LETHBRIDGE, AB – Daylight Saving Time comes to an end at 2 a.m. on Sunday, November 5, 2023.
Clocks will be moved back one hour. Citizens will certainly enjoy an extra hour to their weekend, but the time change is also a good opportunity to check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
Additionally, Lethbridge Fire & Emergency Services said residents should change their furnace filters.
The expiry date of detectors should be reviewed annually, and officials said putting in fresh batteries is an important step to ensure the devices are working properly.
