British Columbia will stop switching time as the rest of Canada “falls back” an hour, starting this November, under a permanent daylight saving time decision announced in March 2026.
The Story
British Columbia has adopted permanent daylight saving time, a move announced by the provincial government in March 2026 that the source says makes 2026 the final year the province will “spring forward.”
With B.C. keeping the same clock while other parts of Canada revert, the source describes November as a period when time differences will shift for people scheduling across regions.
The source says Alberta and Manitoba will also adopt permanent daylight saving time. It adds that the Northwest Territories will similarly remain on daylight saving time, while Yukon stopped observing time changes in 2020 and Saskatchewan ended time changes in 1966.
The source frames November as a good time to keep time zone references handy for things like meetings and other cross-region scheduling, pointing readers to a “time zone cheat sheet” for checking local times across Canada.
