You are 100% right. I see more American vehicles driving around in Selkirk than I do in Winnipeg. All going north for fishing. Lots of the smaller tour companies fly out of St. Andrews airport.
Churchill would be the number one draw for overseas tourists. It’s too bad our province continues to neglect building a road to Churchill. the tourist benefits alone would justify it, more people would go to Churchill if they could afford to go there, but it’s cheaper to fly to Europe. not to mention that having a road would allow Churchill to become a distribution centre for the rest of the north lowering the cost of goods for everyone up there and providing more jobs.
