Northwest Territories Joins Alberta in Year-Round DST

0:00It's April 21st. This is Calgary News today, powered by AI. Northwest Territories premiere. RJ Simpson just announced they're dropping those annoying twice a year clock changes following right behind Alberta. Both spots share the same time zone and they'll switch to year round daylight saving time so folks won't have to mess with their clocks anymore. Earlier this week Alberta said they'd table legislation to make it permanent. They try to referendum on this five years back but it failed by a super close margin just a hair to narrow to pass. Meanwhile, British Columbia jumped on the bandwagon recently which lit a fire under Alberta to finally commit. NWT residents have backed the idea for years so Simpson says thinking up now just makes total sense. To pull this off smoothly, the Territories teaming up with neighboring areas and industries right away. No more waiting around since Alberta's leading the charge. Expect that transition work to kick off soon, keeping everything in harmony across the region.
