"DisCon III has accepted the bid filing from Winnipeg, Canada, to host the
2023 Worldcon. CanSMOF is the organization that will run the convention should
the membership choose Winnipeg to host Worldcon."

Info on Winnipeg:

The last time I was in Winnipeg was in 1971 so my impressions are somewhat
out of date. And I am not 100 percent sure we actually left the train...

The other two bids are in Chengdu, China, and Memphis, USA.

If Winnipeg wins the bid, we might even go. (Finances
permitting.)

Winnipeg's a nice town of about 3/4 million. I lived there for 3 years
in the mid-1980s and have nothing but good memories of it except for
the appalling January weather.

I would be amazed however if Worldcon were ever to be held in January
- Winnipeg has delightful spring and summer weather and probably has
more trees than any other prairie North American city of its size. I
mentioned the January weather? Those trees are called "windbreaks"

It even has a French quarter if you're into that sort of thing.
