Hey there, time traveller!

A group of rural students will wear Halloween costumes tonight that hundreds of Manitobans have to endure in every day: that of someone living on the streets.
Fifty students from L’ École/Collège Régional Gabrielle-Roy will spend the night eating and sleeping on the grounds of the Îles des Chênes school, warding off the October chill as best they can to show solidarity for homeless people in Manitoba.
“It’s preparing them to be young, strong, responsible adults and not just dumpers of blame on the rest of society,” school adviser Monique Guenette said in a statement.
On Monday, the students will cap off their experiment by heading to Winnipeg’s Siloam Mission, where they will donate warm clothing to the Exchange District shelter.
The school plans to turn the experience into an annual event for all graduating students.
