Hey there, time traveller!

A memorial library in commemoration of Aaron Jardine was officially opened at the Brandon Community Welcome Clubhouse on Friday.
A quiet and eloquent room with new furniture donated from Leon’s fills the room.
A large bookshelf on one wall houses hundreds of books with a photo of Jardine above.
Jardine, 31, was found dead in a second-floor suite at the housing co-op for the disabled.
Three men have been charged with manslaughter in his death.
“We wanted to do something to honour him because he lived here for four years,” Clubhouse manager Sheryl Hayne-Cavers said.
Rick and Karen Chrest held the ribbon as Jardine’s mother, Barb, cut it.
Outside, his father, Dan, spoke about his son, who suffered from mental illness, as a tree was planted in his name in the front yard.
