Legendary actor William Shatner is beaming into Winnipeg this week for two different events.

Today, the 80-year-old Montreal native — known to Star Trek fans across the universe as Capt. James T. Kirk — will bring his one-man show, How Time Flies: An Evening with William Shatner, to the Centennial Concert Hall.

Then he returns to the city on Sunday for an appearance at the C4 Central Canada Comic Con at the Winnipeg Convention Centre.

Shatner, who has just released a book (Shatner Rules), a double music album (Seeking Major Tom) and DVD documentary (The Captains) met with the media at the Fort Garry Hotel on Monday to talk about his upcoming shows and why he believes Star Trek still makes people dress up as their favourite characters and misquote lines.

Two boys are presumed drowned in Nutimik Lake in the Whiteshell.

RCMP and community search-and-rescue teams are still trying to locate the children, aged 10 and 13, who got caught in fast-moving rapids in Nutimik Lake near Sturgeon Falls Trail in Whiteshell Provincial Park on Saturday.

Lac du Bonnet RCMP received the report of possible drowning at 12:40 p.m. July 18. Police immediately went to the scene, along with local fire personnel and emergency responders, but didn't find the boys despite extensive patrols on the water and on the shoreline, police stated in a news release Sunday.

Manitoba RCMP Underwater Recovery Team  and the Hutterian Emergency Aquatic Response Team were deployed to assist in the search. Drones were also used.
