Dedicated Timezones for British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba and Surrounding Regions

STAGE: Design

Several Canadian regions have stopped changing their clocks and now stay on the same UTC offset all year. Planners running events in these regions need a timezone that matches local time, so event times display and convert correctly.

  • New timezones for British Columbia and Yukon, Alberta and the Northwest Territories, and Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario

  • Each one uses a fixed UTC offset with no daylight saving time, so times stay correct every year

  • Event times show correctly on your event pages, in the attendee app, in emails and in calendar files

  • Attendees see their own region's name automatically

Until these are available, use these timezones for events dated 01 November 2026 or later:

  • British Columbia, Yukon (UTC-7): (GMT-07:00) Arizona or (GMT-07:00) Mountain [Mexico], not Pacific [US & Canada]

  • Alberta, Northwest Territories (UTC-6): (GMT-06:00) Central America, Saskatchewan or Mexico, not Mountain [US & Canada]

  • Manitoba, Northwestern Ontario (UTC-5): (GMT-05:00) SA Pacific, not Central [US & Canada]

You can relabel these in Language Management so attendees see their region's name. Events dated before 01 November 2026 don't need any changes.
