This Sunday, March 8, clocks will spring forward for Daylight Saving Time. This year is significant — it will be the last time BC changes its clocks. BC is adopting permanent Daylight Saving Time (Pacific Time, PT), which:
- Provides extra daylight during the winter months
- Supports healthier routines
- Simplifies scheduling for businesses and services
Smoke Alarm Reminder 🚨
While adjusting your clocks, take a moment to check your smoke alarms to ensure they are working properly.
Tips for maintaining smoke alarms:
- Replace batteries twice a year in battery-operated alarms
- Check the date — alarms have a 10-year lifespan
- Test monthly for reliability
