加拿大多省11月1日起实行全年固定时间 不再春秋拨钟

11月1日凌晨起,加拿大多个省份与地区不再把时钟拨回标准时间,而是全年保持同一时间。Manitoba 省、British Columbia 省、Alberta 省与西北地区今年首次在秋季不拨钟,安大略省西北部地区同日起与 Manitoba 保持一致;Saskatchewan 省与 Yukon 地区则早已实行全年固定时间。与此同时,安大略省东部、魁北克省与大西洋省份等地仍按惯例在11月1日凌晨2时把时钟拨回一小时。
Manitoba 省政府9月17日宣布该省将永久留在夏令时。省长 Wab Kinew 表示,省政府听取居民意见后作出决定:约7.2万人参加的咨询中,92%的受访者支持结束一年两次的拨钟,其中58%倾向全年夏令时、34%倾向全年标准时间。Manitoba 全年时间定为 UTC-5。
各省政府表示,结束一年两次的时间调整可以减少对睡眠、日常作息与商业排期的扰动。因应时间制度变化,加拿大边境服务局自11月1日起调整 British Columbia、Alberta 与 Manitoba 三省共26个陆路口岸的服务时间,使之与相邻的美国口岸保持一致,新时间执行至2027年3月14日。

Several Canadian Provinces Move to Permanent Year-Round Time Starting November 1
Starting in the early hours of November 1, several Canadian provinces and territories stopped turning their clocks back to standard time and will keep a single year-round time. Manitoba, British Columbia, Alberta and the Northwest Territories did not fall back this autumn for the first time, northwestern Ontario aligned with Manitoba the same day, and Saskatchewan and Yukon had already adopted permanent time. Meanwhile, eastern Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada still turned clocks back one hour at 2 a.m. on November 1 as usual.
The Manitoba government announced on September 17 that the province will remain on daylight saving time permanently. Premier Wab Kinew said the decision followed public input: in a consultation drawing about 72,000 participants, 92 per cent of respondents wanted an end to seasonal clock changes, with 58 per cent preferring permanent daylight time and 34 per cent permanent standard time. Manitoba's year-round time is UTC-5.
Provincial governments say ending the twice-yearly change reduces disruption to sleep, routines and business schedules. Reflecting the new time systems, the Canada Border Services Agency adjusted service hours from November 1 at 26 land ports of entry in British Columbia, Alberta and Manitoba to stay aligned with neighbouring U.S. ports, with the new hours in place until March 14, 2027.
