B.C.’s Eby is urging West Coast governors to fall in line with daylight time change
British Columbia will remain on daylight time year-round to boost public well-being and urges U.S. West Coast states to adopt the change for seamless regional trade and travel.
- On Monday, British Columbia Premier David Eby announced the province will spring forward this Sunday and not revert in November.
- Eby says permanent daylight time will improve public well‑being, and B.C. seeks alignment with neighbouring economies to keep travel, trade and transportation unhindered.
- Eby told governors Bob Ferguson, Tina Kotek and Gavin Newsom that B.C. will switch for residents' best interests, after delaying until the states could move with it.
- The move will leave B.C. an hour behind Washington state, Oregon, and California from November to March, unless those states join Eby in ending the time change, Eby says.
- Eby urged the governors to press the U.S. Congress for authorization, copying the letter to the congressional delegations of Washington, Oregon and California.
