British Columbia officially announced this week that it is ditching the biannual changing of the clocks in favor of permanent daylight saving time.
The Canadian province announced it will end seasonal time changes within its borders because of the reported benefits to people’s physical and mental health, businesses’ schedules, and the consistency of transportation and technology services. The logistics of the plan are largely simple: once the Western Canadians move their clocks forward this spring, they won’t be moving them ever again.
