		Just southeast of Churchill, facing Hudson Bay, a prime polar bear habitat was designated as Wapusk National Park.
		Churchill, Manitoba, did not start out as "the Polar Bear Capital of the World." So rich was the early fur trade in the area, the Hudson's Bay Company established a post there as early as 1685.
		Shipment out of Churchill was much more economical than from the head of the Great Lakes; the distance was shorter to most destination ports and need for trans-shipment en route much lessened, mindful that the St. Lawrence Seaway had not yet been opened to the Great Lakes.
