The clocks will “spring” forward this weekend.
Daylight saving time kicks in at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, March 9th, giving us an extra hour of sunlight.
Most cell phones and devices that are connected to the internet will change the time automatically, but other clocks may need to be changed manually.
Many do not like the bi-annual time change, with the Ontario Government passing legislation in 2020 to remove daylight saving time entirely. The shift is reliant on the Quebec Government and New York State to also pass the legislation. It’s important to note that there is precedence for this kind of legislation as both the province of Saskatchewan and Yukon territory follow permanent daylight saving time, staying on summer hours all year with no time shifts. British Columbia also passed similar legislation to Ontario in 2019, with their decision relying on Washington, Oregon, and California. While the trio of states agreed to the change, an official date has not been set.
Account for the time change and make sure to get your sleep!
