Canada's time-zone shift leaves some Outlook meetings needing a check

Parts of British Columbia, Alberta and Manitoba stopped observing seasonal clock changes on Nov. 1, 2026, Carly Page reported for The Register. The affected areas remain at UTC-07:00, UTC-06:00 and UTC-05:00, respectively.

Existing Outlook calendar entries do not automatically move when users switch to the new Canadian time zones, The Register reports. Meetings scheduled after Nov. 1 could therefore be an hour off. The report says Microsoft advises users to change their Outlook calendar time zone and update upcoming entries; only the organizer can change a meeting involving other people. For recurring meetings, resets occurrences that were previously moved, which then have to be recreated.
