Ted Grant

Following a long time desire, Ted Grant became an RCMP officer and got to know the area of the north very well while serving its communities. The regions wondrous scenery captivated him during his posting at Fort Simpson in 1976. Ted's thoughts soon turned to flying in 1981 as he developed a pastime into a second career. Purchasing Simpson Air in 1981, he became President and Chief Pilot.

Ted's love of the area, and his involvement in the community led Gus and Mary Kraus to sell their historic homestead to him when they were no longer able to care for it, knowing that Ted would regard the land the same way that they had. Ted is pleased to share that legacy of natural wonder with the Nahanni Mountain Lodge. His wilderness lodge vacations and flight tours have delighted many tourists from around the world.

Ted was involved in the Nahanni Park expansion and actively contributes to tourism and education about the Nahanni, the Deh Cho region and the Northwest Territories. He and his staff have logged many hours on flights in and around the parks and the greater region, and know the area and it's hidden treasures very well.
