On to Christmas

  Veterans Day  2024, Merritt BC

We remember

TGIF -Fall back

Time change is coming, on November the 3rd 2024,1am local time.

Pacific time will fall back to standard time from Daylight time  for most of us in most parts of BC. Some areas do not change and are already on standard time such as all of Saskatchewan and the Yukon, parts of BC and pockets on the eastern coast, check your local area.

Take time to adjust

Always continue your diligence for safety when things like driving a routine route suddenly are seen in a different light than the previous day.

In Canada, March typically marks the transition from winter to spring. The popular phrase “March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb” is often used to describe this transition, suggesting that the month starts with harsh, winter-like conditions and ends with milder, spring-like weather. This is not specific to Canada alone, but a common theme in many regions with distinct seasonal changes.
