Description

The mythology of bears is common to the history of most cultures of the northern hemisphere, and they are celebrated in ancient legends as the symbols of courage, power and wisdom. "Polar Bear Games" brings together a party of Canada's northern wildlife in whimsical, imagined winter games, with the celebrated Polar Bear at the heart of the action under spectacular northern skies.
