The Leo Awards are about celebrating excellence in the film and television industry of British Columbia. The first leg of the 2015 Leo Awards took place on June 6 at The Westin Bayshore Hotel, where local technical geniuses were celebrated.

Ellie Harvie (Mrs. Bubkes in Some Assembly Required) wasn’t able to attend due to an emergency family issue, but Veena Sood (Mrs. Rashid in Little Mosque on the Prairie) rose to the occasion and was kind enough to co-host with Paul McGillion (Dr. Carson Beckett in Stargate: Atlantis). After an exquisitely hilarious bit alluding to actors as assholes, the long awaited celebration of technical talent kicked off.

Eadweard was the winner of four Leos: Best Makeup, Best Costume Design, Best Hairstyling, and Best Production Design. Kathy Howatt, the make up designer for the film quipped, “If anybody is talking to Josh [Epstein, Eadweard’s co-writer and producer], can you tell him he owes me therapy for all the merkins I had to apply?”

Violent, the second winner in the motion picture category, received three awards for Best Cinematography, Best Picture Editing, and Best Visual Effects.

Dead Hearts, a short drama, took home three Leos for Best Production Design, Best Make-Up, and Best Costume Design.

In the category of Dramatic Series, The Flash’s episode “Going Rogue” took the Leo Award in Visual Effects.

Among the documentaries, Jordan Paterson and Norm Li won Leos for Cinematography and Picture Editing for Tricks On The Dead: The Story Of The Chinese Labour Corps In WWI.

It was a lovely night of many stars, peer appreciation, and heartfelt gratitude.

New immunotherapy treatment provides hope for aggressive cancer

News Peak Web -
By: Lucaiah Smith-Miodownik, News Writer Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy are often recognized as the three most common forms of cancer treatment. Sometimes, the latter two approaches become no longer effective when cancers become drug resistant, allowing the cells to further spread. At the University of Calgary, however, promising developments in immunotherapy intervention seek to provide alternative treatment when common therapies are not viable.  Cells continually divide to replenish dying cells, but certain gene mutations can create cancer cells, which divide and spread in an uncontrolled manner. The human body naturally defends itself from cancerous cells, though sometimes they can “hide from the immune system and avoid being destroyed,” according to the Canadian Cancer Society. Immunotherapy seeks to help strengthen the ability to recognize and fight...
