Remember to spring forward

Clocks move forward by one hour on March 13

By NUNATSIAQ NEWS

Daylight saving time (DST) began in most parts of Canada at 2:00 a.m. local time on March 13.

The rule for changing your clocks is “spring forward, fall back,” so be sure you set your clocks ahead an hour.

In Newfoundland and Labrador daylight saving time begins at 12:01 am. The province of Saskatchewan does not observe daylight saving time, except the Battle River area, which includes the city of Lloydminster.

The names and abbreviations of Canadian time zones also change until we go back to standard time on the first Sunday in November: Pacific Daylight Time (PDT), Mountain Daylight Time (MDT), Central Daylight Time (CDT), Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), Atlantic Daylight Time (ADT), and Newfoundland Daylight Time (NDT)
