Quick Summary

Premier Wab Kinew announced that Manitoba will stop switching between Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time, opting to remain on DST permanently after surveying residents earlier this year. The survey found that 92% of Manitobans preferred a permanent time system, with 34% favouring DST specifically. The change is expected to take effect immediately, eliminating the November clock change for the first time in Manitoba's history.

Story summary

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew announced that clocks will not revert to Standard Time in November and that the province will remain on Daylight Saving Time (DST) year-round. This decision follows a survey of over 72,000 Manitobans where 58% preferred staying on DST and 34% wanted permanent standard time. The move aligns Manitoba with other provinces like Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and territories such as the Yukon that have abandoned biannual clock changes. The health benefits of more evening daylight, including reduced risks of injuries and accidents, influenced the decision despite concerns over darker mornings. However, this change creates time zone complications for parts of northwestern Ontario, like Kenora, which will be an hour behind both Thunder Bay and Winnipeg during winter months.
