Time change tonight – turn clocks back one hour before bed

LETHBRIDGE, AB. — Most Canadians will turn back their clocks back tonight as the country returns to standard time.

The change takes place in most provinces, including here in Alberta, on Sunday at 2 a.m. Clocks will not be changing in the B.C. Peace, including in Dawson Creek and Fort St. John, which will now be in line with mountain standard time, the same as Alberta.

Clocks do not change in Saskatchewan, which will now be on central standard time, one hour ahead of Alberta.

The switch means it will get lighter earlier in the morning and darker earlier in the evening.

City of Lethbridge Fire & Emergency Services reminds residents that it’s also an opportunity to check their smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors.

The department says the expiry date should be reviewed every year and putting in fresh batteries is an important step to ensure the devices are working properly. If a smoke or CO detector is more than 10 years old, officials say it will need to be replaced.

In a release, it was stated that “having a working smoke/CO detector is the best way to protect your family in the case of a fire or carbon monoxide.”
