Vulcan, Alberta, Canada is looking to rebrand itself in hopes of keeping the next generation from leaving the small prairie town.<\/p>\n

That rebranding will include building on Vulcan’s Star Trek<\/em> theme.<\/p>\n

“[Vulcan is] stagnant, hate to say that, like every other small Prairie town, not moving ahead,” said Town Councillor Judy Sanderson<\/strong>. “[It] needs something to kick forward.”<\/p>\n

That something is technology, with the goal to make Vulcan “the most technologically-advanced rural town in Canada.” “Star Trek<\/em> is what brings the people here \u2014 technology will hopefully be what brings people to stay,” said Leslie Warren<\/strong> of the Vulcan Business Development Society.<\/p>\n

Vulcan plans on revitalizing its tourist center and downtown, as well as building a state-of-the-art convention center.<\/p>\n

“We are appreciative to [the] Star Trek<\/em> brand and what it’s done,” said Sandra Locken<\/strong>, a local business owner. “Move it forward, create industry and business keep our young people in town engaged.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
