The Yukon and most of British Columbia are on the same time year round. See the southeastern British Columbia communities that use Mountain Daylight Time (UTC-6) instead.

From November to March, the Yukon is on the same time as Alberta and the Northwest Territories.

Selecting a time zone on your device

The preferred time zone selections are “Yukon”, “Whitehorse” or “Mountain Standard Time”. If you're setting your time zone manually, make sure the option to automatically change the Daylight Saving Time is set to off.
