Protect Polar Bears

Manitoba has lost a third of its polar bear population in the past 20 years. We will lose even more as the ice in Hudson Bay continues to retreat. If we act now, we can help mother bears protect their cubs. The Manitoba government has proposed a massive provincial park stretching from Churchill all the way to the Ontario border.

Mining companies are moving into the region, seeking exploration licenses and staking claims. Join us in the fight to protect our polar bears.
