WINNIPEG — The Manitoba government has launched an online survey regarding the potential end of seasonal time changes.
The survey asks people whether they want to have year-round standard time, year-round daylight time, or keep the current system which sees clocks adjusted in March and November.

The survey also points to a study in the United States that found switching to year-round standard time offers more significant health benefits.
Under year-round standard time, sunrises and sunsets in summer would be earlier than they are now.
Premier Wab Kinew has said in recent months that the tradition of switching clocks is likely coming to an end, but said he would consult the public first.
Kinew has also said that if Maniotba adopts year-round standard time, it would put the province on the same time as Saskatchewan and Alberta.
