Churchill

Churchill is a community North of 53 in Manitoba, best known as the polar bear capital of the world, and only slightly less known as the beluga capital of the world. For a multi-purpose capital, though, it's very small, with a permanent population of only 870 people (2021), who live on the shore of Hudson Bay, the bank of the Churchill River, and just past the treeline of the boreal forest.
