The Times Aren’t A-changin’ in Western Canada but There’s Still Adjustments Ahead
The clocks aren’t changing Sunday in the western half of the country, but that doesn’t mean changes aren’t coming as British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, northwestern Ontario and the Northwest Territories all chose this year to stick with daylight time. Kids heading to school, construction workers to the worksite and adrenalin-seekers to the slopes are some of those facing the challenge of darker mornings in the months ahead. In Winnipeg, the sun isn’t going to rise until almost 9:30 a.m. in late December. In Edmonton, sunrise at that point will be around 9:50 a.m. In Prince Rupert, B.C., it will be after 10 a.m.
Several regions in western Canada, including British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, northwestern Ontario, and the Northwest Territories, have opted to remain on daylight saving time. This decision means residents will face darker mornings in the coming months. Specific locations like Winnipeg and Edmonton will experience sunrises well after 9:30 a.m. in late December.
