  Type: 1. Origin — Tundra Buggy is the name for the vehicles used by Frontiers North Adventures, a tourism company based in Churchill, Manitoba. According to the company's website, the first Tundra Buggy was built in 1979, and since then sixteen buggies have been built. The current model seats forty passengers (see Tundra Buggy reference). The term is most prevalent in Canada (see Chart 1). Within Canada, hits are concentrated in the Yukon, Manitoba and Saskatchewan (see Chart 2). It must be noted that 99.4% of Yukon hits refer to Churchill, Manitoba, as do 100% of the Saskatchewan hits, which is why we label the term as "Manitoba".
