Global News has learned the B.C. government is set to introduce permanent daylight saving time legislation tomorrow.
If passed, it will allow the province to put in place permanent daylight saving time as early as 2020.
More than 93 per cent of British Columbians who filled out the province's most popular public consultation of all time called for getting rid of season time changes.
The challenge for B.C. is getting Washington, Oregon and California on board over the next year.
Premier John Horgan has expressed interest in keeping the clocks consistent on the west coast, but American jurisdictions need U.S. congressional approval.
Clocks fall back early this Sunday morning - and maybe for the last time.
