Clocks across Canada will "fall back" soon as daylight saving time ends.
That means the sunsets will be early once the time changes, and happen even earlier through the winter season.
Daylight saving time, which is also commonly known as DST, ends on Sunday, November 2, in Canada.
When it's supposed to be 2 a.m. on Sunday, the clocks will "fall back" to 1 a.m. instead.
The end of daylight saving time in Canada happens in most parts of the country.
But some places don't change the clocks because they're on a standard time throughout the year.
All of Yukon, most of Saskatchewan, some areas in B.C., Southampton Island in Nunavut, and certain communities in eastern Quebec don't "fall back" or "spring forward" each year.
For the rest of the country, the time change means sunsets will be earlier.
