Daylight time works year-round

Re: “For safety sake, end daylight time,” Letters, June 15

Pamela Brink is correct about the long summer nights not needing the extra one hour of sunlight. It’s the short winter daylight hours that are the problem.

As a retired school teacher I see the children go home from school close to dark and know there’s no outside play time.

If we stayed on daylight time year-round, we would get the light later each day. It would be safer for commuters driving home.

No need to change the clocks twice a year.

As one moves closer to the equator, it becomes less of a problem, as light and darkness becomes more equal from summer to winter.

My preference is to remain on daylight time year-round. Richard Asp, Wetaskiwin
