Residents of Newfoundland and Labrador are reminded that Daylight Saving Time ends this weekend.
At 2 a.m. Sunday, clocks should be turned back one hour.
When adjusting clocks, residents are encouraged to take the opportunity to change the batteries in smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.
The Department of Justice and Public Safety advises that smoke alarms are required to be installed in the following areas of a residence:
On every level of your home, including the basement; in every bedroom; and in the hallway or room outside of every bedroom or separate sleeping area.
It is recommended that households or cabins that have a wood, oil or propane fuel-fired appliance also have a carbon monoxide detector installed on each level of the structure.
