Tonight, we turn back our clocks one hour and return to standard time. But the majority of North Vancouver and West Vancouver residents say we should stop monkeying with our chronographs.
They are split though on whether daylight time or standard time would be a better place to be year-round.
The North Shore News polled 1,656 North Shore News readers and asked the question: Should British Columbia continue to change the clocks twice each year?
The poll ran from Oct. 26 to Nov. 3. Of the 1,656 votes, we can determine that 689 are from within the community. The full results are as follows:
There is a body of evidence that shows seasonal time changes impact moods, workplace productivity, health and safety.
British Columbia has legislation to keep the province on daylight time, which would mean a later sunrise in the mornings in winter and later sunset, but only if the coastal states in America make the change as well.
Whether you are a standard supporter or daylight denizen, we turn back our clocks at 2 a.m. on Sunday.
Results are based on an online study of adult North Shore News readers that are located in North Shore. The margin of error - which measures sample variability - is +/- 2.4%, 19 times out of 20.
