Ontario And United States Add Extra Hour At The Same Time To Benefit Economy

TORONTO - This weekend is the first time that Ontario clocks will "fall back" on the first Sunday in November, under extended daylight saving time.

Daylight saving time will end in the early morning hours of Sunday, November 4. Ontarians should turn their clocks back one hour before going to bed on Saturday night and make sure all computers and other household devices reflect the correct time on Sunday morning.

In 2006, the government extended daylight saving time by four weeks each year. Daylight saving time now starts on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. Similar changes have been adopted by most Canadian provinces and territories, and the United States, helping to aid the smooth flow of goods and services among jurisdictions.
