Officials in British Columbia have announced plans to permanently adopt daylight saving time, putting an end to the practice of changing clocks twice each year.
The Canadian province’s decision means residents will no longer need to adjust their timepieces in spring and fall, as the region will maintain the time setting that provides additional daylight hours during evening periods.
While the change is designed to give people more sunlight at the end of each day, medical studies indicate that maintaining daylight saving time year-round may pose certain health concerns for the population.
The policy shift reflects a growing trend among various jurisdictions to eliminate the seasonal time changes that have been standard practice for decades.
