Hey there, time traveller!

Winnipeg’s champion for the impoverished and the hungry was officially recognized as a member of the Order of Canada Friday in Ottawa.
David Northcott, executive director of Winnipeg Harvest, received the honour at Rideau Hall during the investiture ceremony presided over by Gov. Gen. David Johnston.
He was one of 22 members, 21 officers and one companion to receive new honours on Friday.
Northcott earned the distinction for his commitment to fighting poverty and hunger in Canada for nearly three decades. He joins such luminaries as coaching legend Scotty Bowman, former prime minister Paul Martin and retired general Rick Hillier on this year’s list.
One of the country’s highest civilian honours, the Order of Canada was established in 1967 to recognize Canadians who have made outstanding achievements and shown dedication to community and service to the nation.
More than 5,000 Canadians have been invested into the Order of Canada during the past 40 years. The appointments are made on the recommendation of an advisory council.
