Quoting the town's website:
Churchill is located on the south western
shores of Hudson Bay at the mouth of the historic Churchill River, approximately
1000 kilometers north of Winnipeg. With a latitude of 58.47 N, Churchill is
Manitoba’s most northern community and is accessible by air and rail. Our small
and unique community has a population of approximately 1100 persons.

The
town's emblem features a polar bear surmonted by northern lights and surrounded
by a purple "C" letter ending in a whale's tail. The emblem highlights the main
resources of the town, recalling that Churchill is the "Polar Bear Capital of
the World".
