00:05Hi I'm in Churchill in Manitoba in Canada where the temperature is minus 32 feels like minus 40.
00:14Churchill lies 1,000 kilometres north of Winnipeg and with no roads in or out the
00:19only way to travel here is three hours by air or two days by train. Polar bear
00:24season is in October and November when the small town becomes completely booked
00:29out sometimes for years in advance. I've been trained to be a bear guard which
00:35means when we have groups of tourists here in town we suggest that people have
00:41a bear guard with them that's somebody to keep the people safe from the bears
00:45and the bears safe from the people ultimately.
