[6] Now known as the "Official Star Trek Capital of Canada", Vulcan has a tourism building made to look like a landed space station, a statue of the original series Enterprise, and other Star Trek themed attractions.

Originally, all the streets of Vulcan were named after gods and goddesses of the classical world such as Juno, Mars, and Jupiter.

[citation needed] Due to the changing economics of the agricultural industry, the original elevators were taken down one by one.

[citation needed] A British Commonwealth Air Training Plan air force base, RCAF Station Vulcan, was located 5.7 nautical miles (10.6 km; 6.6 mi) southwest[12] of the town during the Second World War.

[citation needed] In 2015 the town council voted to form Heritage Advisory Board Committee to manage the historical sites in Vulcan County.

[16][17] In the Star Trek television and feature film series it is the name of the homeworld of Mr. Spock and his fellow Vulcans.

Capitalizing on this coincidence, the town has built a Star Trek–themed tourist station (the Vulcan Tourism & Trek Station), which provides tourist information, displays an extensive donated collection of Star Trek memorabilia.

It is a unique convention in that celebrity guests & Trekkies get to know each other during the Meet & Greet, Q&As and a banquet and dance.
