Daylight Saving Time

Welcome to the first Monday of Daylight Saving Time… and it may be our last depending on how this year plays out with what the BC government decides to do!

A few tidbits about DST:

-Here in Canada, each province gets to decide whether to use DST. Currently out of our 13 provinces/territories, 8 observe DST, 1 doesn't observe DST, and 4 provinces partially observe DST
-BC is one of the provinces that partially observe DST - most of BC does observe daylight saving time with the exception of parts of eastern BC
-DST starts on the second Sunday in March and clocks move back by one hour on the first Sunday in November

Sidenote: DST affects my job! Every time the clock changes, it also alters when meteorologists can look up new weather information. As updated weather charts usually come out at a certain time based on the non-changing Zulu time, it generally means that I have to wait an extra hour to access information during the DST months!
