Daylight saving time is this weekend!!!

It’s time to spring forward! Here are some facts

  • Daylight saving time  will begin at 3:00 a.m. on Sunday, March 10
  • The correct term is daylight “saving” (not savings) time. The incorrect term “daylight savings time” is commonly used, especially in Australia, Canada and the United States. It’s also supposed to be lowercase, not uppercase, according to the Associated Press stylebook.
  • Some regions in Que., most of Sask., Southampton Island and some areas in B.C. do not observe DST. In the U.S.: Ariz. and Hawaii don’t use DST.
  • Staying on summer hours all year, with no time shifts, has been implemented in Argentina, Iceland, Russia, Uzbekistan and Belarus.
