⭐ Core Definition: Daylight saving time in Canada

In Canada, daylight saving time (DST) is observed in nine of the country's ten provinces and two of its three territories—though with exceptions in parts of several provinces and Nunavut.

Under the Canadian Constitution, laws related to timekeeping are a provincial and territorial matter. Most of Saskatchewan, despite geographically being in the Mountain Time Zone, observes year-round Central Standard Time (CST). This results in the province effectively being on year-round daylight saving time. In 2020, Yukon abandoned seasonal time change and moved to permanently observe year-round Mountain Standard Time (MST).

👉 Daylight saving time in Canada in the context of Daylight saving time

Daylight saving time (DST), also referred to as daylight savings time, daylight time (United States and Canada), or summer time (United Kingdom, European Union, and others), is the practice of advancing clocks to make better use of the longer daylight available during summer so that darkness falls at a later clock time. The standard implementation of DST is to set clocks forward by one hour in spring or late winter, and to set clocks back by one hour to standard time in the autumn (or fall in North American English, hence the mnemonic: "spring forward and fall back").

In several countries, the number of weeks when DST is observed is much longer than the number devoted to standard time.
