Identified - We have identified an issue where Zoom meetings accessed through Canvas may show a start time that is one hour off, even when your Zoom timezone is set to “(GMT-7:00) Vancouver.”
This affects the displayed time only. If your meeting was created using the “(GMT-7:00) Vancouver” timezone, it is still scheduled at the correct time.
Workaround: To see the correct meeting times in Canvas, set your Zoom timezone to “(GMT-7:00) Arizona” when using Zoom through Canvas.

Update - Users accessing Zoom through Canvas may see meeting times shown in the wrong timezone. The timezone may also change on its own when the page is refreshed. We are currently investigating the issue.
In the meantime:
• When scheduling a new meeting, make sure the timezone is set to “(GMT -7:00) Pacific Time (Vancouver)” before saving.
• For meetings already scheduled, times in Canvas should display correctly as long as your Zoom timezone is set to “(GMT -7:00) Pacific Time (Vancouver).”

Update - If you are using UBC FASmail or UBC Student Email, you can now update your meetings using UBC IT's self-service tool. The tool can update many meetings automatically and identify those that require manual review.
If you are not using UBC FASmail or UBC Student Email, please consult with your department or organization on how to update your upcoming meetings. You may need to manually update your meetings to the new time zone.

Investigating - British Columbia has adopted permanent year-round daylight saving time (Pacific Time), with the change scheduled to take effect on November 1. We recognize that some community members may have questions about the impact on calendars, devices, and scheduled meetings.
UBC IT is actively working with Microsoft and Apple to coordinate the required time zone updates for computers, mobile devices, and calendaring services. We anticipate updates from our vendors will begin rolling out next week.
UBC IT plans to provide detailed guidance by October 16 outlining what to expect and any actions that may be required.
Thank you for your patience as we work to ensure a smooth transition.

Scheduled - UBC IT will be preparing end user devices for the transition to the new BC time zone (PCT, UTC -7:00). MacOS devices that are currently set to America/Los_Angeles, America/Tijuana or US/Pacific (PST/PDT) will be transitioned to America/Vancouver to address the new time zone for British Columbia. We realize this may impact a small number of devices operating outside BC (Washington, Oregon, California) that may need to be corrected after this change.

UBCIT eSAM Servers Maintenance Nov. 19, 2026, 20:00-23:00 PT Nov 19, 2026 20:00-23:00 PST
UBCIT will be performing maintenance on the eSAM component and vault servers on Nov. 19, 2026, 20:00-23:00 PT. This change will affect both UBC campuses.
Users will intermittently not be able to login to any servers managed by eSAM, nor retrieve any credentials via the eSAM Web UI throughout the maintanance window.
Any connections terminated while a component is being rebooted can be reconnected to the secondary node. All connections will be terminated and users won't be able to reconnect while we patch the vault servers (which typically lasts around 30 minutes) during this window.
