This Sunday will be the last time British Columbians have to adjust their clocks for a biannual time change.Premier David Eby made the announcement Monday that the province is making a shift to permanent daylight time.“Thanks for making the time,” Eby quipped, opening a news conference with an audience of school children who would later join him in dancing to Daft Punk’s ‘One More Time’ while holding clocks made out of construction paper. “When we change our clocks twice a year it creates all kinds of problems,” the premier said, noting the disruption to schedules, an increase in car crashes after the clocks change, and “a huge unnecessary impact on the lives of British Columbians.”The move makes good on a pledge by Eby’s predecessor John Horgan that dates back to 2019. At the time, Horgan tabled legislation that would pave the way for an end to time changes but stipulated a desire to maintain “alignment” with Washington, Oregon and California.But Eby said B.C. is tired of waiting, while alluding to the province’s broader plans to move away from interdependence with the U.S. amid an ongoing trade war. “We’re also going to make decisions right now where British Columbia decides what’s best for us,” Eby said. The change means when people in other parts of Canada “fall back” this November, most of B.C. will not. Communities in the province that use mountain time will not be impacted.
