Vulcan, Alberta: Home of Starship Development?

[dewline]

Apparently, there are people looking to make this happen for real.

Given the last few decades of Petro-Dependency, Alberta getting into this game at whatever speed they can would be a Very Good Thing to my mind. However, I can't spare a lot of cash myself right now. I do, however, have this nice little blogging platform with which to spread the word to (a) those who can investigate the project further and - once confirmed that this is a Real Thing in Progress - to (b) those have more cash than I to spend who share my thinking can do something helpful about it.

If this is not a Real Thing in Progress (and there's a chance that someone's indeed out on an internet lark), I'd like to be able to say to my nieces and nephews and their kids and grandkids that I helped in some small way to make it real.

As far as group (a) goes, I know several people reading this weblog are journalists and reporters of some experience and skill. I think I can rely upon you to investigate the matter. Once that's squared away, we can move to group (b).

Vulcan is a nice little town, with EVERYONE a total Star Trek fan (the hardware store's street address is "359", so they called it "Wolf 359" and put Borg in the front window). If any town can do it, they can.

I think I remember seeing a photo of that hardware storefront.

Should be entertaining to see what happens with this initiative as it moves along...
