Russia lost its hosting rights due to its invasion of Ukraine.
Tourism Saskatoon and Tourism Regina are collaborating with SaskTel Centre, The REAL Centre, Saskatoon Destination Marketing Hotels, and the Regina Hotel Association for the submission to host the event.
They say hosting it could mean a $50 million jolt to the province's economy.
Councils in both cities will hold special meetings at 8:30 a.m. on Friday to consider the proposal.
