I’d like to invite everyone to participate in the site selection vote for Canvention 32. There are two bids, for VCON 37 in Vancouver and When Words Collide 2 in Calgary. This vote will be held at the annual general meeting of the Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Society, to be held at SFContario 2 on Saturday at 9 AM in the Gardenview room (of the Ramada Plaza Hotel). Bid representatives will be at the meeting to answer questions. Please have a look at the bid presentations on the SFContario website and help choose the site of next year’s Canadian national science fiction convention.

You don’t have to wait until Friday for the fun to start. SFContario International Author Guest of Honour, John Scalzi, will give a public reading at the Merril Collection at 7 PM on Thursday night. On his blog, John says “I’ll likely read from Redshirts and then possibly a couple other things, and have a Q&A.”
All are welcome. More information here.

It was a close race, but the final vote was 20 votes for Kent Pollard and 18 votes for Danielle Stephens, with 2 votes for no preference. Congratulations to our new CUFF delegate Kent Pollard!
