Canada encompasses six of the world's 24 time zones. From east to west, they are: Newfoundland Time Zone, Atlantic Time Zone, Eastern Time Zone, Central Time Zone, Mountain Time Zone and Pacific Time Zone. Some provinces and territories encompass two or even three time zones within their borders. View the interactive map to show the six Canadian time zones as well as current times in all zones.
Pacific Time, Canada’s westernmost time zone, is 8 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time during the observance of Standard Time; it is 7 hours behind during Daylight Saving Time. The easternmost time zone is Newfoundland Time, which is 4-1/2 hours ahead of Pacific Time.
Daylight Saving Time
Daylight Saving Time is in effect in Canada from the second Sunday of March to the first Sunday of November. For information on the start and end of Daylight Saving Time across the provinces and territories, visit the National Research Council website.
