A bill proposed early this year by an MLA was not approved so you will turn your clocks back one hour on Sunday, November 3.

Despite a proposed bill by politician Cliff Graydon in January of 2019, Daylight Saving Time has not been terminated in Manitoba.

Bill 205, also known as The Official Time Amendment Act, was sensationalized across social media and regarded as fact, while the private member's bill had not yet made it through its first reading in the Manitoba legislature. In addition, several other steps must be taken before the bill to end the annual time changes across the province can be declared an official act.

Graydon argued for the bill citing that Daylight Saving Time, "Is very disruptive to a lot of people's lives and there's a lot of negative impact because of it.

"There's depression and there's [sic] heart attacks, that's what studies have found, [and] accident rates increase."

The Conservative government did not support the bill as Greg Nesbitt, MLA for Riding Mountain, says, "The use of Daylight Saving Time in Manitoba is historical. It was first adopted in Winnipeg in 1916 and has been in place for the entire Province since 1963. Daylight Saving Time is used throughout North America, including most of Canada and the United States.

"Manitoba’s clocks are synchronized with the central time zone of the United States to ensure consistency with border crossings, airline flights, and the efficient flow of trade and communications with our largest trading partner."

As of 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 3 Daylight Saving Time will end and clocks will need to be turned back one hour.

Daylight Saving Time will begin again in Canada at 3:00 a.m. on Sunday, March 8, 2020.
