Ottawa Now - Is splitting up with Daylight Savings Time a riskier gamble than sticking with it?

Parts of Canada will be ‘springing forward’ this coming Sunday, but it will be the final time that British Columbia will observe the time change. Once November rolls around, they won’t be moving their clocks 60 minutes backwards. They’ve officially broken up with Daylight Savings Time, and will share the same time zone as the Yukon Territories. Now, this also means that B.C. will be one hour behind Washington State, Oregon, and California once Winter arrives. However, Eby is hoping that their American neighbours will eventually join the movement. So what about here in Ontario? Recent movements have valiantly tried to exterminate Daylight Savings Time, but the province says they would only consider a ban if New York and Quebec do the same. Kristy Cameron examines both sides of the debate with Rebecca Robillard on today’s Ottawa Now. She is the Co-Chair of the Canadian Sleep Research Consortium, and she also directs clinical sleep research at UOttawa’s Institute of Mental Health.
