Premier Danielle Smith says Albertans will soon be ditching twice-a-year clock changes.
Smith told Postmedia that the province plans to stick with daylight time year-round.

That means Albertans would stay on the current time and no longer move their timepieces back an hour in the fall or forward in the spring.
On a practical level, it means that there would be less daylight for Albertans in the mornings during the winter but more light late in the day.
The change is expected to be made in legislation coming later this week.
Smith announced last month the government was consulting on time change, after British Columbia said it was staying on daylight time permanently.
“I kind of like more sunlight at night, and I think most people do, too, because we are on daylight eight months out of the year,” she said at the time.
“Going to standard (time) 12 months of the year would be a big adjustment for people,” she said.
She added that B.C.’s shift raised questions about whether Alberta should be aiming for consistency across western provinces.
As it stands, Alberta is set to revert to standard time on Nov. 1.
The changes are likely to affect businesses, transportation and even Albertans’ health.
Some medical experts and organizations, including the Canadian Sleep Society and the Canadian Sleep Research Consortium, have said permanent daylight time could result in negative health outcomes, including sleep issues.
They advocate for permanent standard time to avoid the negative health impacts of clock changes, including an increase in heart rate, blood pressure and disruptions to the immune system and metabolism.
However, proponents, such as the B.C. government, say extra daylight in the evening could make for safer commutes, and would align with when more people are active, improving overall well-being.
If legislation passes and Alberta sticks to daylight time year-round, the clocks won’t change, but times will change in relation to other provinces.
