Hey there, time traveller!

Police are looking for answers in the death of a 51-year-old man found behind an inner-city building this week.
John George Sumner was rushed to hospital just after midnight Tuesday after he was discovered, unresponsive, behind the Freight House, located in the 200 block of Isabel Street, Const. Jason Michalyshen said.
Sumner died a short time later. The Freight House is a community-services hub.
“We want anyone in the community who knew Mr. Sumner to give us a call, if they know anything about his travels leading up to us coming into contact with him,” Michalyshen said. “Where he went, who he had contact with, those are all important bits of information for investigators.”
Police expect autopsy results within the next day or two but toxicology results could take time, possibly months.
In the meantime, police can’t identify the cause of death and they’re not ruling out anything, Michalyshen said.
Sumner lived close to where he was found, Michalyshen said.
Anyone with information is asked to call 204-986-6508.
