Time change Sunday, November 2
We are changing to winter time this Sunday, the same day as the municipal election's Polling Day! Don't forget to turn the clocks back during the night of Saturday November 1 to Sunday November 2: at 2 a.m. on Sunday morning, the time will be 1 a.m. And the polling station will open at 10 a.m. on the new time!
Good news: you will gain an hour of sleep and more clarity in the morning!
It’s also time to change the batteries in your smoke alarms!
The Public Safety Department would like to take this opportunity to remind you of the precautions to take with your smoke detectors:
Change the batteries in your smoke alarms every 6 months (when the clocks change is a good time to remember to do this!). During the year, if your alarm emits an intermittent sound signal, replace the batteries. Choose long-life batteries such as lithium batteries, or use rechargeable batteries only if they are recommended by the device manufacturer. Remember to replace the batteries in your smoke detectors when you move into a new home, and never paint over smoke detectors. Smoke detectors have a limited lifespan: you should replace them every 10 years.
