Prompt # 47 - Awards
When I was nine, I won a free trip to summer camp at Clear Lake based on my Sunday School by mail submissions.
In Grade Eleven I was chosen to be a Centennial Traveller, winning a free trip to Montreal where I stayed with a French-Canadian family in Longueuil for two weeks. We travelled as a group from Winnipeg, visiting Parliament in Ottawa and Quebec City as well.
My M.A. Thesis The Indian, the 'Other,' In the Canadian Quest for Identity: Four Prairie Novels of the 1970s won an Honourable Mention for best thesis of the year. It is available online. http://ecommons.uwinnipeg.ca/handle/10680/31
"Kettle Valley," an excerpt I submitted to a Writer's Digest contest, Spiritual Memoir, won First Prize with an award of $750 US. That was a good one.
