Clock rules in Calgary
Calgary keeps CST (UTC−6) all year, like the whole of Alberta.
There is no daylight saving time; the last summer time here was in 2024.
tzdata also changed the abbreviation on November 1, 2026 (for example from PDT to MST) without moving the clocks. Older phones and browsers that have not received the 2026 tzdata update may still show the old abbreviation or, worse, fall back an hour: the clock on this page uses our own copy of tzdata and is not affected.
That is the summer offset Calgary kept when it stopped changing its clocks in 2026. tzdata has written it as CST since November 1, 2026, the abbreviation used elsewhere in North America for UTC−6 all year; before that, the same offset was MDT.
Local mean solar time at 114.09° W is UTC−7:36, so the clock runs 1 h 36 min ahead of the sun: it is highest at about 1:36 PM.
Calgary has kept the same clocks as Edmonton since at least 1970; the zone’s rules, coming changes and history are on the America/Edmonton page.
