Wanted to give feedback that Manitoba Canada no longer has Daylight Savings Time, Effective Nov, 2026. This means that an adjustment of 1 hour back is no longer needed for candle lighting and other times. The current settings are for DST.

Thank you for the message. we are aware of this recent change in law. The Manitoba government decided this on September 17, 2026. The effective date is November 1, 2026.

Depending on how quickly the open source software that Hebcal uses gets patched, we may or may not get this updated before the November 1 date.

As a comparison, British Columbia officially announced it was ending seasonal time changes to adopt permanent Daylight Saving Time on March 2, 2026.

BC wisely made that decision more than 6 months in advance, giving software developers plenty of time to implement the change correctly. We are shocked that Manitoba made the decision they did with only 6 weeks of advance notice.
