This weekend, Canadians will get an extra hour of shut-eye as clocks "fall back" for daylight saving time. At 2 a.m. on Sunday, clocks roll back an hour, bringing the annual gift of bonus sleep—unless, of course, you have kids, pets, or morning chores out in Portage la Prairie, where cows stick to their own schedule and won’t be reading the clocks.
While some welcome the extra hour, others in Portage know it’s just a brief reprieve before a week of clock-checking and mild confusion. And as always, residents will dutifully adjust every microwave, oven, and car clock by an hour (or at least most of them).
For now, the ritual lives on across Canada. So, enjoy it, Portage la Prairie—consider it a free hour to ponder just where all the daylight really goes!
