YES, YOU CAN VISIT!
The Habitat is once again open to the public as of July 1. All guests must reserve their entry time in advance.
WELCOME TO OUR NEW STORE!
New store. New products. Same great organization.
You asked and we answered. Sweatshirts, t-shirts, canvas prints, mugs, stickers, magnets, and more — all featuring your favourite bears and your favourite Polar Bear Habitat.
Check back often, as we will be updating our inventory with new polar bear items and unique creations from local artisans.
While we are currently limited in what we can produce because of COVID-19, please get in touch if there's a product you'd like to see!
OUR VISION
While Canadian Polar Bear Habitat focuses strictly on polar bears, we want our online marketplace to be a celebration of the art, culture, and life across Northern Ontario, too.
We aim to showcase unique and handmade creations while providing Northern Ontario artisans and vendors a platform to proudly display and sell their products.
Potential vendors submit an application to our Market Committee, which will review applications at intake periods.
We will partner with vendors who sell products that are local, handmade, and sustainable.
BECAUSE YOU CARE ABOUT THE BEARS
The Canadian Polar Bear Habitat offers the most space in the world for polar bears in human care, all while providing unique research opportunities for polar bear specialists.
The Habitat is currently home to Ganuk, Inukshuk, Henry, and Eddy, who could not survive without human help.
The proceeds from sales on the Habitat Market help fund the operations of the Habitat - that includes feeding the bears, providing regular medical checkups, and granting ongoing training opportunities to our Animal Care Staff.
Thank you for your support!
