In August 2021 we traveled to Churchill, Manitoba (Canada) in search of the Churchill Trifecta: Bears, Belugas, and (Aurora) Borealis. While peak polar bear season doesn't happen until October/November, summer is a less-busy travel season that is stunningly beautiful and less crowded, and is the only time of year when it's possible to see all 3 attractions. In addition to its natural wonders, Churchill is also home to some amazing Cold War-era military facilities and an outdoor art installation called Seawalls Churchill that celebrates life in the North. The local population includes Indigenous peoples who have lived in the area for generations and a visionary team of guides who are working to put Churchill on the map as a premiere tourism destination.
