Hey there, time traveller!

Mounties in Norway House received an unexpected delivery Friday morning.
Constables Dylan Fedrau and Lindsay Bawn were the first responders to a call at a home in Kinosao Sipi First Nation.
When the pair arrived, they found expectant mother Christian Danis in labour and partner Mitchell Muskego at her side.
Bawn took over caring for Danis while Fedrau caught the baby in what was a very quick home birth in the community 800 kilometres north of Winnipeg, a news release said.
Emergency medical services arrived shortly afterward.
“As a police officer, you never know what the next call will be and you have to be ready for anything,” Fedrau said in the release.
“I don’t know that I could have anticipated helping to bring a baby into the world when I went to work in the morning, but I am so glad to have been able to help and to be one of the first to meet the little guy.”
Danis and newborn Dylan — who was named after the delivering officer — are both doing well, as is Muskego, the release said.
The officers later visited the family and gave Dylan a stuffed animal and blanket with the Mounties’ branding.
Fedrau said he was honoured the parents named their newborn son after him.
“I love working in this community, and to now have such an amazing, permanent, and life-long connection to it means more to me than the family could possibly know,” Fedrau said.
