Permanent Daylight Saving Time

This week, the Province announced the adoption of permanent year-round daylight saving time after clocks shift forward an hour on Sunday, March 8, 2026. This means there will be no further time changes after that date and the transition to B.C.’s new time zone, Pacific time, will be complete.

If a district is considering amendments to its school calendar due to this change, please reach out to Tracie Carlson, Legislative Coordinator at (250) 387-8037 or educ.schoolcalendars@gov.bc.ca.
