TL;DR
Daylight Saving Time (DST) in 2025 starts on March 9 in most areas of Canada, where clocks will spring forward one hour. Many regions will experience longer daylight in the evenings, which can benefit recreation and reduce energy use. However, there are ongoing debates about the health impacts and effectiveness of shifting time. Some advocate for permanently adopting standard time, citing health benefits, while others prefer DST for extended daylight hours.
