A cherished autumn ritual is almost here, bringing the gift of an extra hour right to your weekend. For those planning to head out to a Halloween party in the city, it couldn’t come at a better time!
For Torontonians, the end of Daylight Saving Time is a familiar tradition, and one of the clearest signs that winter is on its way.
Get ready to watch the clocks “fall back.” This Sunday, November 2, at exactly 2:00 a.m., time will magically rewind to 1:00 a.m., officially ending Daylight Saving Time for the year.
The main event is, of course, that glorious extra hour of sleep. Whether you spend it tucked under the covers, grabbing an early coffee, or just enjoying a longer weekend morning, the bonus hour is a welcome treat for all.
This extra hour of morning light does come with a trade-off, but it’s one we all expect. Sunsets will now arrive noticeably earlier, blanketing the city in darkness just as the evening commute begins. It’s the perfect excuse to embrace the dusk, switch on the string lights, and curl up indoors.
While most of our digital devices and smartphones will update themselves, you’ll want to remember to set any manual clocks (like on your stove or in your car) back an hour before you head to bed this Saturday night.
Get ready to enjoy that extra 60 minutes, Toronto, and welcome the official start of cozy season.
