Good news for Churchill’s tourism industry.
They’ve been informed by Federal Minister Shelley Glover, that new beluga whale regulations will not take effect in Churchill at this time.
The Town of Churchill and the Beluga Whale Tour Operators had been lobbying the new federal regulations, due to concerns it would negatively impact their tourism industry.
The new federal regulation would have required the tour operators to keep a 50m distance from the whales.
