YELLOWKNIFE — The Northwest Territories is considering whether to end seasonal time changes after a survey suggested there’s interest in the move.
More than 87 per cent of 3,545 respondents said they are in favour of adopting a permanent time standard in the territory.Sign up to receive daily headline news from the Calgary Herald, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.

Several others said they would like to see an end to time changes regardless of which permanent time standard is chosen. The territory says the time-change survey has had the greatest number of people weighing in, followed by a 2017 survey on cannabis legalization that garnered roughly 1,100 responses.
The Northwest Territories government says the results will help inform the executive council’s decision, but nothing would happen immediately if it decided to move to a permanent time.
