16 DAYS UNTIL THE CLOCKS GO BACK — SHOULD NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR FINALLY END THE TIME CHANGE? ⏰ ⚠️
It’s almost that time of year again!
On Sunday, November 1, clocks across most of Newfoundland and Labrador will move back one hour, bringing an extra hour of sleep but also darker evenings as winter approaches.
But with more Canadian provinces and territories moving away from changing their clocks twice a year, the question is being asked again: Should Newfoundland and Labrador do the same?
🇨🇦 Across Canada, things are changing!
Saskatchewan has kept the same time year-round for decades, while Yukon has also eliminated seasonal clock changes.
British Columbia, Alberta and Manitoba have also taken steps toward ending the twice-yearly clock change.
Meanwhile, Ontario, including Northern Ontario, continues to change its clocks, along with several Atlantic provinces.
For years, people have debated whether changing the clocks actually serves a useful purpose anymore.
Some argue that moving the clocks twice a year disrupts sleep, affects children and families, and creates unnecessary confusion.
Others prefer the current system because it provides brighter mornings in winter and longer daylight in the evenings during summer.
And while permanent daylight saving time might sound appealing, it would also mean much darker mornings during the winter months.
So what about Newfoundland and Labrador?
Should our province finally pick one time and stick with it all year long?
⏰ Keep changing the clocks twice a year?
☀️ Stay on daylight saving time permanently for brighter evenings?
🌅 Stay on standard time permanently for brighter winter mornings?
What do you think? Is it time for Newfoundland and Labrador to stop changing the clocks once and for all?
