Daylight saving will end in the Pacific time zone at 2 a.m. on Nov. 5, meaning B.C. will wait another year to consider ending the practice.
B.C. residents are set to gain an extra hour of sleep early Sunday morning, Nov. 5, as daylight saving time will come to an end.
At 2 a.m. on Sunday, the clocks will go back 60 minutes across most of the province — except for the Kootenay and northeast regions, which will stay on Mountain time.In 2019, the provincial government passed legislation to make daylight savings time permanent and avoid changing clocks twice a year. However, the legislation will kick in once all of the American states in the Pacific time zone — Washington, Oregon and California — follow suit.According to a record-breaking public engagement survey in 2019, 93 per cent of more than 223,000 British Columbians who responded said they would support the change.
Stay alert In B.C., the time change signals the winter months are fast approaching despite the cold, windy conditions already in play amid several rain and snowfall warnings. It also means darkness will reign true for most of the day and officials are reminding the public to take extra precautions, especially when heading out on the road.On average, the provincial agency says 44 per cent of crashes involving pedestrians each year take place between October and January.
