British Columbia will adopt year-round daylight saving time, the western Canadian province has announced.
The coming one-hour clock change on 8 March 2026 will be the last one for the province, meaning the next time change scheduled for 1 November will be eliminated as British Columbia (BC) transitions to a year-round daylight savings time.
The new time zone is intended to reduce disruptions for families and provide an extra hour of evening light during winter months, according to the office of Premier David Eby.
Eby said on Monday constituents have made it clear that seasonal time changes "do not work for them".
"This decision isn't just about clocks. It's about making life easier for families, reducing disruptions for businesses and supporting a stable, thriving economy," he said in a statement.
