The Leo Awards - British Columbia's Film and Television Awards

May 29, 2005

By Catherine Barr

 

Last week's star-studded events began Tuesday at Joe Fortes where invited guests partied on the roof at the restaurant's 20th year celebration. Wedneday night saw Absolute Spas' Wendy Cocchia raise money for needy kids at her annual Ladies Media Golf tournament. But the real red carpet wasn't rolled out until Saturday as the Leo Awards recognized the best in BC Film and Television at the Bayshore.

Vancouver's best events and celebrity functions are all archived here. Vancouver pubs, clubs, nightclubs, gala events and fundraisers are included. Thanks for viewing.

Due to server capacity, you will not be able to access or click through to the larger photographs. With over 250,000 unique visits each month, our site would quickly exceed the amount of memory needed.

If you would like to receive a copy of a photograph, then please send an email and enclose the details of the event, the date, the name, the photo number and the names of the people in the photograph. Also, for security reasons, I prefer not to email copies of pictures to anyone other than the people who are actually in the photo. Thanks.
