Good to know about the time in Canada

Canada has six time zones, from Newfoundland, which is offset by half an hour from Atlantic Time, to the Pacific. Most provinces put their clocks forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November, like the United States. Saskatchewan and Yukon do not change their clocks.

Quebec follows Eastern Time almost entirely, like Ontario: Montreal is 6 hours behind Paris most of the year. As North America and Europe do not change their clocks on the same dates, the difference changes for a few weeks each year, in March and at the end of October.
