Thank you to everyone who turned up to our 2026 Pumpkin Party! For those who might have missed it live, we have posted some clips from our Live Cams up on our YouTube at www.youtube.com//videos!

Huge huge thank you to Aidie Creek Gardens for donating the 1700 lb pumpkin this season. Ganuk got the pumpkin first this year, and has already left a pretty hefty hole where the soft spot used to be! Henry will be getting his turn with it in the coming days, so stay tuned for more!

The Polar Bear Habitat is asking for community support with the housing of post-secondary students taking part in our Animal Care Placement Program. This program provides valuable workplace experience for students completing studies in the animal science and veterinary fields, but is reliant upon the availability of affordable housing. We are looking to connect with members of our community who may have a room or apartment in their home to rent on a monthly basis. Most students complete the program in four weeks, but some may stay up to 6 months.

If you would like to offer your support or to learn more, please contact us at 705 272 2327 or [email protected].

This is ‘Choice Training’! This type of session puts the bears in control by letting them choose what they would like to eat and when.

Happy Thanksgiving weekend! We will be OPEN from 9 am to 5 pm for the long weekend. On Tuesday October 13th, we will be moving into our winter hours from 10am - 4pm, 7 days a week.

Autumn into early winter is a great time to visit us. With the cooler weather, the bears are starting to become more active. For those who visit or watch online, you may see the bears playing with their enrichment items more often or simply spending more time outdoors in general!

For more details on how to visit or contact us, please see our website.

One of Henry’s favourite enrichment items is big water jugs! With many of his enrichment items and toys, we notice Henry hoarding all his toys either in one place or trying to keep them all in his paws

Did you know polar bears target the blubber of seals when hunting? Recently, we received a barrel of rendered down seal blubber from Newfoundland, Canada, all sustainably harvested.

Our Animal Care Supervisor and Animal Care Team Member, Sierra spent some time pumping seal oil into ice cream buckets!

These buckets are stored in a freezer in the Bear Holding building and are used as a part of the bears daily diets!

Twice a year, our animal care team canoe’s the 11 acre lake, inside the Davis Enclosure, to collect all the toys.

Here you can see all the toys our team collected this fall! These toys will be brought to bear holding to be cleaned again for our bears to bring them back out to the lake.
