Ben McCully
Celebrity Dancer, Morning Co-Host K-ROCK 100.5

McCully has been rocking & rolling on the radio for almost 12 years in Nova Scotia, Ottawa, and for over 4 years in Fort McMurray; but the question is, can he dance?

Well, ask all the ladies of Stellarton High School in Nova Scotia in the 90s...or the weekend patrons of the Halifax Liquor Dome while McCully was pursuing a journalism degree at King's College...or the rug cutters at the Newfie Club here in Fort McMurray. Okay, so there's no formal dance training, but he likes to get down and have fun whenever possible.

McCully also likes to get down and help out great causes, and as the owner of an intelligent cat with his own twitter page, he knows that the SPCA is a wonderful cause. He also helps out with the Family Crisis Society and sits on the Harvest of Hope planning committee.

When not on the air, hosting events around McMurray, or having one sided conversations with Socks the Cat; McCully enjoys spending time working out at Mac Island, rehearsing for Keyano Theatre productions, watching wrestling, or inexplicably taking pictures of Wood Buffalo skies.

Vanessa is extremely excited to participate in DWTS Wood Buffalo and is honored to be part of an event that supports the SPCA. She loves animals and believes this event is a fun and entertaining way to get the community involved and help the SPCA. She is 100% ready to have fun and “Rock” the dance floor with her partner.

Sheldon Germain
Celebrity Dancer, RMWB Councilor and Vice-Principal Holy Trinity High School

Most may know Sheldon Germain as a Regional Councilor and Vice-Principal at Holy Trinity High School, but he hopes to soon add “Winner of Dancing with the Stars Wood Buffalo” to his titles.

He has served on many boards and committees, including as Chair of the Northern Classic outdoor hockey game and currently sits on the MacDonald Island Park Board of Directors.

Having grown up in Fort McMurray, Sheldon has experienced first-hand the significant growth his community has undergone which is why he believes that Fort McMurray is a place that anything is possible if we work together. And he says if anything is possible, it’s definitely possible for his partner Lela to train his two left feet to dance.

Sheldon is looking forward to Dancing with the Star as an opportunity to share his time to support this unique fundraiser for the SPCA.

Not confident that he could learn to dance, Jamie was hesitant at first to participate in Dancing with the Stars Wood Buffalo.

Amy Howden
Dance Instructor, Keyano Dance Conservatory

Amy Howden grew up in Vancouver, B.C. and came to Fort McMurray in June 2011, along with her husband, 3 dogs and 2 ferrets. Although employed in the Government, she started dance instruction at Keyano Dance Conservatory last fall.

Her dancing career started at the age of six at a children's performance company in Burnaby, B.C. where she studied a variety of dance styles ranging from ballet to hip-hop to Irish dance and even began teaching her own classes at 13. She has had the opportunity to both perform and instruct in dozens of different venues, including travelling with DaCi, an International dance conference. Certified under Dance and Gym USA, Amy has also been the guest judge at studio competitions and is excited to be on the receiving end this time around.

Amy is very passionate about animals. Her career path has also included zookeeping where she worked rehabilitating exotic animals such as snakes, lizards, gators, turtles and arachnids that had been abandoned and abused by their owners. During her time with the government, Amy came to meet a dog that nearly froze to death which she rescued and later adopted. Having experienced first-hand the devastating effects that abuse and neglection can have on animals, she has become a strong advocate for animal welfare and is huge supporter of the SPCA.

For Amy, participating as a dance instructor for Dancing with the Stars and volunteering her time was an easy decision knowing that her passion for animals and dance would support the SPCA’s fundraiser and their mission to find forever homes for rescued animals.

Amy is excited to work with her partner, Jamie, and can't wait to get on the stage so they can take it by storm.

Cst. Courtney Dawe
Celebrity Dancer, Wood Buffalo RCMP, GIS/Persons Crime Unit

Originally from Conception Bay South, NL, Courtney moved to Fort McMurray 7 years after receiving her first post with the RCMP. Constable Dawe served three years in uniform doing General Duty Policing, four years in the Persons Crime Unit investigating serious crimes and now currently serves as the Staff Relations Sub Representative for over 215 police officers working within the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo. Prior to joining the RCMP, Courtney studied Criminology at Memorial University of Newfoundland & Labrador in St. John’s, NL.

Courtney’s interests in participating in the community and in outdoor recreation and athletics are fed through her involvement with the local Search and Rescue Club, enjoying the training opportunities and helping citizens in need. An avid rugby player with over 10 years of experience, she has played rugby for the local club since 2006 and was recently elected as the vice president of the Women’s Rugby Program in Fort McMurray.

And when she’s not doing that, Courtney and her fiancé (Scott) enjoy a wide variety of outdoor activities together including quadding, sledding and travelling.

While Courtney really enjoyed herself at last year’s event, the main reason she agreed to participate is for her love of animals and support for the SPCA. In March 2007, she adopted her cat, Nalah from the SPCA who has come to be the most faithful and affectionate animal she’s ever had. She also has two Golden Labrador Retrievers named Moss and Bentley and says that the only thing stopping her from adopting more animals is space and money.

Courtney is overly excited for this year’s Dancing with the Stars Wood Buffalo and hopes that her lack of dancing experience will be overshadowed by her huge fundraising goals for the SPCA!

Andre Lusan
Dance Instructor, Senior Planning Specialist/Maintenance Engineer, North American Construction Group, Fort McMurray

Andre arrived in Fort McMurray with wife almost 10 years ago from Brisbane Australia. His wife had always wanted to come to Canada so when he was offered a position with a small mining contractor he quickly accepted, and as he says, “the rest is history.”

No stranger to the mining industry, Andre’s career in mining started in 1975 in Australia and has taken him to Papua New Guinea and now Canada. He currently works at North American Construction Group as a Senior Planning Specialist/Maintenance Engineer and has been with the company for 5 years.

Married for 40 years (to the same person he jokes), Andre and his wife Julie both enjoy golf, gardening and ballroom dancing and are members of the Fort McMurray Golf Club and the Fort McMurray Social Dance Club.

Andre refers to himself as neither a professional nor amateur dancer, but a social dancer. He began ballroom dancing at 16 when his sister took him for dance lessons so he could dance at his eldest sister’s wedding and loved it. A big part of the appeal as a young man playing Australian Rules football was the opportunity to dance with girls. He continued dancing after the wedding and hasn’t stopped since.

His talent and enjoyment of dancing must be hereditary as all of his children are gifted ballroom dancers. His two sons became competitive dancers and his daughter completed all her dance medals in the junior ranks.

Reluctant at first (insisting he’s really not that good) Andre agreed to participate in Dancing with the Stars Wood Buffalo to support a great cause, because he enjoys the reality show and in memory of his dog (Boof) who he had to leave with his daughter in Australia when they moved to Canada.

The Mundy family would not be complete without their three dogs named Eowyn, Xander and Helly. Scott understands first-hand the impact of adopting a shelter dog has on a family and the dog. He adopted Xander from the SPCA after she had been found severely beaten and left to starve. “She is the most loving dog you could ever meet and I don’t understand how anyone could be cruel to her,” he says.

In his spare time, Scott enjoys cycling and is a member of the McMurray Force cycling team and participates every year in The Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer. He’s happy to know that his involvement helps raise money for cancer research.

Despite having no dance experience - Scott’s says his dance experience is limited to some unique dance moves he coined during his university days – he was super excited when asked to participate in Dancing with the Stars. He loves to be involved in community events and thought it would be a fun way to support a local charity, especially the SPCA. Scott is thankful for the important work that the SPCA does for our community because if it were not for them, Xander would not be a part of his family. Scott is dancing for Xander, and the thousands of other dogs just like him, that the SPCA rescues annually.
