About Vancouver
Vancouver is the largest city in British Columbia and Canada's main Pacific port, handling much of the country's trade with Asia. Surrounded by mountains and water, it is known for outdoor life, Stanley Park and a large film and television industry that has earned it the nickname Hollywood North.
British Columbia stopped changing its clocks in 2026: since 8 March 2026 the province stays on UTC−7 all year, still called Pacific time. In summer Vancouver has the same time as Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles; in winter, when the US West Coast falls back to UTC−8, Vancouver is one hour ahead of them. It is two hours behind Toronto and Montreal in winter and three hours behind in summer.
