Earlier this year, the province asked residents to weigh in on how time should be observed in B.C. through an online survey and written submissions.
Premier John Horgan says that it doesn’t make sense to stop the time changes when B.C.’s neighbours and trading partners in the United States, including Washington, Oregon and California, use daylight time.
Saskatchewan does not observe daylight saving time and remains on standard time year-round.
In 2020, daylight saving time will kick in again on Sunday, March 8 at 3 a.m. Following that, it will end again at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 1.
