On Sunday, watch out for your clocks moving one hour forward as daylight savings time begins.

A lost hour of sleep and darker mornings will begin after 2 a.m. becomes 3 a.m. on March 8. Most tech and electronics are set to auto-adjust but you might want to fix your watches and manual clocks before going to bed.

The B.C. government put forward legislation last fall to stay with year-round daylight time based on 93 per cent of respondents favouring the change. 75 per cent of the about 223,000 residents cited health and wellness reasons related to later evening light when they could be more active.

Meanwhile, the Yukon government announced this week it will end the practice of seasonal time change after Yukoners adjust their clocks forward one final time on Sunday to stay with daylight time.

In Alberta, Premier Jason Kenney also says about 90 per cent of Albertans recently surveyed said they wanted to scrap daylight time and stop changing clocks by an hour twice a year.
