Megan’s life went to the dogs in 1993 when she was introduced to mushing in the Northwest Territories on the remote east arm of Great Slave Lake. For a month she ran dog teams over frozen lakes and under the northern lights while caribou herds migrated south. She returned home, promptly gave up two perfectly good careers and now runs dogs for a living! Megan covered the racing spectrum from skijoring to sprinting to stage racing to long-distance racing. The attraction to distance racing, the most challenging endeavor she’s ever done, is the extraordinary bond that forms between a musher and her dogs. Megan now feels grateful to be able to live a life with dogs and share this world with visitors to the Park.

Rob gave up kangaroos and crocs for a life with sled dogs. He first stepped on the runners in 2018 and hasn’t looked back. He has
run dogs in the North West Territories, BC and Alberta and has participated in several races, carrying along his teapot and Aussie Swag for comfort. Rob’s favorite place to be after on a dog sled, is in the seat of a tractor. Now a proud Canadian, he is here to stay.

Jared is a home grown Canadian bush boy, hailing from the deep forests of Ontario. Jared is an accomplished guide and dog musher and will make you feel safe and cosy while sharing oodles of information about sleddogs, the Park, and all the historical aspects of both. When not dog mushing Jared can be found on solo canoe
expeditions in the vast Canadian waterways.

Emily grew up in her dad’s sled-dog kennel and learned to run dog teams at such an early age she doesn’t know what she knows! It’s in her blood and as natural as walking for her. She’s a dog whisperer and can bring even the most cautious dog around to her gentle touch. Several dogs from outside kennels have benefited from Emily’s doggie ways. When not running teams, Emily is a warden on Ontario’s lake Systems.

As soon as she left her diapers Cynthia knew she wanted to be a musher, and at 13 years young she started on this journey.  In 2009 she attended the world championships in Quebec where she met mushers from all over the world, and this inspired her to continue to pursue her dream.  After working double shifts in all manners of employment, Cynthia  now has her own kennel of 20 dogs and has traveled by dog team all over Canada and Argentina.

Reece joins us from England where she had a successful doggie daycare business. Reece knows the mind of a dog and speaks Bowwow fluently.  Dogs love Reece and Reece loves dogs.

Uel has worked with us, on and off, since 2008. He spent many years guiding and is now content to supervise the elders in the Kingmik Retirement Home. Long walks, yummy meals and blissful naps.

Julie is the friendly and efficient voice that greets you on the phone. She’s fast and thorough and sharp as a tack!  Julie basically ensures that things are super efficient and she keeps all us mushers in line.
