      I don’t understand, does that mean hockey games in winter will be *four hours* later out east, or *two*?

      Hopefully this forces the west coast US to get off its ass and do the same – though who are we kidding right?

      Wow. Surprising.

      I know Ontario just keeps yapping about it every 6 months when clocks go forward or back.

      Will the US West coast be doing the same? Otherwise this might cause massive issues when travelling.

      It doesn’t mention those living in mountain time at all. It’s just a small corner of the province, but are we switching to Pacific time or will we be our own tiny unique time zone for half the year?

      How the change will be made

      The Interpretation Amendment Act, which is the legal framework that enables the Province to adopt permanent DST, became law in 2019. At the time, government chose not to bring it into force in order to co-ordinate timing with neighbouring U.S. states in the same time zone.

      Recent actions from the U.S. have shifted how B.C. approaches decisions that merit alignment, including on time zones. Making this change now reflects the current preferences and needs of British Columbians, and helps ensure the province is well-positioned to thrive, even when circumstances across the border evolve.

      Regulation will bring the amendments into effect after Sunday, March 8, 2026.

      Government will work closely with organizations, small businesses, and public-sector partners between March and November 2026 to ensure a smooth, well-co-ordinated transition to permanent DST.

      Locations that observe mountain time

      There are a small number of communities in eastern parts of British Columbia that observe some form of mountain time instead of Pacific time. Those regions will not be affected by these changes. However, as a result of Pacific time no longer changing twice a year, many of these communities will be brought into greater alignment with the rest of British Columbia.

      For example, Dawson Creek, which observes mountain standard time year-round, will be on the same time as most other places in British Columbia in the winter and summer months. Whereas places like Cranbrook that observe mountain time, but switch between standard and daylight times, will be aligned with the rest of the province during in the winter months, but will be one hour ahead in the summer.

      I’m surprised by this in the sense that part of the reason for holding out was because of complications with other states or provinces.

      That’s the wrong one! Obviously changing the clocks needs to go, but stick with Standard Time and keep winter the same, otherwise kids will be waiting for the school bus in pitch black darkness.

      Wait until the middle of next winter you’re trying to get your kids out the door to school an hour before the sun is over the horizon.

      Shrug.
