CANADIAN TIME ZONES



If you are confused by all the Canadian time zones, I hope these pages will help to reduce the confusion . . . . read on!

Canada encompasses six of the world's 24 time zones. The Province of Newfoundland & Labrador is 1/2 hour ahead of the other Atlantic Provinces.

Daylight Saving Time is in effect from the second Sunday in March, when the clocks in most of Canada are advanced by one hour, until the first Sunday in November.

The Province of Saskatchewan, however, does not observe Daylight Saving Time in the summer months and does not put their clocks forward during that time.

If you are traveling to Canada or phoning friends there, below are some of the local times across this country.


The Province of Newfoundland & Labrador is half an hour ahead of the other Maritime Provinces and are in the Newfoundland & Labrador Standard time zone

Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick are in the Atlantic Standard time zone

The Province of Quebec is in the Eastern Standard time zone

Most parts of Ontario are in the Eastern Standard time zone, the exception being the western part of the province which borders Manitoba

The Province of Manitoba is in the Central Standard time zone

The Province of Saskatchewan is in the Central Standard time zone

The Province of Alberta is in the Mountain Standard time zone

The Province of British Columbia is in the Pacific Standard time zone
