The 2026 Academic Conference on Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy will be held Saturday and Sunday, May 30-31, 2026, at York University. Our Author Keynote Address Speaker is Premee Mohamed, and our Scholar Keynote Address Speaker is Robert Knowlton. Please check here in the coming months for further information on registration and the tentative program. Thanks to generous grants from the Department of English and the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies, we will be able to keep our registration fees easily affordable for those who do not have funding. 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. Registration:
