Residents in Niverville, Manitoba, are moving their clocks forward by one hour today, March 8, 2026, to mark the start of daylight time. This change means people will have more light in the evening but one less hour of sleep this morning.
Manitoba Municipal and Northern Relations is reminding everyone in the province to check their home and vehicle clocks. It is important to update any manual clocks and watches to avoid being late for work and school on Monday morning.
This province-wide shift is required by the Official Time Act, which says daylight time starts on the second Sunday in March each year. The time change will remain in place until the first Sunday in November.
Provincial officials note that the transition can impact morning routines and the amount of light available during the day. Residents should adjust their daily habits to stay safe while commuting in the new morning conditions.
