Canada uses UTC-3,5 a UTC-8 as its standard time across 23 IANA zones. Clocks move forward in summer for daylight saving time, so the local offset alternates seasonally around the UTC−5 standard. Times on this page are computed in your browser from the IANA time zone database, so they always match the real current time in Canada.
