Alberta could very well be the same time year round as Saskatchewan come November.

Three-quarters of respondents to a recent government survey voted to scrap the Daylight Saving Time Act. The online survey was completed by over 13,500 Albertans.

Bill 203 seeks to remove the time change that takes place in the fall and employ Alberta Standard Time for 12 months of the year.

Since the provincial 1966 Time Act, Saskatchewan has been in the minority in Canada, using daylight-savings time year round.

If the bill is passed, the sun would appear to rise and set (based on the time of day) an hour later from fall to spring.

The potential change in legislation could have a positive effect on business between the two provinces. One gripe sometimes voiced - especially around the times of year when the clocks change in most parts of Canada that aren't Saskatchewan - is that it's hard for businesses in different time zones to stay on the same page.

Swift Current switched to using daylight saving time year round in 1972, though Lloydminster, sitting on the Alberta-Saskatchewan border, still sees its clocks change.
