PORTLAND, Ore. — For the first time ever, the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Alberta are no longer going to move their clocks forward or back one hour, electing to stay on permanent Daylight Saving Time. For B.C. they’ll call it simply Pacific Time; Alberta is going with permanent Alberta Time.
Amtrak Cascades and Wash Dot want passengers to be aware that trips across the border will now reflect the new arrival times even though the actual travel time will not change. They would like people to treat it like an east – west trip through different time zones.
Once the spring hits and the U.S. west coast moves back to daylight saving time, there will be no adjustment.
