Linda Gordon represented the Film Society at the Flower & Garden Show in 2001 at Royal Roads. Why? Linda replies: "Well, Sooke has so many lovely gardens and people wishing to have their gardens as locations for the film industry. Also, it was an excellent opportunity to get the word out about the Film Festival"
