Daylight Saving Time is coming to an end in Canada, which means an additional hour of sleep awaits.
In Canada, daylight saving time is quickly approaching. It will begin on Sunday, March 12, 2023, and last until Sunday, November 5, 2023. During this period, the clocks will be adjusted to provide an extra hour of daylight in the evenings.
Daylight saving time is observed in most provinces and territories, with a few exceptions. Here's how it typically works in the country:
-
Start of Daylight Saving Time: Daylight saving time usually begins on the second Sunday in March. At 2:00 AM local standard time, clocks are set forward by one hour to 3:00 AM local daylight time. This change is made to make better use of daylight during the longer days of spring and summer.
-
End of Daylight Saving Time: Daylight saving time ends on the first Sunday in November. At 2:00 AM local daylight time, clocks are set back by one hour to 1:00 AM local standard time. This change is made to adjust to the shorter days of fall and winter.
It's important to note that not all parts of Canada observe daylight saving time. Some regions, such as most of Saskatchewan and some areas of northeastern British Columbia, do not change their clocks and remain on standard time throughout the year. Additionally, the start and end dates of daylight saving time may be subject to local or provincial regulations, so it's advisable to verify the specific dates and rules for your particular location in Canada.
