Ontario's Coastal Rail Experience
The Gateway to the Arctic – Cochrane to Moosonee
Let the Polar Bear Express bring you to Ontario’s only coastline, in the “deep south” of the Arctic Ocean. You will be welcomed to the Homeland of the Moose Cree, as many others before you, in the ancient spirit of Šawelihcikewin (Sha-well-chee-KE-win). This term translates literally as “receiving with gratitude and a desire to give back.”
