Spring forward March 8

Daylights Savings starts Sunday, March 8.

Before heading to bed Saturday night, don't forget to turn your clocks ahead one hour. This will allow for more daylight later in the evening.

U.S. inventor and politician Benjamin Franklin first proposed the concept of Daylight Saving Time in 1784, but modern Daylight Saving Time first saw the light of day in 1895 when an entomologist from New Zealand, George Vernon Hudson, presented a proposal for a two-hour daylight saving shift. However, Germany was the first country to implement DST on April 30, 1916 when the clocks were set forward at 11 p.m., said timeanddate.com.

Many countries in the Northern Hemisphere (north of the equator) observe DST, but not all.

In Canada, all but Saskatchewan observes DST.

Most of Ontario uses DST. Pickle Lake, New Osnaburgh, and Atikokan, three communities located within the Central Time Zone in Northwestern Ontario, all observe Eastern Standard Time all year long, according to wikipedia.

Daylight Saving Time is in use between March and April and ends between September and November as the countries return to Standard Time

Daylight Savings end Sunday, Nov. 1.
