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.

Update, we've confirmed that Hebcal's times for Manitoba are now accurate for the new permanent DST starting on November 1.

Calendars exported from Hebcal via our subscription feeds (using iCalendar format) are typically “perpetual”. That is, they contain events for the current year (Gregorian or Hebrew) plus some number of years into the future. Most downloads (including Apple, Google Calendar, and Microsoft Outlook) support these perpetual calendar subscription feeds.

If you used the standard Hebcal calendar feeds, including iPhone, Google Calendar, Outlook PC, Outlook Web, macOS Calendar, and any app that supports iCalendar (.ics) feeds or subscriptions, then you will see any shabbat and holiday times in your calendar app update accordingly.

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.
