Vezina noted that this film will be used in three projects including a 30-second TV message about the auxiliary, a two-and-a-half minute TV message with more detail about what the auxiliary does and a third project in which segments of the scenario shot in Oakville will be added to a 20-minute-long documentary about the auxiliary.
