Canada’s time zones get more complicated as Manitoba ends clock changes
Manitoba ends daylight saving time, joining provinces that keep one time year-round See where Ontario, B.C. and other regions still differ as Canada’s time map shifts
Manitoba has become the latest province to stop switching between daylight and standard time, joining British Columbia, Alberta, the Northwest Territories, Yukon and Saskatchewan in moving away from semiannual clock changes.
The change creates a small timezone oddity in northwestern Ontario. Areas such as Kenora, which already follow Manitoba time, will be one hour behind Thunder Bay to the east and one hour behind Winnipeg to the west during the winter.
Other parts of Canada remain on different schedules. The Kootenay region in southeastern B.C. stays aligned with Alberta, Labrador uses Atlantic time, and Nunavut spans three time zones. Ontario passed a law in 2020 to end clock changes as well, but only if Quebec and New York make similar moves.
