Change your smoke and CO alarm batteries when you turn your clocks ahead

It’s that time of year when we lose one hour of sleep to gain one hour of sunshine. When you’re turning your clocks an hour forward this weekend on Sunday, March 13, be sure to also change the batteries in both your carbon monoxide (CO) and smoke alarms. As a general rule, it’s a good idea to change these alarm batteries every daylight savings – in the spring and in the fall.

As you plan your March Break activities, make sure supporting a local restaurant is on the to-do list! There are lots of delicious options available throughout the city. Whether you’re looking to enjoy your favourite neighbourhood eatery or try a new spot for the first time, the City of Vaughan is reminding you to #DineVaughanLocal.
