DST ends in USA and Canada on 5-Nov-2017

Remember: Sunday, 5-Nov-2017

Daylight Saving Time (DST) ends in USA and Canada !!!

The term “spring forward – fall back” is meant to trigger your memory to set your clocks forward one hour in the spring at the start of DST, and one hour back in the fall when DST ends.

DST-1In most of the United States, Canada, and Mexico’s northern border cities when local daylight time is about to reach Sunday, 5-Nov-2017, 02:00h (2am) clocks are turned backward 1 hour to Sunday, 5-Nov- 2017, 01:00h (1am) local standard time instead!

Sunrise and sunset will be about 1 hour earlier on 5-Nov-2017 than the day before. There will be more light in the morning.

Is it Daylight Saving Time or Daylight Savings Time?

Burning Restrictions lifted for Season 2017

Wildfire Risk Season 2017 ended.
Burning restrictions are lifted as of 16-Oct-2017 until and including 14-Mar-2018.

During the fall/winter months from 16-Oct-2017 until and including 14-Mar-2018 brush fires are allowed 24 hours/day. It is no longer mandatory to consult the Burnsafe website before starting a fire.

However please use common sense when making brush fires by taking weather conditions into account. Even in winter months the soil can become fairly dry and also avoid fires on windy days!

Thank you!
