ᐊᒥᐢᑿᒌᐚᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ (Edmonton) In 2030
@edmontonin2030.bsky.social
We want to invite the SFF fandom world to ᐊᒥᐢᑿᒌᐚᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ (Amiskwacîwâskahikan), also known as Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, in 2030… www.edmontonin2030.org
Got an important question that I'm sure @princejvstin.com will want to hear your answers on. When you look at guide.lacon.org and www.lacon.org/events-overv... what do you want to see photos of? Not just the obvious things (Masquerade, Hugos, etc.) Specific panels? Other events? Exhibits?
We conducted more than two dozen focus groups, and the consultants ended up quite adamant that there was a significant overlap between the shower-curtain demographic and our target audience.

On this day in 1867, the British North America Act went into effect, uniting the Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia & New Brunswick into a single country that we now call "Canada." To commemorate that day, the new settler country began celebrating Canada Day every July 1. Happy Canada Day.

Now you have me wondering about Canadian SF novels that take place in Edmonton. I can think of three off the top of my head: A Paradigm of Earth by Candas Jane Dorsey (mentioned in another response), The Night Watch by Sean Stewart and my own Napier's Bones. But surely there must be more.

We are bidding to host the World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon) in 2030. Looking forward to welcoming the science fiction fandom world to Amiskwacîwâskahikan (Edmonton).

A focus of our bid to host WorldCon in 2030 is honouring the Indigenous people who lived on this land before it was colonized, but there are Indigenous people across the globe. Reply with your favourite authors of any Indigenous heritage here:
It’s also Pride Month! Some of the Indigenous authors we’ve shared this month are part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, but here are a few more works we hope you’ll check out:
Before North America was colonized, it was known as Turtle Island. The border between Canada and the USA splits a variety of traditional Indigenous territories arbitrarily. We can’t celebrate Indigenous writers who live on the Canada side without mentioning a few favourites from south of the border:
It’s Indigenous History Month! Here’s a list of some of our favourites speculative fiction writers from the so-called “Canada” portion of Turtle Island:
We're excited to show off our convention centre! We're always surprised how much room there is!

Happy Pride everyone! Edmonton is working hard on being a truly safe and inclusive place for 2SLGBTQ+ people year round, but we put it on display every June for Pride Month.
Nuremberg is a world-class city that would be an absolutely amazing location for a World Science Fiction convention. We seriously hope that this team will bid for a future year (*other than 2030!)
