Earth Hour 2010

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

We are very excited to be partnering again with WWF-Canada to promote Earth Hour, an event that takes place on March 27, 2010 at 8:30 pm where hundreds of millions of people around the world will turn off their lights for an hour to demand action on climate change.

This year, Earth Hour has a new contest where people can upload a photo essay or video to tell WWF-Canada what steps they are taking for the planet – big or small. Once uploaded, they are entered to win a trip for two to see polar bears in Churchill, Manitoba with us – Frontiers North!

We continuously blogged about our 2009 Earth Hour contest winner and we are looking forward to supporting the event again by hosting our excited 2010 winners up in Churchill. We are also supporting the cause by turning off our own office lights on Friday, March 26 for an entire day to do our part to raise awareness for Earth Hour.

Here is our video Blog from the North of our 2009 Earth Hour winner’s trip to Churchill and other promotional Earth Hour videos:

TODAY Show on the Tundra Buggy Lodge

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

We love hosting media on all of our adventures. A few years ago, we hosted Al Roker from NBC’s TODAY show in Churchill to do a segment on our Tundra Buggy Adventure. He even stayed overnight at our Tundra Buggy Lodge.

Check out the segment below!

‘In one day alone we saw 54 polar bears.’

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Photographer Michelle Valberg travelled to Churchill and captured some amazing polar bear and other arctic wildlife images that were recently featured in the Ottawa Citizen.

Michelle was fortunate to see over 54 polar bears in one day.  In total, she snapped 6,140 photos on her trip for a book she’s working on entitled ‘The Land & Life of the Inuit … Through the Generations.’ Proceeds from this book will be donated to aid literacy and fitness and recreation for Inuit children.

Here are some of her images. To view her story in the Ottawa Citizen and more photos, click here.
