Vancouver Coastal Health is warning that the morning commute will be darker than usual, and that the change could discourage people from walking or biking to school or work, Global News BC reported.

The warning comes as B.C. scraps the time change. Experts are also cautioning about the risks of the move, according to the same report.

For Vancouver residents who get to class or the office on foot or by bike, the health authority's message speaks directly to the start of their day. The warning singles out the morning trip, not the evening one.
