Many Albertans want to scrap Daylight Saving Time

Aug 10, 2017 | 7:34 AM

EDMONTON – More than two-thirds of the 13,500 Albertans who responded to a government survey say the province should scrap Daylight Saving Time.

Respondents were asked to weigh in on Bill 203 which was proposed by NDP MLA Thomas Dang.

It would see Alberta end the practice of moving clocks ahead one hour in the spring and back an hour in the fall.

It proposes to do away with the fall time change meaning Alberta would be on Mountain Daylight Time all year round.
