TORONTO -
It's a rite of passage that signals the coming spring - and for many winter-weary Canadians, the lost hour of sleep is a fair bargain.
On Sunday, clocks in every corner of the country except Saskatchewan should be turned forward one hour to herald the start of daylight-saving time.
Officially the change occurs at 2 a.m. Sunday, local time, although most people take care of the chore before going to bed on Saturday night.
Only Saskatchewan, which does not mark daylight savings, do the clocks remain unchanged throughout the year.
The shift also serves as a reminder to install new batteries in warning devices such as smoke detectors and hazard warning radios.
In areas that observe the change, standard time will return on Nov. 1.
