Turning back our clocks allows us to gain an extra hour of daylight in the morning, making our drive to work a lot brighter.
The Frequency and Time Group at the NRC Institute for National Measurement Standards is responsible for official timekeeping in Canada. Visit the NRC-INMS website to learn more about the institute's metrologists who satisfy precise time requirements using their primary cesium atomic clocks.
The NRC-INMS website provides a boundary map of Canada's time zones and lists exact times for each province to move to Standard Time or begin Daylight Saving Time.
