Kicking off today and running through Sunday, August 28th FanExpo Canada takes place at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in Toronto, Ontario.

Celebrating its 17th year, the annual gathering will be playing host to several Star Trek personalities.

William Shatner will host a special screening of his documentary The Captains on Sunday August 28th. He will also be signing autographs and will be available for photo ops that day.

Also appearing as guests throughout the weekend will be Malcolm McDowell (Dr. Tolian Soran from Star Trek: Generations), Nichelle Nichols (Uhura from TOS), Marina Sirtis (TNG’s Dianna Troi) and Ethan Phillips (Neelix from Star Trek: Voyager).

Other non-Trek guests include Eliza Dushku, Hayden Panettiere, Katee Sackhoff, Kevin Sorbo and more.

While advance tickets are sold out, single-day passes will be available at the box office for same-day purchase.

A full schedule of events and guest list can be found on Fan Expo Canada’s website.
