Spring Forward, Fall Back. Yup it's that time of year tonight, well tomorrow morning really. At 2:00 am clocks move ahead to 3:00am to give us that extra hour of daylight in the evening.
In the past, Ontario had observed Daylight Saving Time from the first Sunday in April until the last Sunday in October. However, through legislation passed in 2006, Daylight Saving Time now begins three weeks earlier on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. Daylight Saving Time has come under attack. A 2008 Swedish study found that heart attacks were significantly more common the first three weekdays after the spring Daylight Saving Time transition Another study, from two researchers at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, found that daylight time has a significant impact on the number of pedestrians killed by vehicles in the immediate aftermath of the switch.
