CHURCHILL, 2001

Churchill is a town in the province of Manitoba which is situated between Hudson Bay and the Churchill River. The thriving 'metropolis' has a population of around 900 hearty people of which a great percentage are Inuit (Eskimos are a different tribe). The main industry, other than tourism, is the export of grain by ship.
