Sheldon Kennedy is one of this year's Celebrity Dancers and tells us: "I am honoured and excited to be a part of Sheraton Celebrity Dance Off 2017. I am inspired by the community's passion and commitment to doing what is needed for children and youth suffering from abuse." Sheldon adds: "To combat the mental health outcomes related to child abuse, community partners must work together. That is why I am so proud to be part of this initiative in Red Deer!"
