This year has been hard for all and fans of travelling have been extremely limited on what and where they can go outside their own communities and countries. That’s why this story is interesting. In October, Vancouver native Micheal Downie and his father decided to explore the beauty of Canada in Churchill, Manitoba with the goal to connect with nature and see polar bears. Every year, hundreds of polar bears travel through Churchill on their way to the coast of Hudson Bay. Downie began posting his travels on TikTok and quickly racked up views along with attention from media around the country. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt was incredible, these animals are huge and they\u2019re calm,\u201d Downie told CTV News Channel<\/a><\/strong>. \u201cThis time of year they\u2019re congregating in Churchill because that\u2019s where the ice freezes first. They\u2019ve been on land and haven\u2019t eaten in months. Travel\u2019s been cancelled internationally, so I looked to British Columbia first where I could explore here and then Canada on a large scale, he said. \u201cChurchill was open for travel back in October, so I decided it was my chance to make that trip that I\u2019ve always wanted to do.\u201d<\/p>\n Check out Downie’s first video below the full eight on TikTok. The beauty of the Northern Manitoba is undeniable.<\/p>\n Traveling to see polar bears with my dad.
