PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
Beginning November 1, 2026, most of B.C. will remain on Pacific daylight time (UTC-7) year-round. During the transition, some calendar applications may display meetings scheduled after November 1 one hour earlier or later than intended.
AFFECTED SYSTEMS / VERSIONS / USERS
- Meetings after November 1 may display differently across calendar applications and devices.
- Meetings involving participants outside B.C. may be particularly affected.
WORKAROUND
- Check the time of important meetings scheduled after November 1, particularly those involving participants outside B.C.
- Avoid creating or changing non-essential recurring meetings extending beyond November 1 until application updates are available.
- Consider including the intended B.C. meeting time in the subject line for important meetings.
- If a meeting time appears incorrect, compare the meeting across Outlook, Outlook on the Web (OWA), or Microsoft Teams before changing it.
- Do not manually change your device's time zone to correct meeting times.
- If the discrepancy remains, contact the IT Service Desk and provide the meeting details and screenshots showing the different times.
