Will your Outlook meetings be an hour off after Nov 1?

Export your calendar, drop the file here, and we’ll list every meeting that will land at the wrong time once BC, Alberta, Manitoba and the NWT stop changing clocks. It also tells you which ones you can fix and which ones you’ll need to contact the organizer to change.

Your calendar never leaves your computer. The file is only read by your browser, right here on this page. Nothing is uploaded, stored or sent anywhere, and it’s gone when you close the tab. This page has been locked so that no information can be sent from this page to any other site or application unless you choose to email an organizer.

Step 1

Somewhere else? Your own meetings don’t need fixing. Meetings with people in these provinces will just move by an hour on their time, not yours. (Though they may ask you to change times to keep them consistent.)

Step 2Export your calendar

Save it as an .ics file. Instructions for your app are just below.

Step 3Drop it here

We’ll check every meeting from Nov 1 on, including recurring ones.

How to export your calendar

Outlook for Windows (classic)
  1. Go to your calendar, then File › Save Calendar.
  2. Click More Options. Set Date Range to Whole calendar (or pick dates from Nov 1, 2026 to the end of 2027) and Detail to Full details. Click OK.
  3. Save the .ics file, then drop it above.
New Outlook, Outlook on the web or Outlook for Mac
  1. These can’t save a calendar file directly. Open Outlook on the web, then Settings › Calendar › Shared calendars.
  2. Under Publish a calendar, pick your calendar and Can view all details, then click Publish.
  3. Copy the ICS link and paste it into your browser’s address bar to download the file, then drop it above.
  4. When you’re done, come back and click Unpublish so the link stops working. (Your organization may have publishing turned off. If so, use classic Outlook on a Windows PC.)

Published calendars may leave out who organized each meeting, so you might need to check that yourself.

Google Calendar
  1. On a computer, open Google Calendar, then Settings › Import & export › Export.
  2. You’ll get a .zip file. Open it and drop the .ics file for your own calendar (it’s named after your email address) above.

Google says it’s moving most affected events itself. This shows you anything it missed.

Apple Calendar (Mac)
  1. Open Calendar and select the calendar in the sidebar.
  2. Choose File › Export › Export and save the .ics file, then drop it above.

iPhone and iPad can’t export a calendar. Use a Mac, or check the same account in Outlook or Google Calendar.

How this works

Every meeting is saved with a time zone, usually the organizer’s. Until this year, Vancouver shared “Pacific Time” with Seattle and LA, Calgary shared “Mountain Time” with Denver, and Winnipeg shared “Central Time” with Chicago. From Nov 1, those US time zones fall back an hour and BC, Alberta and Manitoba don’t. So a meeting still saved in the old shared time zone will land an hour late.

This page reads the time zone each meeting is saved in, and the rules your calendar app exported with it, and works out where it lands for you before and after Nov 1. It can’t see what anyone intended, so if a meeting is meant to follow US time, it’s fine as it is. The full explanation is in fixing Outlook and Google Calendar meetings after Nov 1.

Questions

Is my calendar uploaded anywhere?

No. Your browser reads the file right on this page. Nothing is uploaded, stored or sent to us or anyone else, and it’s gone when you close the tab. The page is also locked so it can’t send data to any other site. See privacy and cookies.

Which calendars does it work with?

Any calendar that can export an .ics file: classic Outlook for Windows, new Outlook, Outlook on the web and Outlook for Mac (through a published calendar link), Microsoft 365, Google Calendar and Apple Calendar on a Mac. Instructions for each are above.

Does it check Microsoft Teams meetings?

Yes. Teams meetings are saved in your Outlook calendar, so they’re in the export and get checked like any other meeting. If one is listed, the fix happens in Outlook, and the Teams join link stays the same.

Why will some of my Outlook meetings be an hour off after Nov 1?

Each meeting is saved with a time zone. Meetings booked in the old “Pacific Time (US & Canada)” or “Mountain Time (US & Canada)” follow Seattle or Denver, which fall back on Nov 1. BC and Alberta don’t, so those meetings move an hour later than you booked them. The full story is in fixing Outlook and Google Calendar meetings after Nov 1.

What’s the difference between “Fix these” and “Other meetings affected”?

“Fix these” are meetings you organized that are still saved in the old time zone. Change each one to the new time zone and send the update. “Other meetings affected” are booked by people in places that still change clocks, like Toronto or Seattle. They’re correct, but they’ll start an hour off from where they are now for you, so the list shows the new times.

A meeting I was invited to is on the list. What should I do?

Nothing on your own calendar. Only the organizer can change a meeting’s time zone. If the new time doesn’t work, or the organizer is also in BC, Alberta or Manitoba and forgot to update it, use the “Email to reschedule” link to let them know.

Which provinces does it cover?

British Columbia (including the East Kootenay, which follows Alberta), Alberta, the Northwest Territories, Manitoba and northwestern Ontario around Kenora. These all stop changing clocks on Nov 1, 2026. If you’re somewhere else, your own meetings don’t need fixing.
