Daylight Saving Time Begins - March 8
St. Patrick’s Day - March 17
Daylight Saving Time begins March 8th in most parts of Canada and the United States (typically on the second Sunday in March). Clocks “spring forward” one hour, bringing longer evening daylight. This time change may affect schedules and availability, so it’s helpful to keep it in mind when planning communications and customer support coverage.
St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated annually on March 17 and honors St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. Originally a religious feast day, it has grown into a global celebration of Irish culture, marked by wearing green, shamrocks, parades, and festive gatherings. While it is not a statutory holiday in most regions of Canada or the United States, it is widely recognized and celebrated in many communities.
We acknowledge with gratitude that we live, work, and gather on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples—specifically the Xwsepsum (Esquimalt), Lekwungen (Songhees), Sc’ianew (Beecher Bay), and the W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples, represented by the Tsartlip, Pauquachin, Tsawout, Tseycum, and Malahat Nations. We honour their enduring connection to this land and commit to meaningful reconciliation.
