As always, the cast of Sanctuary made a splash as autograph hounds, fans, and admirers online wanted every chance to see the group – especially the amazing Amanda Tapping. Tapping stopped to sign autographs, chat with passersby, and made a quick comment to Susan Gittins and I about how wonderful her online following is.

Both Wednesday and Saturday were great nights for British Columbia’s entertainment industry. You can view the full list of winners online and the rest of my photos on Flickr. Feel free to add the names of some of the beautiful people I captured in these photos and if you would like to use any of these images please ask first. Susan Gittins also has photos up on her Flickr.

You can still enter to win a Leo Awards presenter gift bag until Monday morning.
