According to Metro News Calgary, Star Trek star Leonard Nimoy will finally take the voyage home and land in the southern Alberta town of Vulcan on April 23. Here are excerpts of the article.
"This is the culmination of how many years of dreaming and aspirations for the community," said Vulcan's tourism co-ordinator, Dayna Dickens.
"It's a bit surreal."
Dickens said along with a parade in Nimoy's honour, the sci-fi star will unveil a bronze bust of himself for the town's centre and his handprint will be cast in the famous "live long and prosper" pose. Nimoy will also be lending the town select personal memorabilia from his time as a Star Trek character.
"It's the end of a really exciting journey and hopefully the beginning of a new one," said Dickens.
