Does Canada use daylight savings time?

Yes, Canada observes daylight saving time. It is crucial to remember, however, that DST is not used in all provinces and territories in Canada, and the start and finish dates of DST vary by location.

In Canada and the United States, daylight saving time is widely used, and only a few states/states or some regions adopt daylight saving time throughout the year without withdrawing or switching twice a year. Daylight saving time is not observed in the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and Yukon.

Daylight saving time in Canada begins at 2 a.m. local time on the second Sunday of March in most parts of Canada. On the first Sunday of November, daylight saving time zones return to standard time at 2 a.m. local time. Increase the clock by one hour when daylight saving time begins in Canada.

Turn back the clock an hour after daylight saving time ends.

Previously, Daylight Saving Time was observed in Canada from the first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October. Daylight Saving Time, however, now begins three weeks earlier on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November, according to legislation established in 2006.

This adjustment in Daylight Saving Time brought Canada's Daylight Saving Time schedule in line with that of the United States, which approved a sweeping energy bill that extended Daylight Saving Time similarly.
