About Daylight Savings in the US & Canada
Family & Friends , Fundraising Event
Ends: Nov 05, 2023
DESCRIPTION:
Daylight Savings Day for the United States, Bahamas, Canada, Cuba, Saint Pierre & Miquelon falls 2nd Sunday March (Spring Forward); 1st Sunday of November (Fall Back).
On this day we move the clock one hour ahead at 2AM in March or one hour back in November at 2AM in the morning on Sunday.
The saying, “spring forward, fall back” is a good way to remember. This works in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres as the seasons are reversed.
Benjamin Franklin was the first to propose daylight savings time in 1784. Modern DST was established in 1895. Throughout history there were several variations ranging from 30 minutes to two hours.
Not everyone observes DST, which can make setting appointments very challenging. The main purpose of DST is to make better use of daylight hours for farming, early morning activities (such as children walking to school in the light instead of dark) and saving energy.
The closer one lives to the North and South Pole, the longer the period of daylight in the summer months.
