Hey there, time traveller!

A developer wants to dump 500,000 cubic metres of inert lime at the Brady Road landfill.
Hopewell Developments, which is behind the Bishop Grandin Crossing subdivision on the former Sugar Beet property, told the property and development committee Tuesday that it can’t develop the site because there is too much inert lime scattered across the property.
Company representative said the lime is silt-like and can’t be built on. Removing the lime is required under the environmental remediation of the property.
The new subdivision will see about 1,300 residential units constructed on the former Sugar Beet factory site, north of Bishop Grandin Boulevard between Pembina Highway and Waverley Street.
In addition to residential development, the project will have a mix of commercial uses including restaurants, office space and hotels.
The subdivision was approved by council in May.
The company proposed constructing a massive berm at the landfill using the inert lime.
An administrative report states that using the lime material for a landscaping berm would free up clay from the site which will be used as top cover as the landfill is developed.
The committee endorsed the proposal, with Hopewell covering all costs.
The proposal still needs to be approved by city council.
