Don’t forget to ‘fall back’ this weekend!

By

VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – This is the weekend you get an extra hour of sleep as most of the country switches from Daylight Saving Time to Standard Time.

Before going to bed tonight (or if you’re still awake at 2 a.m.), turn your clocks and watches back one hour.

Despite the extra hour of sleep, ICBC warns there is a 10 per cent increase in crashes in the days following a time change

Some parts of Canada don’t observe the time change, including almost all of Saskatchewan.

The Insurance Bureau of Canada says it’s a good time of year to clean and test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

It might also be worthwhile to review your family’s emergency plan, have your fuel-burning appliances inspected by a trained professional, and check the chimney and vents.

With winter approaching, the IBC also recommends you make sure your car is in good working order by checking things like tire pressure and fluid levels.
