Standard time returns to Manitoba this weekend. Early Sunday morning clocks will need to be turned back one hour to end a summer of daylight saving time which returns again on Sunday March 8th, 2020.
A bill proposing an amendment to the Official Time Act presented by MLA Cliff Graydon to permanently end daylight saving time didn’t make it through the Legislature. Graydon noted health and safety risks associated with the loss of one hour switching to daylight time in the spring due to a loss of sleep leading to increased traffic accidents and heart attacks.
