I received the following bid for the 2024 Canadian Seniors Championship from the Calgary Chess Club's president Zeeshan Munir. It is an only bid, and the Calgary chess community has a very good track record especially recently with many high profile events. We will likely confer with them and work out some details but unless there is some developments, this looks like the venue for the Seniors this year. The letter:

Hi Vlad,

I hope you are doing well. Calgary Chess Club would like to host this year's Canadian Seniors Championship 2024 ( Open and over 65) and Canadian women. We at our club can easily accommodate up to 50 participants.

The proposed dates are August 3^rd, 2024 to August 5^th. ( 3-day 6 games Swiss tournament).

Based on our assumption of approximately 30 participants with $100 as an entry fee CCC would be committing to the prize fund to the minimum of $2000 for all three sections as per the following.

	Over50	Over 65	Closed Women
1st	500	300	400	1200
2nd	250	200	250	700
3rd	100			100
	850	500	650

CCC will be collecting an entry fee of $100 as an early bird and $120 as a regular Fee.

CCC will provide light snacks and drinks to the participants.


Please let us know if you have questions or need any further information.
