Former premier Bill Vander Zalm was brought down much in part by Leung's accusations against him stemming from the Fantasy Garden scandal.
Faye Leung, a trailblazing woman so involved in B.C.'s politics and culture that one of her trademark hats was once displayed in a provincial museum, has died at age 92.“Faye’s energetic, unrelenting personality, laced with intricately detailed stories, made her a force of nature that left a lasting impression on all who met her,” the post said.
The case sparked an investigation by the conflict-of-interest commissioner, the late Ted Hughes, then a former B.C. deputy attorney general. She was born in Victoria and raised in the Chinatowns of Victoria and Vancouver, later becoming a fierce advocate for equality. She was voted Vancouver’s “Man of the Month” when women’s liberation was just a burgeoning idea, and later nationally recognized as a B.C. "Entrepreneur of the Year" nominee.
