Ali Chouman

Provincial Constable
Ontario Provincial Police

My name is Ali Chouman and I currently serve as a Provincial Constable with the Ontario Provincial Police in Huron County. My commitment to pursue a policing career within the OPP comes from a desire to giving back. Our communities are an essential part of our existence, and I am certain that in one way or another, it contributes to our growth and development. Therefore, I find it important and humbling to participate in Dancing with the Stars 911 and can give back, through this unique way.

I have never performed for an audience; and with zero dance experience, this will most definitely pull me out of my comfort zone. But, the power of giving back, is seemingly of utmost importance, because it’s easy to get inspired with a cause you truly care about—and it’s rewarding to see your direct impact. Knowing what participating in this unique event will do, propelled me to push my limits and let it all fall in place.

I have been a member of the OPP since March of 2016, working at the Communications Centre in London. Last year, I was fortunate enough to come and witness the magic of Dancing with the Stars of 911. It's safe to say, I will not be missing another year of this event! Although I could not wait to attend this year's gala, I was not expecting to do it in this manner. Over the years, many of my co-workers have participated in DWTS and have had nothing short of amazing things to say about the process and the people you get to work with. My family is an integral part of my life and having a father that is a heart patient gives me an even larger appreciation for the work that the Dave Mounsey Memorial Fund does. The money that is raised by DWTS911 goes towards the greatest cause anyone can think of, the potential to save another person's life. I am so very proud to say that I am going to be a part of Dancing with the Stars of 911 2018. Can't wait to see all of you there!!

"Hiiiiii, my name is Lindsay and I am a very proud (newish) member of the London Fire Department, working as a firefighter. I am honoured that all 6 foot 3 inches of Chris Bruinink chose me to be his partner! Although I am no ballerina I'm sure I'll be kept on my toes throughout the whole DWTS911 process!
I have always been heavily involved in volunteering so being able to support the Dave Mounsey Memorial Fund was an absolute no brainer- so excited to SWING into action!

Although I danced for eight months when I was six years old, making this piece of cake; I foresee myself needing one of those airplane sickness bags backstage on November 4th. CANT WAIT!"

"Hold the press…back-up the trucks…emergency fill-in...here we go!!! I’m Cody Workman, a proud firefighter in my hometown of London. A short 18 months ago Lindsay and I were shaking in our boots getting ready for our first day of orientation with the LFD. Fast forward a year and half, and now we will be shaking everything we got on stage for Dancing with the Stars 911! I am really stoked to be a part of this awesome event and to support the Dave Mounsey Fund and everything they do for the people in London and surrounding area.
Unfortunately I can’t say that I was Lindsay’s first choice to dance with. A fellow firefighter, Chris Bruinink, was really going to rock this thing out of the park; but a blown Achilles has forced him out of the competition and now Lindsay is stuck with me last minute. Get well and back on the trucks soon Chris! I can’t say I’ve been dancing all my life, nor have I attended many (any) dance schools. But, I can often be caught on weekends doing my thing at weddings and cutting-a-rug at Joe Kool’s or McCabe’s! "
