Starting Sunday, November 1st, British Columbia—including Vancouver Island and Greater Victoria—will stay on daylight saving time year-round, ending seasonal clock changes until March 2027. In the US, West Coast spots like Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and LA, plus Vegas, will be an hour behind Victoria during the winter. Meanwhile, Denver, Salt Lake City, and Phoenix will match BC’s time, and East Coast cities like New York, Orlando, and Miami will be two hours ahead instead of three.
Across Canada, the Yukon will stay on Victoria’s time, while Saskatchewan and the now year-round provinces of Alberta and Manitoba will be fixed one hour ahead (Calgary, Edmonton, and Regina) and two hours ahead (Winnipeg). Since eastern provinces are still changing their clocks, Victoria’s time difference will shrink by an hour until March—putting Ontario (Toronto and Ottawa) and Quebec two hours ahead, the Maritimes three hours ahead, and Newfoundland three and a half hours ahead.
