EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s government has introduced legislation that would see the province abandon clock changes and remain on daylight time year-round.
Dale Nally, the minister for Service Alberta, introduced the legislation in the house.
Smith signalled earlier this week the move was coming and said decisions such as the one from neighbouring British Columbia to ditch clock changes forced her hand.
If the bill passes, Albertans wouldn’t turn their clocks back by an hour as scheduled on Nov. 1.
