Justice Minister Ross Landry is reminding people to set their clocks ahead one hour at 2 a.m., or Saturday evening before they go to bed.

This is also a good time to clean dryer vents to prevent fires, and change batteries in smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. Smoke detectors should be tested monthly and replaced every 10 years.
Halifax Regional Fire and Emergency reminds residents that only working smoke alarms save lives.
