Hey there, time traveller!

An international tourism event expected to generate $4.6 million in local revenue has touched down in Winnipeg.
Travel operators from across the globe convene in Canada annually for Rendez-vous Canada. This year, Winnipeg is the host site.
The event began Tuesday and ends Friday. An estimated 1,500 people are expected to attend from countries as far flung as China and Australia.
The conference is projected to support 24 jobs and elicit $290,000 in provincial tax revenue, a government news release reads. Last year, Edmonton logged an estimated $65 million in sales by hosting.
Manitoba companies and destinations will be on display.
Indigenous protocols should be followed, and Indigenous expertise will be interwoven in the event — Rendez-vous Canada worked with Indigenous Tourism Manitoba and Manito Ahbee beforehand.
Rendez-vous Canada is nearly 50 years old. It’s meant to showcase Canada to the global travel industry.
