This is your official bi-annual reminder to reset your clocks this weekend!
Daylight Saving Time (DST) will come to an end in BC on Sunday, November 6th at 2 a.m., reverting the time back by one hour to 1 a.m.
While the time on your electronic devices will probably reset automatically, those manual watches and clocks will need to be turned back by hand.
In 2019, a provincial survey asked British Columbians if the province should continue to conduct the daylight saving time practice every year.
In total, a whopping 223,273 residents responded to the survey, with 93% of people responding speaking in favour of making a permanent switch to DST.
Despite this overwhelming response, nothing has gone forward (no pun intended).
Outgoing BC Premier John Horgan has gone on record on several occasions to suggest that BC would stop switching the clocks when daylight saving rolls around, permanently switching to DST.
In March, Horgan was hopeful that 2022 would be the last year that British Columbians would have to mark daylight saving time.
At the time, the province said it would only end the practice if several US counterparts ended the practice which include Washington, Oregon and California.
In addition to changing your clocks back, people should also use this time as to check your smoke detectors to make sure they are in good working order.
By aligning your smoke detector checks with DST you have set dates, twice a year, to check on these incredibly important lifesaving tools.
