The Time Zone Map
Made by Rossilite, LLC
Canada covers six time zones from Pacific (UTC-8) in British Columbia to Newfoundland (UTC-3:30), the only half-hour zone in North America. Mountain, Central, Eastern and Atlantic time fill the gap. Most of the country observes daylight saving time, but Saskatchewan stays on Central Standard Time all year, and Yukon has kept Mountain Standard Time year round since 2020.
Zoom in on the British Columbia and Alberta border, the Ontario and Manitoba border, the Quebec and Labrador border, or Nunavut to see how the zones split across provinces and territories rather than following their edges.
How many time zones are there? 38 different UTC offsets are in use today, from UTC-12 to UTC+14, but the IANA database tracks hundreds of named zones because regions with the same offset often follow different daylight saving rules. This map draws a border only where the clocks actually differ right now.
Where does the border data come from? The open timezone-boundary-builder project, which combines OpenStreetMap boundaries with the IANA time zone database. The map is rebuilt with every release.
Is it free? Yes. No ads, no account, and it runs in any modern browser on desktop and mobile.
