Add batteries to your shopping list this week. A friendly reminder that #DaylightSavingTime starts this weekend. When you change your clocks, remember to also change the batteries in all the smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in your home. Smoke alarms save lives! #Toronto #safety

[City of Toronto 🇨🇦 @cityoftoronto]

Daylight Saving Time begins this Sunday, March 8. ⏰
Remember to set your clocks forward one hour before going to bed on Saturday night.

This is also a good time to:
👉 Test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms
👉Replace alarm batteries if needed
👉 Review and refresh your household emergency kit

If you’re changing batteries, remember: batteries must never go in the garbage or Blue Bin. They can spark fires in collection trucks and at waste facilities.

Learn how to safely dispose of batteries and other household hazardous waste:
