Manitoba’s premier signed a proclamation on September 25, 2026 that terminates the province’s routine of adjusting clocks each year for daylight‑saving time. The declaration, issued by the Manitoba provincial government, means that the province will no longer move clocks forward in spring or backward in autumn, ending the annual time‑change practice that has been observed for decades.
The proclamation was presented as an official government measure, signalling a shift in how Manitoba will handle its timekeeping going forward. By removing the requirement to change clocks, the province joins a growing number of jurisdictions that have reconsidered the benefits and drawbacks of the bi‑annual shift. While the announcement does not specify a new standard time, it makes clear that Manitoba will maintain a single, consistent time throughout the year, eliminating the need for residents and businesses to reset schedules twice annually.
Officials involved in the signing emphasized that the decision reflects a desire for stability and predictability in daily life. The move is expected to affect everything from school start times to transportation timetables, as all sectors will operate on a uniform clock without the customary spring‑forward and fall‑back adjustments. The proclamation also outlines the administrative steps required to implement the change, ensuring that government agencies, public services, and private entities are informed of the new permanent time arrangement.
The ending of daylight‑saving clock changes in Manitoba is now formalized through the signed proclamation, marking the conclusion of a practice that has historically required citizens to modify their routines twice each year. As the province moves forward under this new timetable, residents can anticipate a consistent schedule year‑round, free from the bi‑annual clock shifts that previously dictated the seasonal rhythm of daily activities.
The proclamation stands as a definitive policy shift, and its implementation will be observed by Manitobans as the province settles into a single, unchanging time framework for the foreseeable future.
