Hey there, time traveller!

Some of the operations disrupted by an explosion at the City of Brandon’s Civic Services Complex have been temporarily relocated to another building, according to a media release issued Monday.
While the investigation into the cause of the damage is still underway, the release states some repair work has commenced and the building cannot be used while that work is ongoing.
In a statement sent by email, director of public works Pam Richardson said a contractor is currently working on stabilizing the roof and walls of the complex and carrying out weatherproofing ahead of inclement weather forecast for later this week.
During repairs, some departments have relocated to 382 Park Ave. East. Residents with business at the location can visit from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday.
Those services include the city’s root claim program, which reimburses labour and equipment costs related to fixing sewers blocked by tree roots, the public works team and more.
Public works can still be reached by calling 204-729-2285 or by visiting brandon.ca/report-an-issue.
Some departments working out of other municipal facilities include Brandon Transit and Fleet Services.
Fleet services is currently closed to drop-in visits from salespeople, but appointment-only visits are available in the next six to eight weeks by calling 204-571-2578.
“While there has been disruption to the Civic Services Complex building, the city has maintained full operation of all its core operation services,” general manager of operations Patrick Pulak said in the release.
“I want to thank our team of departments, city staff, and residents who have reached out over the last few weeks,” Pulak said. “Together we have worked to ensure city operations continued in a seamless manner through this transition.”
