Local time is based on time zone and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Coordinated Universal Time(UTC) has no offset from Coordinated Universal(UTC) Time.UTC-08:00 Pacific Time Zone (Pacific Standard Time) covers most of British Columbia (BC).UTC-07:00 Mountain Time Zone comprises wholly Alberta (AB) and Northwest Territories (NT), also the western part of Nunavut (NU), the small exception in Saskatchewan (SK), the eastern and southeastern districts of British Columbia (BC).UTC-06:00 Central Time Zone includes entire Manitoba (MB), Saskatchewan (SK) with small exception and quite a big piece of Nunavut (NU). In North America, Pacific Time shares a border with Mountain Time (MT) in the east.UTC-05:00 Eastern Time Zone encompasses the eastern part of Nunavut (NU), most of Ontario (ON) and Quebec (QC) provinces.UTC-04:00 Atlantic Time Zone comprises most of Labrador and three other provinces - New Brunswick (NB), Nova Scotia (NS), Prince Edward Island (PE).UTC-03:30 Newfoundland Time Zone includes the entire island of Newfoundland and the southeastern part of the Labrador region.Legally all matters concerning local time are officially regulated by the provincial legislation and decisions of the municipalities, that's why in practice many exceptions apply in some provinces. In MST, this will be a usual working time of between 9:00 am and 11:00 am. If you are in UTC, the most convenient time to accommodate all parties is between 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm for a conference call or meeting. There are 6 standard time zones in Canada, and 4 of them are the same as in the USA. When planning a call between UTC and MST, you need to consider time difference between these time zones.
