As the saying goes, spring forward, fall back…
Winter is only weeks away and freezing cold nights aren’t the only major change winter brings. Sunrise and sunset will be an hour earlier so that there’s more light in the morning.
Daylight savings time will end with a “fall back” to standard time on Sunday November 6, at 2 a.m.
“Daylight Savings Time” is a way of making better use of the daylight in the evenings by setting the clocks forward one hour during the longer days of summer, and back again in the fall.
So, don’t forget to turn back your clocks this weekend and enjoy that extra hour of sleep Saturday night!

2016 Leaf & Pumpkin Composting Program
This year’s Leaf & Pumpkin Composting Program will run from Saturday September 24 to Sunday November 6, 2016.
During this program residents can recycle their bagged leaves and pumpkins by taking them to a leaf and pumpkin composting drop-off location. Composting leaves and pumpkins is an easy way to keep material out of the landfills and is one of the many ways people can reduce waste, reuse and recycle.
Brown bags are best!
Residents are encouraged to use paper yard waste bags, available at many local yard and garden retailers. They are:
1. Better for the environment
Because these bags are made of paper, they are completely compostable along with the leaves and pumpkins, leaving no waste behind. Plastic bags are not compostable and are unfit for recycling after the contents are removed, so all that plastic ends up in the landfill.
2. More efficient
City workers can put paper yard waste bags straight into the compost rows without the additional step of opening the bags and removing the contents.
Seasonal drop-off locations have been set up around Calgary. Drop-off Locations »
