Hey there, time traveller!

The Manitoba government is investing $215,000 toward a tower crane training facility.
The funding will support the construction of a foundation base and the erection of a tower crane at a new facility that the Operating Engineers Training Institute of Manitoba Inc. is building northeast of Winnipeg.
Business, Mining, Trade and Job Creation Minister Jamie Moses announced the investment in a news release Tuesday. It will allow tower crane operators to complete training as soon as this fall.
Tower and mobile crane operators are essential in both the construction and manufacturing industries, and investing in training infrastructure will help ensure there is a sufficient supply of workers to fill positions in the future, Moses said.
The Manitoba government forecasts 46 job openings for crane operators in the next five years, he added.
