Geography : Canada  
Description : Canada has six time zones, which are regulated by provincial and territorial governments. In each time zone Standard or Daylight Saving time might be specified. For example, in Ontario, Eastern Standard Time is denoted as Coordinated Universal Time (‘UTC’) less 6 hours or Eastern Daylight Time as UTC 4h. In most regions in Canada, Daylight Savings Time begins on the first Sunday of April and ends on the last Sunday of October. In some parts of Canada, observed time practice differs from official legislated time. The time zones in DMTI Spatials time zone data are derived from provincial and territorial legislation and regulations that were in effect as of April 1, 2001 (Legislated Time Zones).
