For the past 8 years I have been the Premium Account Executive for the Calgary Sports and Entertainment, the company that owns my four most loved sports teams who are the Flames, Hitmen, Stamps and Roughnecks.
I am very passionate in my role as Special Olympic Coach for the Calgary Floor Hockey Team. We won gold at the 2015 Alberta Provincial Winter Games and went on to win Bronze at the 2016 National Special Olympics in Corner Brooks, Newfoundland. In 2016 I was honored to be named Calgary Special Olympic Female Coach of the Year and Alberta Special Olympic Coach of the Year.
Growing up with 4 brothers, there were no dance classes, just sports! I have absolutely no dance moves other than my signature “Sexy Schreiner Shoulder Shrug”. I only like being the centre of attention when it suits me. The Sheraton Celebrity Dance Off will be a nerve-wracking challenge. I am doing it for the kids and they will be my motivation to work hard over the next 5 months!

The Sheraton Celebrity Dance Off (SCDO) is a product of a community that cares deeply enough to step up every year and raise money for worthy causes in our city. The event brings together the professional dance community, business and community leaders and many talented volunteers to stage an amazing, sold out event, build awareness for the groups their supporting, and raise funds that are put to work making a real difference.
The Celebrity Dancers who volunteer their time, energy and fund raising skills are truly special people. In this series, we’ll get to know each of the them. Please go online and support their fundraising efforts.
This year all proceeds will go to benefit the Central Alberta Sexual Assault Support Centre and the Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre. It’s about Red Deer coming together to Share the Magic!

Homes by 3Leafs showcases the first single family, shipping container home built in Calgary.
Homes by 3Leafs showcases the first single family, shipping container home built in Calgary. The Alberta based company is changing how homes are constructed by transforming recycled steel containers into high performance, energy efficient homes with net zero capabilities.
September 19, 2019, Calgary, AB Homes by 3Leafs gave media an exclusive inside look into the sleek, elegant modern two-storey home made from four recycled shipping containers. The home is nestled in the eco-friendly community, Echohaven, in northwest Calgary.
Som Sourachit, C.E.O. of Homes by 3Leafs describes this moment as pivotal. “Our high performance, energy efficient houses reduce waste in landfills by repurposing steel shipping containers into dream homes. The houses have net zero capabilities and are the new blueprint for how we should build while protecting our environment. “
It’s estimated there are millions of shipping containers piling up in landfills worldwide. The repurposed containers make the perfect envelope for a home, and reduce the heavy reliance on trees used for construction. The steel means shipping container homes are sturdier and will last for generations with fewer repairs than traditional stick builds over time.
The homeowner, Jaime Turner, added “This is a teaching moment for my young daughter. We wanted to build a legacy for her. This is our forever home and we know because it’s made of steel it will last for generations, and an added bonus is, we are being good to our environment!”
Homes by 3Leafs is proud to be leading the way in new home construction. Currently, 6 building projects are underway.
About Homes by 3Leafs
Homes by 3Leafs is a global company based in Edmonton and is comprised of a team of architects, construction experts, designers, and engineers with years of experience developing stunning homes. By using shipping containers to build, Homes by 3Leafs is committed to saving the environment.

The company leads the way with cutting edge technology and new innovations to help the world build beautiful sustainable homes to last hundreds of years.

She graduated with a degree in Painting in 2003. Erin spent many years traveling and living in various communities around Canada and abroad.
