British Columbia adopted permanent Daylight Savings time in March 2026. This means no more setting the clocks back each fall. While this is great news for our sleep, not all systems have been updated to reflect this change. That includes the VIULearn time zone labelled for Vancouver.
What do you need to do?
When you next log into VIULearn, please check your time zone setting in VIULearn. If GMT – 8:00 Vancouver is the time zone selected, displayed times in VIULearn for activities and events after November 1 may be incorrect. Fortunately, it’s a very quick fix to set your VIULearn clock to our new time zone.
- Click your name or profile icon in the upper right hand corner.
- Select Account Settings.
- Scroll down to the Time Zone heading. If you are seeing the GMT-8:00 Canada – Vancouver time zone selected, click the blue arrow to the right of this field to restore your time zone settings to the default settings.
- Click Yes to confirm.
- Click Save and Close to save your changes.
