Time Zones

Time Zones in Canada

Canada spans six times zones ranging from GMT-4 in Quebec in the east to GMT-8 in British Columbia in the west. For daylight saving, clocks are turned forward by an hour on the second Sunday in March and turned back on the first Sunday of November.

Canadian appliances operate on 110 volts (60Hz), which is identical to the US voltage. A universal adaptor is required for overseas electrical devices. Main wall sockets (or power outlets) and plugs for 110 volts are two parallel flat blades. If those sockets are different from the ones used in your country you will need a socket converter.
