Today marks the end of Daylight Saving Time and the beginning of Standard Time, unless you're in Saskatchewan.

Last night people around the world set their clocks back one hour to better match working hours and the decreasing hours of daylight.

However, since the adoption of the Saskatchewan Time Act in 1966, the province ignores the change, placing residents on Mountain Daylight Time during the summer and Central Standard Time in the winter.

Communities like Lloydminster which straddles the Alberta-Saskatchewan border, have adopted charters which allow them to observe the change.

The decision has always been controversial particularly for people in the agriculture industry or those with contacts in other provinces.

Standard Time remains in effect until the last Sunday in March.
