This year’s annual transition to standard time has been suspended in Canada, meaning millions will not adjust their clocks when daylight saving time would normally end in November. The decision follows a shift in federal policy allowing provinces and territories to opt out of the practice, with some regions already making the change permanent. Experts suggest the move could simplify scheduling and reduce health risks linked to time changes, though critics argue it may disrupt seasonal routines. Residents in affected areas are advised to check local guidelines, as the change could lead to longer evenings but earlier sunrises in winter.
For many across Canada, the clocks will not "fall back" an hour in November.
