Getting a jump on spring
Just like the European hare, we get a little more hop in our steps this time of year—and a bit more daylight as well. It's the second Sunday of March, when most Canadians and Americans 'spring forward,' setting their clocks ahead one hour in observance of daylight saving time (DST). Then on the first Sunday of November, we'll 'fall back' by turning our clocks back an hour.
