Hey there, time traveller!

WINNIPEG — Construction will get underway Wednesday on the new $36-million Polo North retail/office complex that will rise on the former Winnipeg Arena site at Polo Park.
The official groundbreaking ceremony for the project was to be held this afternoon at the site, which is located on Maroons Road just north of the Polo Park Shopping Centre.
Winnipeg’s Shindico Realty Inc. and Cadillac Fairview Corporation Limited, which owns the site as well as the Polo Park Shopping Centre, are the developers.
As previously reported, Western Financial Group will be the anchor tenant in the three-storey, 210,000-square-foot complex. The Alberta-based financial services firm has leased the second and third floors, while the main floor will be developed as retail space.
Western Financial plans to consolidate its four Winnipeg offices at the location, which will serve as its new regional office. Although the building is scheduled to be completed by the fall of next year, Western Financial isn’t expected to move into its space until the spring of 2013.
