ClocksPublished Saturday, Nov. 06, 2010 12:42PM EDTLast updated Sunday, Nov. 07, 2010 8:19AM EST44 comments Most Canadians will have at least one sign of the coming winter to look forward to on Sunday – an extra hour of sleep.
Canadian clocks are set to fall back one hour overnight Sunday.
The time change begins at 2 a.m. local time across Canada, except in Newfoundland and Labrador, when the time change starts at one minute after midnight.
In most of Saskatchewan, parts of Quebec, and Southampton Island in Nunavut, people will leave their clocks alone since those places don't use daylight savings time in summer.
For the rest of the country, daylight savings returns in March – when clocks are put ahead one hour.
Fire officials are reminding people to also change the batteries in their smoke and carbon monoxide alarms when they turn their clocks back before bedtime Saturday.
At least one insurance company is warning drivers to take extra care because the time shift can affect concentration and reaction time.
