Change to Daylight Savings Time, Canada and US

 I wonder how many Banks or departments, are not aware of this significant change.  It was pushed through quickly in the US, but the Canadian change was very quiet – can’t be seen to be following those Americans, of course.

Daylight Savings Time (DST) in the United States will begin earlier and end later in 2007 than in years past. The Energy Policy Act of 2005, signed into law August 2005, moves the beginning of DST from the first Sunday in April to the second Sunday in March. DST will now end the first Sunday in November instead of the last Sunday in October.

NEW! In 2007 Daylight Saving Time begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. This pattern will be followed by all provinces which observe daylight saving time and each province has amended their legislation to reflect this change. Previously, Canada had observed Daylight Saving Time from the first Sunday in April until the last Sunday in October.
