Saskatchewan Current Local Time

Most of Saskatchewan, Canada observes Central Standard Time year round and clocks are not adjusted during Daylight Saving Time. However, the Battle River area including the city of Lloydminster uses Mountain Time and also observes daylight saving time. You can use the guide below to find current times in selected locations in Saskatchewan or view our time directory with current times in all Saskatchewan places.

Geographically most of Saskatchewan is in the Mountain Time Zone, however, in 1966 the Saskatchewan Government passed The Time Act which established Central Standard Time be used in eastern and northeastern Saskatchewan and that in the western portions of the province local municipal governments could establish which time zone to observe. Lloydminster is the only city that chose not to use Central Standard Time year round. This decision was in part due to the fact that Lloydminister is partly in Saskatchewan and part is in Alberta. Like Alberta, Lloydminister observes daylight saving time.

In Lloydminster Canada Daylight Saving Time begins at 2:00 a.m. local time on the second Sunday in March. On the first Sunday in November areas on Daylight Saving Time return to Standard Time at 2:00 a.m. During Daylight Saving Time turn your clocks ahead one hour. Areas of Saskatchewan on Central Standard Time year round do not adjust their clocks.
