Should We Stop Changing the Clocks? It’s About More Than Convenience
… What We Should Measure Going Forward
If provinces move to permanent daylight saving time, they should not treat the decision as finished. They should commit to gathering evidence afterward, especially on how darker winter mornings affect students, families, and workers.
School boards, public-health units, and provincial ministries could track:
Absenteeism and late arrivals, particularly during the darkest weeks of winter.
Student alertness, fatigue, and well-being, using anonymous staff, parent, and student feedback.
Traffic and pedestrian safety around schools, bus stops, and rural routes.
Winter road-safety data, including collisions during morning and afternoon commuting periods, pedestrian and cyclist incidents, school-zone incidents, and crashes involving snow, slush, or ice.
Effects on adolescents, whose sleep patterns already shift later and who may be especially vulnerable to early, dark morning commutes.
Impacts on shift workers, outdoor workers, and families with early childcare or work routines.
Before Everyone Runs Out the Door… One question. One connection.
Years ago, someone shared a simple family tradition with me that I’ve never forgotten.
Every morning, before everyone heads out the door, each person answers one question:
“What is one thing you’re looking forward to today?”
Everyone answers.
Not just the kids.
The adults too.
Maybe it’s something at school. Maybe it’s seeing a friend. Maybe it’s a meeting. Maybe it’s recess.
Then everyone heads out the door.
But the conversation doesn’t end there.
At dinner, they ask the follow-up:
“How did that thing you were looking forward to go?”
Maybe it went wonderfully. Maybe it didn’t happen. Maybe it was a complete disaster.
And that’s okay.
Everything is on the table.
I love this simple tradition because it isn’t really about the question.
It’s about what the question creates. It creates a reason to talk.
It tells children:
What happens in your day matters to me.

TRANSCRIPT OF SONIA DONG | WHAT WE FOCUS ON GROWS … FROM CRISIS TO CREATING A FASION REVOLUTION!
While greaving the passing of Henkaa's CEO and dear who was also a dear friend, Sonia was forced to find her footing as a leader while the pandemic hit full force. Sonia is now an author, co-owner, and managing director at Henkaa, creating a fashion revolution where one-time-use special occasion dresses and tops become a thing of the past, and where body-positive, size-inclusive clothing that journeys with women and girls through all seasons of life becomes the norm—rather than the exception. Henkaa donates 1% of proceeds to charities supporting girls and women to reach their fullest potential. What you focus on grows! Key points in our conversation include:
💥 The struggles of perfectionism.
💥 Taking care of ourselves in times of loss.
💥 Mentoring and transition planning for small businesses
💥 The power of practicing gratitude and the impact it has on our children's emotional well-being.
