Just received a rejection letter from the Canada Council for my grant proposal to work on The Code Breakers Club. I used the same proposal for 3 different grant agencies with varying results. Canada Council said no. ACDI (Canada Council/Alberta Foundation for the Arts) said it conflicted with my AFA grant application, which turned out to be a yes! Proof again that the same project can trigger varying opinions. Now I just have to figure out how to get to the Aran Islands and the Great Wall of China for cheap. Air Miles?
Congratulations! Air Canada has been having lots of seat sales lately... but check on the flight-comparison sites like Kayak.
