Why daylight time?

Many governments across North America and Europe are considering, or moving toward, staying on daylight saving time, rather than standard time.

When we consider our neighbouring provinces, Saskatchewan doesn’t adjust its clocks twice a year, and the B.C. government tabled legislation in October to remain on daylight saving time (summer hours) year round.

Moving to standard time permanently would put us out of sync with those jurisdictions.
