Hey there, time traveller!

Winnipeg casinos are set to reopen next week to fully vaccinated patrons.
McPhillips Station and Club Regent casinos and the downtown Shark Club Gaming Centre will be open as of July 28, a spokesperson for Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries Corp. confirmed Tuesday.
All patrons will be required to show proof of COVID-19 immunization and matching valid identification. The establishments are expecting to accept out-of-province immunization records, as well as Manitoba immunization records with a QR code.
In a statement, MLL said vaccinations aren’t a condition of employment for any staff at Casinos of Winnipeg. Casino staff won’t have to show proof of vaccination to go to work, but the Crown corporation said it strongly recommends all employees get immunized.
Starting July 28, the Casinos of Winnipeg will be open from 10 a.m. to midnight, and Shark Club from noon to 10 p.m.
Casinos were one of the few types of businesses required to remain closed under Manitoba’s public health orders, even after its summer reopening plan began in June.
The establishments are permitted to open under the second phase of the three-part plan, which no longer mandates any business to be shut down, as long as pandemic restrictions are followed.
