Alberta’s Smith says province will do away with twice-a-year time change

Premier Danielle Smith says Albertans will soon be ditching twice-a-year clock changes.

Smith told Postmedia that the province plans to stick with daylight time year-round.

That means Albertans would stay on the current time and no longer move their timepieces back an hour in the fall or forward in the spring.

On a practical level, it means that there would be less daylight for Albertans in the mornings during the winter but more light late in the day.

The change is expected to be made in legislation coming later this week.

Smith announced last month that the government was consulting on a time change, after B.C. said it was staying on daylight time permanently.
