Spring Ahead

It means an hour more of sunshine per day, but for many Canadians it means blurry eyes and the loss of an hour’s sleep, as the nation makes the switch to daylight-saving time Sunday.

Benjamin Franklin first talked about the notion of daylight-saving time in the 1770s while a minister to France, but the it wasn't instituted until 1915 more than a century later.

Remember to set you clocks ahead one-hour tonight before heading to bed. The official change doesn’t occur until 2 a.m. Sunday and will officially end October 29.
