It's that time of year again where we set our clocks back one hour and return to Standard Time. 
    
Daylight Saving Time ends on the first Sunday in November and returns the second Sunday in March.
    
The official time change happens at 2 a.m. Sunday, and it's probably a good idea to adjust your clocks before heading to bed Saturday night.
    
It's also a good time to check both your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms to ensure they are both in working order, replacing the batteries if needed.

Welcome back to Made in Manitoba, and tonight we're joined by the first ever Made in Manitoba guest all those years ago... Steve Bell. He's released his 23rd album. It's called "The Glad Surprise", and once again he's been gracious with his time to join us to talk about it.

Ports in British Columbia could potentially be paralyzed again starting next week, as the latest labour dispute has triggered a provincewide lockout notice from employers against a union of more than 700 foremen.

The BC Maritime Employers Association says in a statement that it will "defensively" lock out members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 514 starting Monday at 8 a.m., shutting down all cargo operations provincewide but leaving cruise ships and operations for grain vessels unaffected.

The defending champions have taken the year off. Miniota/Elkhorn C-Hawks assistant coach Keith Orr will join Clayton Dreger on the Tiger Hills Hockey League Report which airs Fridays at 5:15 p.m. on CJRB Radio 1220.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers running back Brady Oliveira is the West Division finalist for the CFL's Most Outstanding Player Award and Most Outstanding Canadian.

Maureen Anderson lost both her sons to their overseas service in the Canadian Army, even if they died years later and a continent away from the hot dust and violence of the Afghanistan war.

Growing up, Ron Anderson was more serious, “a little fighter,” his mother recalls. His younger brother Ryan was quieter, softer. Both joined the military before they finished high school, already certain of what their career paths would be.

“My boys were very kind to me, and I miss them terribly,” Anderson said in an interview this week from her home in Oromocto, N.B. 

Mounties have dismantled what they say is the largest, most sophisticated illicit drug "superlab" in Canada that had been acting as a "supermarket" for organized crime. 

Police say the lab mass produced and distributed the powerful opioid fentanyl and methamphetamine across Canada and internationally.

David Teboul, assistant commissioner with the RCMP's Pacific region, told a news conference Thursday that dismantling the lab “undoubtedly saved thousands of lives in Canada and abroad.”
