Virtually none of them ,had a recommendation before their Councils. "Being out of step with other municipalities will only cause con- fusion," he said, Piper also had a problem with the matter of daylight saving time. If safety really was an issue, he said, the Town should petition the That feeling quickly evaporated after several speakers convinced councillors that changing the date would foil the plans of residents' groups and simply cause undue confusion. For example, Ward 4 councillor Stephen Sparling. who made the motion to switch to Saturday only last week, changed his mind and said he was no longer convinced it was just a safety issue.
