A friendly reminder that Daylight Saving Time ends this coming Sunday at 2am, when clocks “fall back” one hour.

Your phone, tablet, and devices should automatically make this time change on Sunday, November 1st, at 2am. However, if you have any battery operated clocks or appliances with clocks in your home, these may need to be changed manually.

Helpful Tip: This is also a great time to check your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to ensure they are in proper working order and to change the batteries if required, and to make plans to have your winter driving tires installed as temperatures fall across the province.

Small actions can have a big impact on infection prevention.

Clean your hands regularly. Cover coughs and sneezes. Clean frequently touched surfaces and shared equippment. When you are unwell, take appropriate precautions to help protect the people around you.

Infection prevention doesn't happen because of one person, it happens when all of us make safe practices part of our everyday routines.

This National Infection Control Week, remember: infection prevention is powered by you.
