Edmonton (ᐊᒥᐢᑿᒌᐚᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ) is the fifth-largest city in Canada, and is the most northerly large metropolis in the country. The city is shaped by the mighty North Saskatchewan river, whose deep river valley provides verdant walking trails and scenic views.

Known for its diversity, its arts festivals, vibrant theatre scene, and progressive politics, Edmonton (ᐊᒥᐢᑿᒌᐚᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ) is cooler than you'd expect.

Edmonton (ᐊᒥᐢᑿᒌᐚᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ) enjoys mild winters in which the temperature often reaches a pleasant -30°F.

Don't worry. If the city is selected to host the 2030 Worldcon, the event would be in August, and it very rarely snows here in the summer. 

Although Edmonton (ᐊᒥᐢᑿᒌᐚᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ) and Montreal are in the same country, they are not very close to each other. The two cities are separated by almost 2,000 miles and are culturally distinct. (The 2026 Worldcon LAcon V in Los Angeles is geographically closer to us than the Montreal in 2027 Worldcon bid is.)

This bid was conceived by a completely separate group of fans and volunteers from the current Montreal bid for the 2027 Worldcon.
