Manitoba has decided to stop switching between daylight and standard time annually, following similar moves by British Columbia, Alberta, the Northwest Territories, Yukon (in 2020), and parts of Quebec and Nunavik in northern Canada. This decision will create an unusual situation for northwestern Ontario, particularly around Kenora, which will be one hour behind Thunder Bay to the east and Winnipeg to the west during winter months. The article provides maps illustrating these time zone complications across different regions of Canada.

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.
