Quick Summary

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew announced that the province will adopt permanent daylight time year-round based on a survey where 58% of respondents favored this change over staying in standard time year-round. The decision means residents no longer need to adjust their clocks twice a year, aligning with similar choices made by Alberta and British Columbia but differing from Saskatchewan which has used permanent standard time since 1966. Loren Remillard, CEO of the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce, supports this move as it benefits businesses by extending evening daylight hours.

Story summary

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew announced that clocks will not revert to Standard Time in November and that the province will remain on Daylight Saving Time (DST) year-round. This decision follows a survey of over 72,000 Manitobans where 58% preferred staying on DST and 34% wanted permanent standard time. The move aligns Manitoba with other provinces like Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and territories such as the Yukon that have abandoned biannual clock changes. The health benefits of more evening daylight, including reduced risks of injuries and accidents, influenced the decision despite concerns over darker mornings. However, this change creates time zone complications for parts of northwestern Ontario, like Kenora, which will be an hour behind both Thunder Bay and Winnipeg during winter months.
