In 2007 Daylight Saving Time begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. This pattern will be followed by all provinces which observe daylight saving time and each province has amended their legislation to reflect this change.
Previously, Canada had observed Daylight Saving Time from the first Sunday in April until the last Sunday in October.
