Saskatchewan happy not to recognize daylight saving time

Tonight, a big chunk of Canadians will go room-to-room changing every clock, including the one on the microwave and the oven, pushing time up one hour for daylight saving time. But not in Saskatchewan.

Because Saskatchewan remains on Central Standard Time (CST) all year long,people in the province never have to spring forwardor fall backlike the rest of the country, and no one CBC News spoke to is in a rush to change.

• Debate over daylight time continues as most of Canada springs forward this weekend
• End of daylight time agrees with biological clock

"I like it the way it is, it's simple here and straightforward," Regina'sJeret Friesensaid."I think it gets a lot more complicated. I have a sister who lives in the 'States and is always switching back and forth and she grew up here and she misses the way we used to do it."

Jeret's wife Amanda agrees thatadding and taking away an hour twice a year just complicates things.

"To me it just sounds like a headachethose provinces having to push forward and push backward on timeso yeah, Ijust like it simple here and don't complicate things," she said.

If you have active kids with a lot on the go, switching clocks could throw a wrench into weekly planning, especially if you forget to switch the time on one clock.

"I'm glad we don't change it," Joline Matsalla said."I like it;I think it's easier for scheduling and for kids."

In Canada, it's up to each province to decide whether to use daylight time, and not all do. Most but not all jurisdictions in Canada and the U.S. have been moving their clocks ahead by one hour on the second Sunday in March and back by one hour on the first Sunday in November.

Along with Saskatchewan, pockets of Ontario and British Columbia do not use daylight time.
