KELOWNA–British Columbians will join most of the rest of Canada in setting the clocks forward one hour at 2 a.m.
Last fall, B.C. residents expressed their distaste for the switch between Daylight Savings Time (DST) and Pacific Standard Time (PST).
Almost 25 thousand people signed an online petition to let the province remain on Daylight Savings Time year-round.
The petition was handed to the province, and it’s creator, Bob Dieno from Kamloops, met with his local MLAs.
Dieno was assured that the MLAs would move ahead with discussions about the issue in the legislature, but so far nothing has changed.
Fire Departments in the province say there is at least one good thing about changing the clocks twice a year: people are also encouraged to check that their smoke detectors are working at the same time.
