Manitobans no longer need to remember to spring forward or fall back one hour on their clocks.
Daylight time will be in place permanently, Premier Wab Kinew announced in a news release Thursday.
This change means clocks will not revert to standard time on Nov. 1.
Manitoba joins several other provinces and territories that have adopted or are moving toward a permanent time, including British Columbia, Yukon, Northwest Territories, Alberta and Saskatchewan.
More to come.
