This #worldcon bid and our friends at Explore Edmonton are committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion.

We believe that our city’s strength lies in its diversity. Edmonton is a place where different cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives come together to create a vibrant and inclusive community.

FYI: I have stood down as bid co-chair due to the fact my health sucks and I think the bid deserves better.

I will be staying on as an active committee member, am very proud of how far we’ve come, and am very confident in Vix and Jo Van’s leadership for the rest of the journey.

I suspect Brisbane’s #worldcon would get more international visitors than any US location, so it’s a good time to put this forward. Also Australia’s last worldcon was in 2010.

If u can’t travel to #Worldcon this is a great chance to attend online. Great author talks, interesting panels, lots of nerds. #fandom #sf

Why Edmonton for #Worldcon?

Edmonton is as welcoming, safe, and diverse as it is dramatic and exciting. There are plenty of things to do, from top-notch restaurants to rugged wilderness and urban oddities.
