Premiers to talk savings time

When they’re not enjoying golf, a train ride, and a rodeo, Canada’s provincial and territorial premiers will talk this week about the merits of extending the length of daylight savings time.

The premiers are holding their annual meeting this year at the luxurious Banff Springs Hotel, a scenic resort nestled in Banff, Alberta.

The U.S. congress recently passed a bill that will extend the period of daylight savings time in that country. Under it, daylight savings time will start three weeks earlier than in the past – in March – and end one week later, in November.
