Quick Summary

As of November 1, seasonal time changes in the Northwest Territories (N.W.T.) officially end, aligning the territory's clocks permanently with Alberta’s year-round daylight saving time. This decision was based on public feedback from a territorial government survey where more than 87% of respondents supported maintaining one consistent time zone. Premier R.J. Simpson stated that this change offers greater consistency for residents and aligns N.W.T.'s time with Alberta, while also affecting the relationship between N.W.T., Yukon, and Nunavut’s time zones differently throughout the year.

Story summary

As of Nov. 1, seasonal time changes officially end in the Northwest Territories (N.W.T.) following an earlier government announcement this year to adopt a single consistent time zone. On that date, N.W.T. residents won't turn back their clocks by one hour as they normally would during daylight saving time transitions. Over 87% of survey respondents supported maintaining a steady time zone. This change aligns the territory’s time with Alberta, which also moved to year-round daylight saving time in June and will see its adjustment take effect on the same day. The new time setting, called Northwest Territories Time, keeps N.W.T. one hour ahead of Yukon and one hour behind Iqaluit during winter, while Nunavut’s Kitikmeot region will be one hour behind N.W.T. over winter but remain on the same time in summer.
