Time Change NCLGA Resolution

Yesterday - CKPG-TV interviewed Fraser-Fort George Regional District (RDFFG) Electoral Area 'C' Director Lara Beckett in regards to her proposed North Central Local Government Association (NCLGA) Time Change Resolution.  Watch the interview below:



The actual wording of the Resolution is:

WHEREAS the Province of BC has the authority to regulate time change and currently observes Pacific
Standard Time with an annual time change to Daylight Saving time but for certain areas of the North and
Southeast corners of the Province;

AND WHEREAS data supporting the occurrence of adverse health effects on individuals following the
annual time change and negating the energy savings argument continues to grow:

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the NCLGA and the UBCM lobby the Provincial Government to consider
discontinuing the annual time change within the Province of BC.

However - the decision of the RDFFG Board at their Feb 18th, 2016 meeting was not unanimous as RDFFG Alternate Director (and Prince George City Councillor) Garth Frizzell voted against submitting the Resolution to the 2016 NCLGA Convention. Meanwhile - this topic will be visited by the Pacific NorthWest Economic Region Group. Read more here
