Vancouver runs on Pacific Time (PST/PDT) — same offset as Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco. Business hours 9 AM - 5 PM PT. Vancouver anchors Canadian west-coast business and is a major film / TV production hub sharing time with the US West Coast.
North America runs five continental-US timezones (Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific, Alaskan) plus Newfoundland (a 30-minute offset from Atlantic Time — one of the few 30-minute timezones outside Asia). DST is nearly universal (except Arizona, Hawaii, most of Saskatchewan) and runs March → November. Business scheduling defaults to Eastern for multi-office US corporations regardless of headquarters.
Major cities in Canada — some may be in a different time zone than if the country spans multiple zones.
