Churchill Wild, an operator of fly-in polar bear eco-lodges on Manitoba’s Hudson Bay coast, was recognized with the sustainable tourism award at Travel Manitoba’s awards gala in Winnipeg earlier this month.
The sustainable tourism award recognized Churchill Wild for providing customized adventures in the Arctic ecosystem that promote conservation of wildlife and vegetation while creating social and economic benefits for local communities.
“We’re very honoured to receive this award,” said Churchill Wild co-owner Mike Reimer, who owns the business with his wife Jeanne, in a press release. “We’ve worked very hard over the past 30 years to ensure our remote lodges and polar bear safaris have minimal impact on the pristine Arctic environments we operate in. We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished, and it’s wonderful to be appreciated for our efforts.”
