Hey there, time traveller!

THE province on Thursday ordered the removal of an unauthorized rock walls built on Crown land at Victoria Beach.
Manitoba Conservation said the rock structures, the most recent one being built two weeks ago, were built on Crown land without approval.
The province also said it is investigating reports of other unauthorized shoreline construction taking place at Victoria Beach, and may issue more stop-work orders.
Manitoba Water Stewardship said it is working with the municipality and other local governments on a plan for erosion control structures on Lake Winnipeg.
Many lakeshore cottage owners are fearful if they don’t protect the shoreline they risk losing more land and, in cases, their cottages to erosion.
The more severe damage happened last October when an overland cyclone whipped up the lake.
In some areas high waves wiped out metres of shoreline and uprooted trees.
However, many non-lakefront cottagers say the rock walls, or revetments, will destroy the beaches.
The provincial order does not apply tgo private land.
