Northern FanCon wrapped up another busy year Sunday at the CN Centre.
Over its three days, fans of science fiction, fantasy, comic books, anime, manga, toys and more headed to the convention to check out the various vendors, meet celebrity guests and spend time with like-minded fellow aficionados.
Highlights included Q&A sessions with actor Bill Pullman (Spaceballs, Independence Day) and actor-comedian Dave Foley (Kids in the Hall), as well as autograph sesssions with actors, comic book creators, podcasters and more. A diverse series of workshops and special presentations were held over the course of its three days.
The 501st Legion, a group of Star Wars fans who show up en masse to conventions in stormtrooper armour, continued their charitable outreach at the convention. After visiting the pediatric ward at the University of Northern British Columbia Hospital on Friday, they posed for photos at the convention for a fee, with proceeds going to the Prince George Hospice Palliative Care Society.
