Dancing with the Stars Wood Buffalo was the brainchild of broker Len Clarke and the team at Sutton Group – Fort McMurray, Alta. The event was based on the popular reality television show and all proceeds benefited the Fort McMurray SPCA.

The dance teams were to include six experienced dancers paired with well-known community members including Realtor Sean McFatridge and Lynn Edwards, associate broker at Sutton Group – Fort McMurray.  She was paired with a local theatre actor and dancer Dustin Young. McFatridge was to dance with Kim Hurley, owner of Generation Dance Studio.
