BC
Time Zones & Telephone Area Codes
Time
Zones
Most
of British Columbia is on Pacific Standard Time,
except for a small portion of the north east corner
and the south east corner. These two areas are on
Mountain Standard Time.
Like
most regions of North America, B.C. uses Daylight
Saving Time during part of the year. This means
that we change our clocks every fall and spring.
In the fall, the clocks go back an hour and in the
spring clocks go ahead an hour. Fall back and spring
ahead, that's really all one needs to remember.
Telephone Area Codes
B.C.
has two telephone area codes. They are 604 and 250.
Most of 604 number pertains to the Vancouver, Coast
and Mountains region (Vancouver/Southwestern BC).
All of the other tourism regions are the 250 number.
