As the days become shorter and colder, Canadians anticipate the end of daylight saving time.
The annual daylight saving time commenced on March 12, 2023, when the clocks turned forward by one hour.
During the fall, the clock turns back by one hour to benefit people who like the feeling of sleeping in. The change offers more daylight in the morning but it becomes darker earlier.
The clock turns back one hour on November 5.
Daylight saving time was implemented to give people more daylight time in the evening during the spring and summer.
Though the government of Ontario passed legislation that would end the bi-annual changing of the clock, making daylight saving time permanent in the province in 2020, that has not happened.
Ontario government was waiting for Quebec and New York State to pass similar legislation but New York has requested studies of the likely impact of making either daylight time or standard time permanent.
The Premier of Quebec, Francois Legault, revealed in the spring that he is open to making daylight time permanent but it has not happened.
As things stand, residents of Ontario must prepare for the imminent time change.
