What better way to say "I love you" this holiday season than with an WSFS membership?
Getting to vote on the Hugo Awards is the perfect gift for the fan in your life who is difficult to shop for!

On Spec has been the beating heart of Canadian science fiction for more than three decades.
The fact that the magazine has deep Edmonton roots fills us with a lot of civic pride, and is part of what inspired this Worldcon bid.

Wondering what our proposed Worlcon venue would look like if it were in the process of being destroyed by gigantic robots, check out the anime Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans.
The city is portrayed fairly accurately, though Edmonton has slightly fewer gigantic robots in real life.

Wondering how to pronounce the characters "ᐊᒥᐢᑿᒌᐚᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ" in our bid name?
The word is Amiskwacîwâskahikan, it means "Beaver Hills House," and it's the Plains Cree name for what is now called Edmonton.

Speaking of @canconsffh.bsky.social , last year's starter pack for panelists, vendors and volunteeers was popular, so I made a new one for this year. Please tell me if you're on programming or helping out with Can*Con this year and would like to be added, or if you'd like to be removed.
