Tanya McCready, Founder of Winterdance

Growing up in the middle of her Grandparents farm, Tanya McCready has adored animals and the outdoors her whole life too. Passionate about the environment she pursued a degree in Environmental Engineering at Guelph and continued on to earn her P.Eng., before deciding with her husband, Hank DeBruin, that their passion for the wilderness and their dogs were taking them in a different direction.

2 years ago Hank & Tanya quit their jobs and left their home in the city to move to Ontario's wilderness with their beloved huskies to start a business, family and lifestyle.  They now welcome over 2000 guests every winter to experience dogsledding. Hank & their huskies have competed in 6 – 1000 mile races in Alaska & the Yukon and they have written 2 books - the latest an international best seller. 

They share their lives with their 4 children, 5 cats and large Siberian Husky family.
