About the time in Vancouver

Vancouver is a city in Canada. It uses the America/Vancouver time zone, which is currently UTC-7 — that is, -7 hours from Coordinated Universal Time. Vancouver observes daylight saving time, so its UTC offset shifts by one hour between summer and winter.

Compared with other major cities right now, Vancouver is 3 hours behind of New York and 8 hours behind of London. The table above updates live, so the differences you see always reflect current daylight saving rules on both sides.
