Hey there, time traveller!

Prairie Mountain Health says more than 20 families displaced by the Massey Manor fire last weekend are in need of housing.
In a news release, the health authority said 23 families and one individual will have no place to go on June 1, with all of the tenants being low-income, working, or on employment and income assistance.
PMH said ideally they are looking for a one-bedroom unit, 19 two-bedroom units and four three-bedroom units.
All will have landlord references and some have small pets, such as cats and hamsters.
It is unclear if the residents are staying in hotels and will be kicked out of their rooms at the end of the month.
PMH deferred questions to the Canadian Mental Health Association, who in turn deferred to a spokesperson from Manitoba Housing. The spokesperson could not be reached before press time.
Anyone with available units is asked to contact Wynn Collier or Chris Reid from 7th Street Health Access Centre at 204-578-4826, wcollier@pmh-mb.ca or creid1@pmh-mb.ca, or Stephanie Lockerby-Fehr from CMHA at 204-726-8865 or Stephanie.cmha@gmail.com.
