The seasonality of the weather on our planet defines and drives the lives of
every creature on earth. Humans, plants and wildlife must navigate the
changing conditions they face as a result of our planet’s annual trip around the
sun. But in some places the effects of the seasons are especially pronounced
- one of those places is Canada.
Polar bears hunting in the open summer waters of Hudson Bay, a bizarre
animal that lives underground and has 28 tentacles around its mouth instead
of eyes, frogs that actually freeze solid in the winter - miraculously coming
back to life year after year each spring, and lynx that walk on snow chasing
their elusive quarry through the northern forests – THE WILD CANADIAN
YEAR will showcase the most amazing and rare natural wonders of Canada.

wanting them to succeed.
The future of our children is common ground we can all agree is paramount to
a better world. In Bee Nation, family is at the core of that future.
