Quick Summary

Ontario's northwest region will end twice-annual clock changes and adopt permanent daylight time, aligning with Manitoba’s decision to remain on Central Daylight Time year-round. Indigenous Affairs Minister Greg Rickford announced that regulatory changes under the Time Act would take effect on Nov. 1, allowing areas west of the 90th meridian to synchronize their clocks with Manitoba, which is one hour ahead of Saskatchewan and the other Prairie provinces during standard time.

Story summary

Ontario is set to implement permanent daylight time in its northwest region starting November 1, 2026, aligning it with Manitoba. This decision follows a similar move by Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew, who announced last month that his province would cease twice-annual clock changes and stay on daylight time year-round in the central time zone, leaving Manitoba one hour ahead of other Prairie provinces. Indigenous Affairs Minister Greg Rickford says there is broad support among municipalities, First Nations, and businesses for this change to ensure consistency with Manitoba. The adjustment aims to avoid confusion for communities situated along shared borders and in overlapping time zones.
