CP NewsAlert: Premier Eby says B.C. will make daylight time permanent

By Canadian Press on March 2, 2026.

VICTORIA — British Columbians will adopt year-round daylight time, springing forward by one hour this Sunday for the last time.

Premier David Eby says this decision is about making life easier for families, reducing disruptions for businesses, and supporting a stable, thriving economy.

The decision means that B.C. will be on same time zone as the Yukon and will match Alberta from November to March, while it will remain one hour behind Washington state, Oregon and California during the winter months.

More coming.
