Daylight Saving Time ends soon and here's when Ontario clocks roll back

Get ready to turn your clocks back — daylight saving time is ending soon.

After eight months of late summer sunsets, fall is in full effect, and with that comes the return of standard time.

On March 9, Canadians in areas that observe daylight saving time either accepted the spring forward or grumpily changed their clocks.

Since 2019, there has been a petition to stop the time change altogether, and it makes its rounds every year.

In a couple of weeks, fans of standard time will be able to fall back and get that extra hour of sleep again but unfortunately lose precious daylight.

This year, daylight saving time is set to end in parts of Canada on Sunday, Nov. 2.

This time change affects six time zones across the country: Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern, and Atlantic. Newfoundland DST is also 30 minutes behind Atlantic time.

According to timeanddate.com, Canadians should turn their clocks back to 1 a.m. at 2 a.m. local time on Nov. 2.

"Sunrise and sunset will be about 1 hour earlier on Nov. 2, 2025, than the day before. There will be more light in the morning and less light in the evening," states the website.

Regions in Canada that don't observe daylight saving time include most of Saskatchewan, some parts of Quebec and B.C., all of Yukon, and Nunavut's Southampton Island.

If you're not in these parts of Canada, make sure to turn your watches and clocks back.
