Hello! My name is Dana, and for as long as I can remember I have loved water, either being in it or on it, no matter the craft. Growing up in Ontario, I was raised on lakes and rivers, and paddling has always been one of my passions. That, coupled with an undying love for sleeping outside under the stars has led me here, guiding and teaching Outdoor Education as a career; and I feel so lucky to wake up each day and do what I do. I started working for Black Feather in 2015, guiding trips down the awe-inspiring Nahanni River in Canada’s Northwest Territories. Since then, I’ve had the amazing opportunity to paddle many of the rivers Black Feather offers, as well as branching out to some pretty incredible sea kayaking as well. I’ve adventured around the world in so many incredible spaces, from New Zealand to China and beyond. But no matter where I go, the North keeps calling me back. It will do the same to you, I guarantee it. I look forward to seeing you out there.
