FRMAP surplus redistribution

Livres Canada Books will redistribute a $54,000 surplus in its FRMAP budget on a prorated basis to 2010/11 FRMAP recipients. The surplus is due in part to an unusually low number of claims for the 2010 London Book Fair, which many publishers were unable to attend due to volcanic eruptions in Iceland and subsequent disruptions to air travel across Europe. The 2010/11 budget for travel claims under FRMAP was $750,000, of which $695,609.70 has already been paid out. Livres Canada Books expects to begin redistributing the surplus funds in the coming weeks.
