Spring Forward; Fall back
Try as he did, the efforts of departing Premier John Horgan to eliminate the need for time shifting will continue on past his days in politics it would seem, as our American neighbours have yet to adopt the push coming from BC towards one time for all.
And as a result, the simple rule of time change for across Canada is soon to be observed from coast to coast to coast. (Saskatchewan and a few other locales excepted)
The fall ritual of setting the clocks back has arrived, your opportunity to catch one hour's extra sleep on Sunday morning, with the simple backwards swipe of the hour arms , or the reversal of digits on a clock.
For those that wish to treat the shift of time like New Years Eve, the reversal of time arrives at 2 AM Sunday, though most people wisely turn their clocks back as they retire for bed.
The task somewhat less onerous than in the past, thanks to the advance (and eventual rule) of our electronic devices, smart phones and other electronic gizmos that do the work for us.

And while the shift of sleep patterns is the main aspect of the weekend requirement that people will deal with, caution on the roads on Monday morning, when many return to work or school is recommended as key while we adjust to the new cycle of time.
And as it is every year (since we shifted to the November date) at the start of the month, there's no shortage of information related to the pros and cons of the shifting of time.
Just in case you wake up early on Sunday anyways and have some time on your hands, some of the more interesting items can be found below:
BC in time change 'holding pattern' as seasonal fall back approaches
Time change persists despite experts' consensus to end daylight time
As clocks turn back this weekend, most people want an end to time change
