Will Ontario Ever End 'Spring Forward' and 'Fall Back' Time Changes?
Ontario will advance clocks despite 2020 law to end time changes, awaiting coordinated action from New York and Quebec to avoid cross-border trade disruption.
- On Sunday, Ontario will spring its clocks forward at 2 a.m., despite the 2020 law not stopping clocks from moving ahead this weekend, provincial officials say.
- Because the bill required matching action in New York State and Quebec, implementation fell to the Attorney General of Ontario, with the 2020 law conditional on their eliminating the twice-annual change.
- Research cited by the American Academy of Neurology links the spring clock change to an eight-per-cent rise in strokes and suggests increases in suicides and fatal collisions, studies show.
- Ontario will still move clocks forward on Sunday despite a 2020 law to end the practice, as Quebec and B.C. respondents support stopping the change, with 91 and over 90 per cent respectively.
- Regional patchwork across provinces and U.S. states keeps a full, coordinated repeal elusive, as Ontario's clocks still roll forward on Sunday, with Saskatchewan and Yukon having already ended the practice.
