New residents of Churchill, Manitoba, are encouraged to attend polar bear safety and awareness sessions.
Parks Canada and Manitoba Conservation are holding several sessions this summer and fall in the community, including one this evening.
The Hudson Bay community is known as the polar bear capital of the world, and attracts tourists who are keen for a glimpse of one of the giant white-furred predators.
But the animals also pose a threat to residents, and attacks by bears have occurred.
