Events The 2026 Academic Conference on Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy will be held Saturday and Sunday, May 30-31, 2026, at  York University. Please check here in the coming months for further information on our Keynote Address Speakers and the tentative program. McFarland published the proceedings of selected papers from the 2005 to 2013 conferences as The Canadian Fantastic in Focus: New Perspectives; to purchase a copy, visit their website here . Also, we still have copies of the proceedings of the 2003 conference, and the book will be on sale at the conference; please visit our Publications page for information. The collection features Margaret Atwood's keynote address plus the papers presented at the conference.  All proceeds from the sales go to support the conference, ensuring we can continue to present interesting speakers--both writers and scholars--and keep our registration fees as low as possible. Registration: TBA We do not have accommodation arrangements; however, there is a hotel on campus at the Executive Learning Centre in the Schulich School of Business (click here for their website), and residences like the Pond Road Residence are available for summer bookings. York University is easily accessible from downtown on the University subway line, with a stop on campus. The Montecassino Hotel is near the Downsview Park subway station, two stops south of the York University stop. Check websites like booking.com and expedia.ca for deals.
