Border Services Changes Hours because B.C. Isn't Changing Its Clocks
The change will keep service hours aligned with U.S. ports of entry as British Columbia stays on year-round daylight time, CBSA said.
- On Nov. 1, the Canada Border Services Agency will adjust operating hours at nine British Columbia border crossings to align with neighbouring Washington State, which falls back one hour while the province maintains year-round daylight time.
- British Columbia's adoption of year-round daylight time prompted this adjustment, as the province will not move clocks back this fall, creating a time zone gap with the United States that necessitates synchronized border schedules.
- Nine crossings face schedule changes to ensure alignment: Aldergrove, Carson, Cascade, Chopaka, Fraser, Midway, Nelway, Pleasant Camp, and Waneta match seasonal operational shifts across the international border.
- The CBSA stated, "These adjustments in hours of operation will allow for better coordination between Canada and the U.S.," providing clarity for travellers and assisting when inadmissible individuals must return immediately to their country of origin.
- Synchronized hours begin at 2 a.m. on Nov. 1 and remain in place until March 14, 2027, when the United States springs forward; this ensures operational consistency throughout the winter season.

Hours changing at B.C. border entries ahead of potentially confusing time zone change
On Nov. 1, Washington State will fall back one hour, but B.C. will not, which has prompted the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) to adjust opening and closing hours at border entry points. In case you missed it, B.C. has established a new time zone code, PCT, and the province is done with yearly time changes. We previously published a story on how Bellingham residents were feeling about the time shift, which some who travel between regions su…
