Progress at the Blueberry Inn
We are thrilled to share the latest updates on our newest project, the Blueberry Inn, located in the heart of Churchill. We are currently in the midst of phase two of the development, with a scheduled completion date in October. This exciting phase focuses on expanding our number of rooms, finalizing the interior design, landscaping, and ensuring the facility is equipped with all the amenities that our guests have come to expect from Churchill Wild.
The Blueberry Inn is designed to offer a luxurious yet cozy retreat for visitors, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the natural beauty and unique experiences that Churchill has to offer. Once completed, the Inn will provide a perfect blend of modern comforts and rustic charm, making it an ideal base for your northern adventures.

Attendees had the chance to meet local business leaders, discover unique economic prospects, and gain valuable insights into the region’s growth and innovation.

Visit to the Blueberry Inn
One of the highlights of the tour was the group’s visit to the Blueberry Inn. On July 4th, attendees had the opportunity to see firsthand the progress made on this exciting project. This visit included a tour of the Inn, where guests explored the facilities and got a sneak peek of what future guests will enjoy.
To make the visit even more special, we hosted a small gathering at the Inn where guests enjoyed local wine, beer, and freshly made Bannock. This was a perfect opportunity for attendees to unwind, network, and share their thoughts on the development.
