Hey there, time traveller!

Three locally produced books have won 2010 Manitoba Historical Society’s Margaret McWilliams Awards.
Winnipeg’s Great War: A City Comes of Age, by Jim Blanchard, was selected for best popular history, while The Mosaic Village: An Illustrated History of Winnipeg’s North End, by Russ Gourluck, took the honours in the local-history category.
The award for best scholarly history went to Manitoba Premiers of the 19th and 20th Centuries, edited by Barry Ferguson and Robert Wardhaugh.
The winners were announced Thursday in honour of May 12’s annual Manitoba Day designation.
The winners receive a framed certificate but no cash, historical society spokesman Gordon Goldborough said.
