Captain Kirk will be beaming into Calgary.

William Shatner has been scheduled to headline the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo in the summer.

Nimoy, who played Spock attended the comic expo this past year and even made a special trip to Vulcan.

Shatner will be here for one day only, so fans should mark Saturday, June 18 on their calendars.

The expo takes place at the BMO Centre from June 17th to the 19th.
