Most western Canadians say ditching the time change was the "right move", according to a new Angus Reid Institute poll, Global News BC reported.

British Columbia, Alberta and Manitoba all dropped the time change this fall. The institute's poll looked at how residents are reacting to the change.

For people in Metro Vancouver, the finding speaks to a decision that now shapes daily routines in B.C., one of the three provinces that made the switch.

The Angus Reid Institute is the organization that conducted the poll.
