major threats to polar bear reproduction (particularly in the Churchill population) if the sea ice trends and warming of the planet continue.
Mark’s latest Ice Bear sculpture was on display in Montreal this past weekend. Here are some images from this event.
