Hey there, time traveller!

Manitoba has revealed the 50 newest recipients of a series of special grants disbursed for original teacher-led projects across the province.
On Monday, Education Minister Wayne Ewasko announced $5 million has been earmarked for the latest batch of Teachers’ Idea Fund winners.
The upcoming projects will support students’ mental health and well-being, Ewasko said in a news release.
The Winnipeg School Division’s Isaac Brock School and Rossburn Collegiate in the Park West School Division are among the successful applicants for 2023-24.
The former has been allotted upwards of $125,000 to create “a culturally responsive mental health continuum.” The latter is building a “wellness room” with about $70,000.
“School divisions, school leaders and teachers are working together to implement innovative ideas that will help improve well-being and mental health of students and staff, promote school presence and engagement, remove barriers to success, and help Manitoba students reach their full potential,” Ewasko said.
The provincial government launched the five-year, $25-million fund for educational pilot projects and infrastructure upgrades in March 2021.
