This applies to customers in the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and Manitoba, and in the Northwest Territories.
If your business is anywhere in the US, or in Yukon, Saskatchewan, or Nunavut, nothing changes for you.Not sure which time zone your town is switching to? Some areas, like BC’s East Kootenay, Lloydminster, and northwestern Ontario, don’t follow their province. Check the town-by-town table in the help article before you switch.
What's changing
Starting November 1, 2026, these provinces stop changing their clocks. The US still falls back, so the Pacific, Mountain, and Central Time (US & Canada) time zones run an hour behind your clock from November 1 to March 14, 2027, even with “Canada” in the name.
What to do:
- Open the Time Zone Check page. Log in to Apptoto and go to https://www.apptoto.com/portal2/canadian_timezone_check. You can also reach it fromSettings > Contact Info, below Your Time Zone.
- Tell the page where your calendars are.If everything is in one province, pick British Columbia, Alberta, or Manitoba. If you have calendars in different provinces, chooseNo, they’re in different locations.
-
One province
: click Switch to {Province Name}
. Your account, every calendar, and every booking page with its own time zone move to the new time zone together.
-
Different locations
: set each one then click Save and switch
. Pick the province for your account, each calendar, and each booking page from the dropdowns. The page fills in its best guess from each one’s current time zone. “Same as your account” follows your account. “Somewhere else” leaves that calendar as it is.
- Update your calendar app timezone.Google Calendar and Outlook each have their own time zone setting, and it is setper user, not per calendar. Apptoto will tell you which users still need to update their time zone (in the yellow warning box), and which users have succesfully updated their time zones.You will need to update this in Google Calendar or Outlook. Apptoto cannot change this for you.
- Review the appointments Apptoto flags as possibly an hour off.For each appointment between November 1 and March 14 that looks wrong, the page shows the time it’s at now, the time it was probably meant for, and why. Check the ones that need moving and click "Move checked an hour earlier." Alternatively, you can check the ones that are already right and click "Leave checked as they are."Moved appointments will sync to Google Calendar or Outlook the same as if you edited them there.
IMPORTANT
: Additional appointments listed for review include recurring weekly appointments and appointments Apptoto cannot accurately judge. You will need to move these manually. What happens if you do nothing
If Apptoto or your calendar app stays on Pacific, Mountain, or Central Time, then between November 1 and March 14:
- Your booking pages offer times an hour off from your business hours. If you are open 9 am to 5 pm, your clients will see 10 am to 6 pm.
- Online bookings land on your calendar an hour earlier than the time the client picked.
- Reminders go out an hour later than you set them.
- Phones and computers that update themselves show appointments an hour later than your calendar app does.
Already using Arizona or Saskatchewan as a workaround?
Your times are right, and you don’t need to switch. Arizona is on the same clock as British Columbia from now on, and Saskatchewan matches Alberta.
