Clocks Go Forward This Weekend

The spring has arrived, and you know the longer, brighter days are getting ever closer when the clocks go forward by an hour.

Daylight Saving Time (DST) is used in over 70 countries and affects over one billion people every year, but the beginning and end dates vary from one country to another.

In Canada, the beginning and end dates even vary between provinces, with some holding on to the changes, while others have disregarded DST.

When local standard time is about to reach Sunday, March 13^th, 2:00AM, clocks are turned forward one hour to Sunday, March 13th, 3:00AM.

 

Here are the provinces/territories that use DST:

Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Québec and Saskatchewan (east/west).

Here are the areas in certain provinces/territories that don’t use DST:

British Columbia (east, northeast, southeast), Ontario (northwest), Québec (east) Saskatchewan and Yukon.
