Hey there, time traveller!

Winnipeg police are planning to flood areas of the downtown with additional foot patrol officers and cadets, part of a new safety initiative called CentreLine.
Deputy chief Gord Perrier told the police board Friday that an additional 35 officers and cadets will be deployed in key areas in the heart of the city.
“Within our business plan, one of our premier items has been a downtown safety strategy,” Perrier told the board, adding the initiative will be launched within 30 days, when more details will be released.
Perrier said the initiative is the product of extensive consultations with business owners, the Downtown BIZ, residents and social service agencies .
Officers and cadets will be positioned where people are, including transit stops and walkways, for example, he said.
