Time zones in Canada
The Canadian Sir Sandford Fleming first proposed time zones for the entire world in 1876, and Canada, being a continental country is covered coast to coast with multiple zones. Quebec uses the 24-hour clock system. Daylight Savings Time, when clocks are moved forward by one hour, is observed in most of the country from 2AM on the second Sunday in March until 2AM on the second Sunday in November; during this time, for example, British Columbia is observing GMT-7 while Alberta is observing GMT-6.
GMT-8 Pacific Time (Yukon, British Columbia)
GMT-7 Mountain Time (Alberta, Northwest Territories, Nunavut)
GMT-6 Central Time (Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario)
GMT-5 Eastern Time (Ontario, Quebec)
GMT-4 Atlantic Time (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island)
GMT-3.5 Newfoundland Time (Newfoundland and Labrador)
