DISTRICT: Temiskaming and area residents: Do not forget to set your clocks forward, marking the beginning of daylight saving time for 2024.

Daylight saving time will begin this year on Sunday, March 10 at 2 a.m. local time. While we might lose an hour of sleep by “springing forward,” it also marks the day when we’ll begin to notice those longer daylight hours.

Canadians in most time zones should set their manual devices ahead an hour on Saturday, Mar. 9 before they head to bed. Smartphones, smartwatches and other digital and wi-fi enabled devices, however, will likely automatically adjust while you’re sleeping. (It doesn’t hurt to check them when you wake up on Mar. 10, just to be sure!)
