NEW! 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.
This change in Daylight Saving Time will keep Canada's Daylight Saving Time pattern consistent with the United States which enacted into law a broad energy bill that will extend Daylight Saving Time in the same manner. Canada uses six primary time zones. From east to west they are Newfoundland Time Zone, Atlantic Time Zone, Eastern Time, Central Time Zone, Mountain Time Zone, and the Pacific Time Zone.

Why do the clocks fall back or spring forward at 2AM?
Here are two answers:
First, this process is known as Daylight Savings Time, which affords most people more sunlight during the daylight hours.
Second, it takes place at 2AM, apparently, because there are fewer people awake at that hour, so the impact is less severe. For example, in the spring, there is no 2AM hour: from 1:59AM the next minute is 3AM. And in the fall there are two 2AM hours: from 2:59AM, the next minute is 2AM.
