Sounds familiar... in preparation for our upcoming Vancouver trip, I had been sending US funds earlier this year into my TD Canada Trust account. I noticed the last round in February distinctly didn't convert into anywhere near as many loonies as prior transfers. At least most of the upcoming trip is now either prepaid or will be financed out of existing Canadian dollars.
In prior years, when I was helping out my family, the difference in the exchange rate helped cushion the pain on my end; now that the dollars are approaching par, future assistance will definitely pinch.
Good luck in getting Canadian sources of revenue in place asap!
