Daylight Savings Time <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

cross likewise major regulate adoption <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Daylight Savings Time was *adopted* in Canada in 1908. In fact, it started in Thunder Bay, Ontario. In Canada, each province *regulates* the adoption of Daylight Savings Time (DST), but not all provinces make this seasonal time change. If you *cross* the border into Saskatchewan, you will notice that they do not change their clocks seasonally. They operate in the Central Time Zone all year. Recently, some provinces in Canada have made a *major* change in their commitment to keeping time. British Columbia moved to abandon DST in 2019, and the Yukon *likewise* gave up changing their clocks in 2020. <\/p>\n\n

illustration encounter illogically inclined uniquely<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

During the winter in Canada, the days become noticeably short; there are fewer daylight hours. In the early 20th century, this lack of natural light *illustrated* the need to change the clocks to take advantage of the light available in the earlier part of the day. Observing DST is not* unique* to Canada; there are 62 countries around the world that also participate in this time change. However, newcomers to Canada often *encounter* Daylight Savings Time for the first time. With the movement away from agriculture and the commonality of electric lighting, the need to change the clock these days often seems *illogical*. Even still, people who fall asleep and wake up according to their natural rhythm will find an *inclination* to sleep longer into the day in the winter and wake earlier in the summer. It is natural. <\/p>\n\n

decade domain straightforward volume partner <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

International travel and business are two *domains* that are affected by the seasonal time change in Canada. Efforts were made in the 1960\u2019s to synchronize the change to aid international trade with the United States of America. Within the last *decade*, an adjustment was made to the actual day when Daylight Savings Time begins. It was moved a few weeks into November rather than the customary October start in the past; this adjustment followed the same change made in the United States of America. It is important that Canada aligns itself with the United States because they are the biggest trading *partner*. Communicating with businesses or family across time zones becomes less *straightforward* during DST. One other area that feels the effects of the time change is traffic. DST does not change the *volume* of traffic in the city because everyone still follows the normal routine, but it does impact the number of traffic accidents within the week of the time change in the spring. <\/p>\n\n

periods transition fluctuations widespread reliable<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The news media groups *reliably* inform Canadians to change their clocks in the spring and fall. When the clocks are changed, there is always a *period* of adjustment. Thankfully, most of the clocks on our phones and computers change automatically, but there are always a few people who show up an hour earlier or later than expected. Making the time change officially occur on the weekend allows most people to *transition* to the new time before returning to school or work on Monday morning. Enthusiasm for this time change *fluctuates* among Canadians. In the fall, most people welcome the extra hour of sleep; however, in the spring, they lose an hour of sleep. Questions about whether DST should continue are *widespread*; many people think this practice should end. <\/p>\n"]}
