Hey there, time traveller!

Waverley West is growing much faster than any other ward in the city, according to new municipal population estimates.
Winnipeg’s largest ward added about 11,171 people, to reach 56,085 residents, between 2016 and 2020, a new report found.
While all of the city’s 15 wards grew by at least a few hundred residents over the four-year period, the second-largest population jump was much lower, with 5,895 residents gained in Transcona.
St. Vital is believed to have the second-largest total population, with 54,590; Elmwood-East Kildonan had the fewest number of residents (46,813).
The city estimates flesh out Canadian census data, which is only updated every five years, by also considering the population believed to be missed by the census and the number of local building permits.
The report suggests the data will help guide municipal decisions to better serve the population in each ward and identify where investments may be most needed.
