B.C. Will Not Change Its Clocks on November 1 This Year
Published
For the first time in decades, people in British Columbia will not have to change their clocks on November 1. Most of the rest of Canada and the United States will set their clocks back one hour on that day to end daylight saving time.
The change means that B.C. will stay on the same time during the autumn and winter months. Many people usually have to adjust their phones, computers, cars, and kitchen clocks at the end of October or the beginning of November. This year, British Columbians can skip that task, and their clocks will stay as they are.
The decision makes B.C. different from many of its neighbours. Residents in provinces such as Alberta and Ontario, and in most American states, will still change their clocks on November 1. People who travel between B.C. and other parts of North America should check the time carefully, because the time difference between regions will be different for part of the year.
Readers who want more information can check official government sources or their local news for details about time zones and daylight saving time. Clocks in B.C. will remain unchanged on November 1, but people in the rest of the country will need to set their clocks back by one hour.
