Hey there, time traveller!

Koch Fertilizer Canada is warning residents that travel along highways 10 and 110 in Brandon might be delayed on Thursday as its local plant prepares to receive a 175-foot-long vessel.
A media release sent to the Sun by the company said the vessel was manufactured in Edmonton and has been making its way to Brandon by highway.
Sometime after midnight on Thursday, the vessel and its transport team will arrive in Brandon heading north on Highway 10, turning right onto Highway 110 and then left onto 17th Street East.
Once the vessel crosses Richmond Avenue, traffic on Douglas Street will be prevented from turning onto 17th Street East until it has arrived at the plant.
It is expected to arrive at the plant by 6 a.m. The vessel will be accompanied by a police escort and a pilot team. Koch’s release states that the company arranging the transport, Mammoet Canada Western, has received all the appropriate permits for the work.
“Being a good neighbour and community partner is important to us,” plant manager Rodi Sveistrup said in the release.
“We focused on scheduling the transport with the least inconvenience to the community and appreciate everyone’s patience. We anticipate during the short duration that travel will be restricted along the route.”
