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

Wish this could magically happen one day in ONtario.

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.
