Thanks for the report, traveltip! I'm glad I don't seem to have missed anything earth-shattering at the reception. Looks like Vanier recipients are a dime a dozen at U of T! (That's where I'm headed in September.)

Congrats to you too -- and make sure you tell us all about the reception! Have fun!

I don't think I'm going either. St. John's to Ottawa is a pretty long trip for a 2-hour reception...no matter how cool it might be...

Wow, traveltip, just as I was reading your last post, I received an email from my SGS confirming that I received the Vanier. Holy crap. Congrats, guys! And good luck, anthro_student. Roller-coaster is definitely the word!

I received the same email, and I've driven myself crazy trying to decide what it means. I've emailed to ask if only the successful recipients were invited, though I know it's pretty unlikely that they'll tell me. It would be awfully cruel to encourage someone to fly to Ottawa (I'm in St. John's) only to send them home empty-handed!
