Like it or hate it, itÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s that time of year again. Time to turn back the clock. That means darker afternoons but an extra hour of sleep.

On Sunday, Nov. 4 at 2 a.m. the clocks go back an hour.

On Sunday, March 10, 2019 theyÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™ll spring ahead again.

Not everyone is in favour of the twice-a-year time shift, however.

Last year, Premier John Horgan went on record during the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, saying heÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s not opposed to looking into abolishing daylight savings time but itÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s not on the top of his priority list and heÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™d like to hear from citizens first.

Officials remind us the annual event is a good time to change the batteries in our smoke and carbon monoxide detectors if we havenÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™t done so already when daylight saving time began last March.
