Like it or hate it, it’s still going to happen in our part of the province.

This year Daylight Saving time begins on Sunday, March 10.

At 2 a.m. clocks will “spring ahead” by one hour and the time will magically become 3 a.m. earning us about an hour more light in the evening. Don’t forget to change the clocks that don’t do it automatically.
