A Manitoba MLA has introduced a bill that would eliminate the province’s twice-yearly clock change. Ron Schuler, MLA for Springfield-Ritchot, brought forward Bill 214, The Official Time Amendment Act 2025, in the Manitoba legislature this week. If passed, the bill would end the seasonal switch between standard time and daylight saving time, keeping Manitoba on daylight time year-round. “I am pleased to rise today and introduce Bill 214, the Official Time Amendment Act, which would discontinue the seasonal time change from daylight saving time,” Schuler says. Schuler says the proposal comes as several neighboring jurisdictions are considering, or have already adopted, similar approaches. “With neighboring provinces like Saskatchewan already on a year-round daylight saving, British Columbia announcing that this spring will be the last time their clocks move forward, and Alberta looking to follow suit, there has never been a more advantageous time to make this change.” googletag.cmd.push(function() { if($(document).width()<900) { s = googletag.defineSlot('/50748803/stol-all-bigbox', [300, 250], 'div-gpt-1648064325258-bbm1'); s.setTargeting('URL', [window.location.pathname]); s.setTargeting('position', [1648064325258]) s.setTargeting('story_id', 'bill-proposes-ending-seasonal-time-change-in-manitoba-'); s.addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().refresh([s], {changeCorrelator: false}); } }); Saskatchewan currently remains on the same time year-round and does not observe daylight saving time. “I have every confidence this bill will have the support of all members of this legislature,” Schuler says. The bill was introduced and read for the first time in the Manitoba legislature on Wednesday, March 4. It would still need to pass additional readings and receive approval before becoming law. Manitoba is set to move clocks ahead one hour this weekend as daylight saving time begins. If the legislation eventually passes, it could mark the end of the twice-yearly time change in the province.
