I'm delighted - is it one or two weeks ahead of the UK?

That was always my 'phew' moment in the UK, and to look ahead to my garden, among other things. I can honestly say I haven't really had any 'SAD' moments this winter - but I have had to discount March and April here in Alberta in the gardening calendar

We don't change the clocks at all, we change time zones. Bloody confusing at times.

Yep, spring is definately on the way, hound was chowing down on a couple of half dead gophers earlier. Nothing like watching a gopher trying to run away with half its body missing.

I knew about Fort St. John, Charlie Lake, Taylor and Dawson Creek all in northeastern BC, but I had no idea Creston didn't observe it either.

Neither does SK, we will be on mountain time then as of tomorrow and I agree with Inse it can be confusing. Especially when friends who live an hour away do change.
