Dennis Minty

If there’s a corner of the map Adventure Canada visits, chances are Dennis Minty has been there—with camera in hand, a story to tell, and an Adventure Canada cap on his head. Since 2002, Dennis has been sharing his passion for nature, photography, and lifelong learning as a naturalist and photographer. In 2022, he stepped into the role of host, and in 2023, he joined Adventure Canada’s permanent team as Senior Advisor. He now helps shape the company’s voice, mentors staff, advises leadership, and champions the Adventure Canada spirit wherever he goes. 

Dennis’s roots run deep in Newfoundland and Labrador. His career began with the creation of Salmonier Nature Park, a centre for environmental education and wildlife rehabilitation. His work has since spanned nearly three decades in conservation and education, both locally and abroad. 

At home in Clarke’s Beach, Newfoundland, Dennis enjoys a country life with his wife, Antje Springmann, and their two lively dogs. A proud family man, he treasures time with his three children and seven grandchildren. Both Antje and his daughter, Sarah Minty, are also part of the Adventure Canada story.
