Next year Nunavik region will permanently move to Daylight Saving Time, scrapping seasonal time changes
Starting next year (2026), Nunavik will stay permanently on daylight time - while the rest of Quebec has no plans to do the same, yet.
The change means that once Nunavimmiut switch to daylight time next March, there will be no more seasonal time changes to "spring forward" or "fall back."
Earlier this year, Makivvik, the organization representing Inuit in Nunavik, launched a survey to hear people's thoughts about eliminating the biannual time change in the region.
"This practice, introduced to save energy and extend daylight hours during summer, has raised questions about its relevance and impact on our region today," Makivvik stated in a social media post in January.
The organization has not publicized the results of the survey, but confirmed that last weekend would be the last time the region would sets its clocks back in the fall.
