Show Notes
British Columbias new permanent Pacific daylight time is causing a stir with sundials, as they now read one hour behind our clocks year-round. Victoria sundial expert Steve Lelievre explains the challenge of fixing them, as sundials are tuned to their spot in the time zone. The twenty-foot-wide sundial at Ogden Point and the vertical one at Christ Church Cathedral are among those affected, with plans for signs to note the hour difference. Meanwhile, Vernon Miles, a great-great-nephew of daylight time inventor William Willett, prefers standard time. As sundials maintain their solar rhythm, expect more plaques and chats to bridge the gap between history and our clocks.
