Whereas the Province of BC has the authority to regulate time change and currently observes Pacific Standard Time with an annual time change to Daylight Savings time but for certain areas of the north and southeast corners of the province; And whereas data supporting the occurrence of adverse health effects on individuals following the annual time change and negating the energy savings argument continues to grow: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM request the provincial government to consider discontinuing the annual time change within the Province of BC.
