Winnipeg, Canada Frontiers North Adventures Full time

Since 1987, Frontiers North Adventures has hosted guests in and around the subarctic community of Churchill, Manitoba to dine beneath the northern lights, drift amongst beluga whales, and lock eyes with wild polar bears. Our programs are meaningfully designed for wildlife and culture enthusiasts, photographers, families, and experiential adventure travellers. We consider ourselves stewards of the resources made available to us with the goal of conducting our business in a safe and sustainable manner. As the first Certified B Corporation in Canada’s tourism industry, using business as a force for good, we work hard to leave a positive impact on our guests, our team of employees, and the environments and communities in which we operate. Frontiers North Adventures works and hosts guests on Treaty 1, 2, and 5 Territories, which include the traditional and ancestral lands of the Cree, Ojibway, Oji-Cree, Dakota, Dene, Inuit, and the homeland of the Red River Métis Nation.

The people that comprise Frontiers North share in the stewardship of the resources made available to us and conduct themselves in a safe and sustainable manner. Whether they work on the tundra, in a Tundra Buggy®, at the Ptarmigan, the Tundra Pub, the Tundra Inn, or behind a desk, our employees work hard to benefit our guests and the ecosystems and communities in which we operate, and passionately share those values with our guests. We are the official Conservation Journey® and Tundra Buggy® people.
