‘Spring ahead’ one hour before bed on Saturday night

Don’t forget to spring ahead.

Before going to be on Saturday night, March 7, moves clocks ahead by one hour as B.C. again enters daylight saving time – permanently.

B.C. will adopt permanent, year-round daylight saving time after clocks shift forward an hour on Sunday, March 8 at 2 a.m. The time change that traditionally would happen to “fall back” in November will not take place.

Eliminating twice-yearly time changes reduces disruptions for families, simplifies scheduling and provides an extra hour of evening light during the winter months, said a B.C, government release.

In summer 2019, the province conducted a public engagement on time observance that saw participation from a record 223,000 people, with 93 per cent in favour of adopting year-round daylight saving time.
