Most of us will be changing our clocks back one hour this weekend as we hit Daylight Savings Time.
Atikokan doesn’t follow suit, but the Mayor is now supporting a growing campaign to switch to Eastern Standard time on a full-time business.
The clocks in Atikokan, New Osnaburgh and Pickle Lake don’t move.
However, Dennis Brown says the hospital and local businesses have made good arguments for change.
Brown says he’s heard that being on different times have impacted various operations.
He notes if council supports the change, Atikokan will revert to the Eastern zone permanently next spring.
