Canada Time Zones 2027

Colour is the UTC offset, so the same colour means the same clock on both maps. Hatched areas still change clocks; everything else is fixed year-round. New from Nov 1, 2026: BC, Alberta, NWT, Manitoba and northwestern Ontario stopped falling back.

Winter lines up three ways. Yukon and BC share UTC−7; Alberta, Saskatchewan and NWT share UTC−6; Manitoba matches Ontario and Quebec at UTC−5 until March 14.

Still pending. Nunavut's Kitikmeot and Kivalliq regions are reviewing permanent time, Nunavik is targeting November 2027 to stop changing clocks, and Ontario's permanent-DST law only triggers if Quebec and New York act. None of these is in force for 2027 yet.

Map detail. Boundaries come from the IANA timezone polygons, simplified for this scale. Very local exceptions (Creighton SK, individual Kootenay Lake communities) are not drawn.
