Buck Paradise Staff

Grant and Lana

Owner/Operator

Buck Paradise started in 1997 and it grew fast and furious. When you love what you do it isn't work. When not outfitting Grant grain farms over 3000 acres with Ian and Garet. Lana works full time for Cenovus Energy. We both love people and are thankful for this business and grateful for the people we have met who are now dear friends. We are also blessed to have the best staff we could ask for that we consider our family. Enjoy the rest of the staff gallery. Without these wonderful people we would not be able to make Buck Paradise the success that it is!

Raymond

Chef

Raymond Duddy comes from Ceylon, Saskatchewan with 25 years of cooking experience. He also has 10 years at a high end fishing lodge in Northern Saskatchewan. He specializes in homemade baking and home cooked meals. Food is the heart of the home and Ray makes sure there is always of plenty of food. There isn't much better than the smell of homeade bread or cinnamon buns and always plenty of bacon and fresh ground coffee in the AM. The evening there is typically some Grade AAA beef grillin on the Traegar. Scrumptious! If you have been here, you know what we are talking about. We are grateful to have Ray as part of our Buck Paradise family.
