From their media release summary:
* B.C. will adopt permanent, year-round daylight saving time after clocks shift forward an hour on Sunday, March 8, 2026
* People and businesses will have eight months to prepare for the elimination of the next time change, previously scheduled for Nov. 1, 2026
* Eliminating twice-yearly time changes reduces disruptions for families, simplifies scheduling and provides an extra hour of evening light during the winter months
Some quick facts:
* B.C.â(TM)s new time zone, Pacific time, will be aligned with the Yukon year round.
* From November until March annually, Pacific time will match Alberta and other regions observing mountain standard time.
And of interest to the wider North American reader:
"From March until November every year, Pacific time will align with California, Washington, Oregon and other Pacific daylight time jurisdictions.
Neighbour jurisdictions like Washington, Oregon and California are all in the process of creating or enacting similar legislation."
