Vancouver is a city in Canada, in British Columbia, with a population of about 662,248. It uses the Pacific Standard Time time zone (IANA identifier America/Vancouver).
Vancouver does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC−7 all year round. The time difference with places that do change their clocks — such as most of Europe and North America — therefore shifts by one hour twice a year.
Other cities on the same clock include Phoenix.
Because Vancouver lies at 49.25° N, 123.12° W, the length of the day changes strongly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 16 h 15 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 8 h 11 min.
