B.C.’s Premier says this weekend could be the last one where clocks in the province fall back one hour.
John Horgan says legislation to keep the province on Daylight Saving Time year-round will be coming this fall.
“But we will not enact it until next year. I’ve been in touch with jurisdictions up and down the coast,” he said. “We would obviously want to have a Pacific Time that is consistent from Baja all the way up to Alaska.”
“The Yukon Territory has assured me that when we change, they’ll change. Washington and Oregon have passed their legislation. California is working on it, but in the States they have to get approval from Congress in Washington D.C.”
Horgan says B.C. residents will still need to spring forward one hour next March.
“When we spring forward that will likely be the end of it,” Horgan added. “Then we will enact our legislation and hope that the Americans can catch up with us.”
And while Horgan admits Daylight Saving Time could be a low priority for the US Congress right now because of the talk about impeaching the President, he remains hopeful.
For now, Daylight Saving Time is set to end at 2 a.m. this Sunday, November 3.
