A study published this week has painted a grim picture of the future of polar bears, particularly in the low Arctic.

In-province 'staycations' in Manitoba are looking more and more popular this year as interprovincial travel remains restricted in Canada due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"With no polar ice, there will not be polar bears," said Brandon Laforest, a senior specialist of Arctic species at WWF Canada.

The effects of climate change are also forcing polar bears closer to humans.

Many are planning to go on shorter vacations before the spring. Here are the top Canadian destinations to visit in the cold.

The bear will likely have trouble hunting due to a decreased ability to camouflage itself.

The project, in connection with explore.org, Frontiers North Adventures, and Parks Canada, aims to showcase the annual migration of Manitoba's polar bear population in real-time, from the tundra to Arctic sea ice where they hunt for seals.

A Manitoba polar bear is often the posterchild for climate change, dealing with the effects of a changing environment.

The Manitoba Moose raised more than $25,000 was raised in the first three years of their four-year partnership with the Assiniboine Park Zoo.

The Assiniboine Park Zoo is getting into the holiday spirit with a 'North Polar Party' Saturday and Sunday.
