Meet Wally

Wally is proud to be the first generation of his family born and raised in Manitoba and Canada. His father escaped from Communist Russia before World War II and settled on a farm near Tolstoi, and later was part of the family cattle operation, near Minitonas. Wally’s mother came from central Europe shortly after the war. His parents worked and raised their family in Winnipeg, and operated an apiary on the side.

As a young man, Wally worked in Churchill as a guide for polar bear and Beluga whale watching. He took time away to study in the United States
where he met and married Dawn, his wife.

Wally and Dawn started up their own polar bear and Beluga whale watching business in Churchill that now boasts a full-service lodge constructed of logs Wally cut out of a local stand of fire-killed trees, a greenhouse, and people movers on land and Hudson Bay. They count their greatest accomplishment as being mom and dad to four daughters and one son!

Wally and Dawn live near Morden when not in Churchill, and are active in community affairs, in politics and in their church.
