Hey there, time traveller!

THE Western Canada Summer Games came to a close in Swift Current, Sask., Sunday night and Team Manitoba will be bringing home 171 medals.
Manitoba’s medal count put them in third place as Alberta dominated with 299 medals and Saskatchewan grabbed second place with 213.
Yukon Territory was in fourth place with nine, Northwest Territories finished with six medals and Nunavut won two.
The final day for Manitoba was an exciting one as both the female and male volleyball teams were playing for gold.
Manitoba’s female side gave Alberta a straight set whooping as they came away with a 25-16, 25-20, 25-23 victory. But the guys weren’t able to do the same as Alberta beat Manitoba convincingly — 25-21, 25-15, 25-11.
But female indoor volleyball wasn’t Manitoba’s only gold medal on the final day as Madi Lawrence finished in first place in the heptathlon after two days of events.
The men’s 4×400-metre relay team — anchored by closing ceremonies flag-bearer Luc Deleau and also featuring Adam Chahid, Noah Hoffman, Noel Kendle and Riley Neufeld — will also bring home gold medals as their time of three minutes and 15.12 seconds edged out Saskatchewan’s 3:15.95.
Manitoba’s mixed team relay triathlon squad also raced their way to the podium as they claimed a silver medal.
The Manitoba wrestlers closed the competition out in style as they grappled their way to six gold, four silver and five bronze medals on Sunday. Claire MacDougall, Peytyn Senka, Sam Pereira, Owen Giancola, Hayden Piché and Ebraheim Aldrar were the wrestlers to win gold Sunday.
Manitoba also had some success on the golf course, as Braxton Kuntz totalled 215 after three rounds to finish in second place in the male individual event.
He was one shot away from tying Alberta’s Cole Robert Bergheim to force a playoff for the gold.
Kuntz and teammates Noah Fiks, Adam Ingram, Carter Johnson and Trey Ross grabbed Manitoba a silver medal in the male team golf event.
The female golf team of Armaan Dhillon, Sarah Farmer, Cala Korman, Jeri Lafleche and Crystal Zamzow won bronze.
