  • “I just wanted to thank you and your team for arranging a fantastic expedition to Churchill this past Saturday, everything was well planned and quite delightful.I found the science presentation on the way there, and the resident artist a real treat.  It was so cool to hold an actual polar bear skull. The breakfast was  was quite fine, the lunch  was wonderful and the banquet, well, that was a Wow factor!  Impressive and delicious!! I will recommend Gold Star Canadian tours to friends and colleagues.”
