Manitoba abandoning spring, fall clock changes

Carol Sanders 8 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 5:36 PM CDT

Time’s up for the time change in Manitoba.

Manitobans won’t be setting their clocks back an hour in November. The province has decided to permanently stay on daylight time after surveying residents on the twice annual clock adjustment.

“We heard from Manitobans loud and clear — no more changing the clocks in Manitoba,” Premier Wab Kinew said in a news release Thursday.

Most of the 72,000 votes submitted in an online EngageMB survey — 92 per cent — said they would like to see the practice end. The survey asked if they preferred earlier sunrises in winter with standard time or the later sunsets in summer with daylight time. More than half of survey participants (58 per cent) indicated a preference to stay on permanent daylight time; 34 per cent voted to eliminate the time change but stay on standard time.

Efficiency matters

Re: A development infused with personal memory, Think Tank, Sept. 15

Columnist Brent Bellamy mentions “a focus on high energy efficiency and near-zero carbon emissions over the life of the building.”

I hope this means geothermal heating, which is not specifically mentioned. This environmentally friendly feature is highly touted and is supposedly being employed in the new Southwood Circle development. This project at The Forks would also seem to be a prime candidate for the same.

Quilt tradition from Underground Railroad period big part of new exhibition

Conrad Sweatman 6 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

Long before she became a professional quilter, Melinda Clayton Patterson used to watch her mother make quilts from clothing scraps and cardboard templates.

“I came from a family of 14 kids, so going to whatever the store was back then, K-Mart or Woolworth, to buy quilts or blankets for 14 kids was just not feasible because the people were not wealthy,” she says.

“Quilts were not viewed as art. But when I came to Winnipeg, I started taking quilting seriously in my 30s … the heritage came later.”

Today, the 61-year-old native of East Preston, N.S., lives in Winnipeg, stitching together stories of her Black Loyalist heritage and Preston’s foundational role in the birth of Canadian Black culture.
