Dont forget clocks fall back this weekend!

Vancouver, BCLocal News

Canadians will revert to standard time on November 2, 2025, gaining an extra hour of sleep as Daylight Saving Time ends. This change, however, brings earlier sunsets, sparking ongoing debates about its relevance. Saskatchewan remains the only province that does not observe this practice. Critics highlight potential negative impacts, including sleep disruption, increased traffic accidents, and mental health issues linked to shorter daylight hours. Supporters argue the longer evenings enhance outdoor activities and boost tourism and retail.

Recent legislative efforts in Ontario and British Columbia aim to establish a permanent time system, but these changes require coordination with neighboring regions. Studies indicate a rise in traffic collisions shortly after the time change, emphasizing safety concerns. For now, British Columbians will continue to adjust their clocks twice a year.
