Most of B.C. to adopt daylight saving time permanently, Eby says

British Columbia will end clock changes after March 8, 2026, following 93% public support to improve health, reduce disruptions, and simplify scheduling, officials said.

  • On Monday, Premier David Eby and Attorney General Niki Sharma announced the province will permanently adopt daylight time, ending seasonal clock changes.
  • A 2019 provincial report found 93 per cent of residents preferred year‑round daylight time, with three‑quarters citing health and wellness concerns.
  • The government set a timetable giving residents eight months to prepare for Nov. 1, 2026, when clocks will now remain the same instead of turning back.
  • The province said the new zone will be called 'Pacific Time' following the government decision to stop switching clocks in B.C.
  • The government says this Sunday will be the last time British Columbians have to change their clocks, and March 8 will be the final spring forward.
