The Secret Scavenger Squad No supplies? No problem! When a classmate can't afford invention fair materials, a secret scavenger squad forms. Can they gather what's needed in time and prove big dreams are for everyone?

Tyler, Liam, and Chloe band together as the "Resource Rangers," a secret team dedicated to finding what's needed to help a friend succeed. Their mission: fairness for all! #books #ontarioartscouncil

#ontarioartscouncil also helped me hire the amazing Brooklynn Whidden (brooklynnwhidden.wordpress.com) on musical composition, and Mary Verhoeven @sobcomix.bsky.social collaborating on backgrounds.

Back in 2022 I was incredibly honoured to receive funding through the #ontarioartscouncil to produce this creepy little game about how terrifying it can be to rent in Toronto. #ontario #ArtsAddValue

OK, Ontario arts people (and the people who love them):
I just got off the phone with a grant officer at the #OntarioArtsCouncil, who told me that the overall budget at the OAC is the same amount as it was in 2009.
(Yes: it has NOT budged, even with the inflation we've had over the past few years.)

Congrats, @lynnhutchinsonlee.bsky.social on your grant for #novel "Nightshade"! The book sounds intriguing. I look forward to reading it. #OntarioArtsCouncil #writinggrant

But OMG. I *just* landed a big literary creation grant from the Ontario Arts Council worth lots more. I'm playing with the big leaguers now.

I'm feeling shook. Whoa.
