• I can't believe the CBA info is out of date. I think the problem for Americans entering Canada is in the crossing going home. The US has very different requirements, even for their citizens.

    • Children under 16 do not require passports, HOWEVER, you may need notorized (spelling) documentation ( consent form basically) from one spouse if both of you are not coming witht the children. I have NEVER been asked and always travel with just me & dd, but it says that have the right to ask. (NT) -- ,, Thu, July 30, 04:13:35pm

• Working in the travel industry. They need passports. I have heard from our customers that they were turned back because they did not have proper docurmentation. On a side note even with all proper documentation, you can still be refused entry into the country. (NT) -- ta, Thu, July 30, 07:34:37pm
  • If you are working in the travel industry, I am surprized that you have such misinformation. Children under 16 will not be turned away without a passport. Maybe the adults in the car didnt have theirs. The info from someone who works at the border is adults-passports, under 16-birth certif. Yes, you can be asked for a notorized letter from the other parent. Probably only happens once in a while, but better safe than sorry. (NT) -- Please check your facts, Thu, July 30, 07:54:08pm
    • I do not have misinformation. I plainly said, best advice is to have a passport. I have had phone calls from families that were denied access into the country. (NT) -- btw, Thu, July 30, 08:12:49pm

        • Not the travel agent, but the problem is, whether you're allowed in or not is completely at the discretion of the boarder guard. I've heard really upsetting stories where people were 'pulled' or refused even when they had the proper papers. A passport is no guarantee but it is the best thing to have.

• I work in the passport office, kids under 16 do not need a passport but it would be wise to get one done for them at a later date, it is easier to cross if everyone has passports. (NT) -- Hope this helps, Fri, July 31, 07:59:24am

  • My experience is it depends on the day and who is in the booth. I have "detained" going into CAN with my kids (13 and 17) because, even though I had their passports AND their original stamped birth certificates, I did not have a note from my husband saying I could take them across the border!!

        • The hotel has never demanded a deposit before. I think they're just being greedy. Maybe they've become a bit complacent and simply expect that we'll hold our event there every year.

• Hopefully the feis organizers realize they have to award the u14 results before they start the belt competition -- so that 1st place in u14 can participate in the belt (if they haven't already qualified). (NT) -- I 'm sure they know this, at least hope so!, Wed, July 29, 07:06:22pm
  • I wasnt trying to be snarky-I just remember a belt that we went to where they had the groups that would participate dance first off, on two diff stages, so they would have plenty of time prior. The senior belt was like this too. I actually forgot that they would have to tabulate the U14's because of the winner that day. And really, the only kids who probably wouldnt dance in their own comp is a dancer that truely thinks they have a chance to win the belt comp. (NT) -- Thanks, OP, Wed, July 29, 07:41:09pm
    • in my experience, more often than not, the winner of the championship has also competed in the regular competition (NT) -- sr mom, Thu, July 30, 08:53:42am
    • That is a really rude comment. Each dancer knows what stamina have and what they want to focus on. Most dancers also do what they are told by their teacher. (NT) -- individual, Thu, July 30, 12:48:02pm
      • Nothing rude about it. It is true. The belt has ONE winner. Most of the dancers know they will not be the top dog. C,mon folks be real. It is a great honor to dance in a belt, the best of the best, but everyone knows the two or three who will be at the very top. Sorry, she was just stating (NT) -- a fact., Thu, July 30, 05:30:14pm
  • Of course they do. (NT) -- It's all good., Wed, July 29, 11:30:26pm

• Re: Windsor Feis (NT) -- I hope so...last year they did oldest to youngest...., Mon, July 27, 04:17:29pm
  • Re: No they did not. They had to move competition around because of a judging conflict that wasn't declared prior to the feis. The instructor's hadn't done the workshop but had forwarded videos of steps and that consituted a conflict by AC standards so they were left shuffling the entire day which made it horrible for most. That won't happen this year. (NT) -- No conflicts for workshops with judges, Mon, July 27, 04:36:13pm

      • Re: It didn't matter whether they were dancing the steps or not. It went to An COimisiun and the adjudicators couldn't judge those dancers. End of Story.

Volunteers are just that, and if they were less than courteous, it's probably because they were tired and worn out from dealing with less than courteous complaints from feis attendees. The Windsor feis has been running for years without issue; one mishap shouldn't be enough to condemn it in perpetuity. (NT) -- But then again, to each their own., Tue, July 28, 12:30:15pm

If on the other hand, you expect a win, high placement - return for investment - don't go. (NT) -- none, Sat, July 25, 12:43:12am

    • That would depend on the individual TC - ours would want you to go, but wouldn't pressure (NT) -- mom, Sat, July 25, 08:33:45am
    • Lots of young ones peak early and then the rest catch up. It's harder to qualify each year. Go the first time for sure, you may never get another chance as nothing is a guarantee. After that, take it year by year and financial situations. (NT) -- ., Sat, July 25, 11:25:49am

  • Watch out? What's going to happen !!?? (NT) -- :-), Sat, July 18, 01:51:53pm
  • Watch out? there were only 7 dancers...all combined ages. Good job all the same :) alot of youger age group dancers fare well against older groups...look at L.G. for instance :) (NT) -- ., Sat, July 18, 01:56:08pm
    • Re: Who is LG and what does she/he have to do with congratulating Isabella for winning un 14 although she is only Un 10. (NT) -- Congrats to Isabella, Sat, July 18, 02:39:52pm
      • L.G. is only 10 too...and won the All Irelands, 2nd at NAN's, he has.beat many older groups (from other Feis's, obviouisly not AI)...has nothing to do with I.S. and the great job she did, just poster made a point about her being younger than her competitors...L.G. (HE) is from BFOC...look out ECR, Worlds and NANS!!! (NT) -- ., Sat, July 18, 05:04:34pm
        • Re: Wow! A bit obsessed are you? Way to hijack a message about an innocent under 10's results and her congrats message from an enthusiastic friend. (NT) -- Bored are we?, Sat, July 18, 06:14:55pm
          • Nope, not bored at all...but maybe in the future, just give congrats instead of making it like this is the first time it's ever happened...with a whole 7 dancers...to "boot"...nothing against the 10 yr. old dancer...just about the adults post. (NT) -- really..."watch out", Sat, July 18, 07:33:53pm
            • Re: And that's what the OP did. If she had only posted IS had won un 14, then everyone would have asked why she didn't dance un 10. The explanation of combining un 10, 12, 14 was very reasonable. (NT) -- Thank you very much, Sun, July 19, 08:56:17am
  • Why would "all" ECR dancers have to "watch out"?? (NT) -- you are very weird - are you her mother? wouldn't surprise me a bit?, Wed, July 22, 04:37:09pm

    • The post was weird from the start. Watch out? (NT) -- For what?, Sat, July 18, 06:21:00pm
      • Re: I think it was simply a shout out to her. She has won her last three feises and seems to be doing very well. Just a nice kid getting a nice encouragements. (NT) -- Don't take it too seriously, Sun, July 19, 02:47:40pm

• Re: GREAT BRITAINS 2009 -- would like to know more, Tue, July 21, 10:52:06pm
  • Re: GREAT BRITAINS 2009...Its an Overseas Major but not the secondary qualifier for UK dancers this year (BN's this week are). It doesn't qualify you for anything but its a very distinguished event and is held in a family resort on the south coast of England. Excellent Standard of competition. Enjoyable three days. Many in ECR do it but its really for OC dancers. (NT) -- Only OC and PC's with wins from our school goes, Wed, July 22, 09:03:53am
