Overview

Time zone changes have been made across multiple Western Canadian provinces in 2026. We’ve updated our systems in accordance with new IANA rules to account for these time zone changes, ensuring a smooth transition on our platform.

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is used to coordinate and manage the core global identifiers that keep the internet working properly. It ensures that domain names, IP addresses, and protocol parameters remain unique and standardized across the entire world.

While provinces have adopted their own names for these zones, IANA recognized time zones are different. Please see the updated year-round time zones in the platform below:
