Hey there, time traveller!

Winnipeg police renewed a public appeal early Saturday for missing woman Christine Wood, the former university student who vanished nearly a month ago.
Police made their latest appeal amid media reports of fundraising efforts to help the family with travel funds to continue their search in Winnipeg.
The family is from the remote, fly-in community of Oxford House First Nation.
“The Winnipeg Police Service continues to request the public’s assistance in locating 21-year-old Christine Wood,” stated a police bulletin Saturday.
The former University of Winnipeg student was last seen the evening of Aug. 19 in St. James. Her parents told media shortly after her disappearance that it is extremely unusual for her to be out of contact with them for so long.
Since that time, a number of potential sightings have been reported to investigators, police said in the appeal Saturday.
Christine has possibly been observed in the Osborne Village area, downtown near Portage Place, the North End and east of Polo Park in St. James, police said.
Christine was staying at a hotel near Sargent Avenue and Berry Street with her parents while accompanying a family member to a medical appointment in Winnipeg on the night she went missing. She told her parents she was going out for the evening and never returned. She hasn’t been in touch with family or friends since.
Her parents have described their daughter as having dark brown hair but the photo police released twice in the last week show her hair may possibly be dyed red.
She is 5′ 6″, indigenous with shoulder length hair. She was last seen wearing a green top with a red striped Adidas jacket over top, denim shorts and carrying a white purse.
A fundraiser in Thompson Friday raised over $5,000 for travel expenses while Christine’s family continue the search in Winnipeg, according to media reports.
Police said their investigation is ongoing and anyone with information should call the Winnipeg Police Service missing persons unit at 204-986-6250.
In addition to police, the Bear Clan volunteer safety patrol has made Christine the focus of ongoing searches.
