Churchill , a tiny town on a spit of land jutting into Hudson Bay , is the polar bear capital of the world.

The average polar bear tourist spends about $5,000 a visit, pumping more than $7 million into the tiny town.

A bear mauled two people in an alley late on Halloween night before a third person scared off the animal.

Churchill and province officials "put together a polar bear alert program to make sure the community members were looked after, protected" The guards are expected to scare any bears away with warning shots, flares, bear spray or noise.

The town's old curfew siren blares nightly at 10 p.m. , suggesting to people that it's time to go home for safety.
