Hey there, time traveller!

Winnipeg’s downtown skywalk is another step closer to being re-opened.
The City of Winnipeg’s contractor is working to repair the skywalk, which runs from Delta Winnipeg Hotel to the RBC Winnipeg Convention Centre. The path has been closed since April 9, when concerns arose about the connection to the Convention Centre.
The city released a statement this morning advising of the installation of a temporary support system, called shoring installation. When that is complete, the final design and construction of permanent repair will get started, the statement read.
During the construction, a section of the west curb lane of Carlton Street between St. Mary Avenue and York Avenue will be closed from 7 a.m. on Monday, July 20 to 5 p.m. on Friday, August 7.
The three remaining lanes and bike lane on Carlton Street will stay open, and motorists are advised to plan extra travel time or use alternative routes in the area.
