What's the latest on the 2014 Nationals? Has a host/location been determined?

No one put a bid in for it. Joanne offered to host it again.

What happened to Saskatchewan?
Does that mean the West is free to bid on 2015?

I would love to see it in Saskatchewan again, Moose Jaw was amazing. That was easily the best nat's i have been to for Venue, hotel, caliber of pullers, location(city in general), after party and the organization of the event was perfect, flawless.

To be honest, I am worried about the sponsorship requirements to put on a nationals when the revenue from entry fees is roughly $8000, but the historical cost is >$20,000. Or else the entry fee needs to be increased to $100-$120/arm, so we can at least reduce the stress on the organizer. This is a pay-to-play setup.

I also see the benefit to having nationals in the same place every year, so sponsors can get on board for a regular basis. Every year organizers must start from scratch when it moves around all the time.
Since most of the population is out East - I wouldn't mind if it was in Ottawa every year, or even if we said it is in Winnipeg every year, since that would be meeting in the middle.
