Summary

  • B.C. will adopt permanent, year-round daylight saving time after clocks shift forward an hour on Sunday, March 8, 2026
  • People and businesses will have eight months to prepare for the elimination of the next time change, previously scheduled for Nov. 1, 2026
  • Eliminating twice-yearly time changes reduces disruptions for families, simplifies scheduling and provides an extra hour of evening light during the winter months

They should have gone with regular time. This will have negative impacts on the health of people, especially children in school.

And to all of those that say time is subjective, I'll believe you what school starts at 10am.

Do you think kids in Thunder Bay are worse off than Montreal because of the time zone relative toe sunrise? They're both on EST, but sunrise is about an hour off between the two of them. Or is it about kids going to school in the dark, because I have bad news for you regarding most of Canada...
