On November 1, most of British Columbia will not change its clocks. Washington, Oregon and California will.
From November 1, 2026 until March 14, 2027, Vancouver will be one hour ahead of Seattle and Los Angeles. A standing 9 a.m. call in Vancouver is 8 a.m. for your U.S. counterparts.
The part that catches businesses is quieter: devices and calendar systems still set to the old Pacific rules may show appointments an hour off. B.C. ended seasonal time changes on March 8, 2026, and now sits at a fixed UTC-7, but an operating system update and the meetings already in your calendar are two different problems.
Before November 1, update and restart your devices, set (UTC-07:00) Pacific Time (British Columbia) in Windows and Outlook, and review any recurring meetings that continue past that date, especially those with U.S. participants.
