Rule Changes

In office; led the decision to activate the 2019 legislation

British Columbia sprung its clocks forward on March 8, 2026, for the last time. When November arrives, they will not fall back. The province of five million people adopted permanent daylight saving time at UTC-7, becoming the first major North American jurisdiction to lock its clocks in place since Arizona and Hawaii opted out of clock changes in the late 1960s.

Tumbler Ridge school shooting

Force in Play

Canada had not experienced a school shooting of this magnitude in 37 years. On February 10, 2026, an 18-year-old former student killed two family members at a home in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, then attacked the local secondary school, leaving nine people dead including the shooter and 27 wounded. Police arrived within two minutes of the first call; by then, the attack was already over.
