Prayer Times in Vancouver
Vancouver observes Pacific Time, switching between standard time (UTC-8) in winter and daylight saving time (UTC-7) in summer, so the clock times you see shift with the spring and autumn changeovers as well as with the seasons. At about 49°N, the city has a wide seasonal swing in daylight: long summer days push Fajr very early and Isha late into the evening, while short winter days bring a late Fajr and an early-afternoon Maghrib. Times on this page are calculated using the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) method, which is widely used across Canada and the United States.
Ramadan in Vancouver
During Ramadan, the daily fast in Vancouver runs from Fajr to Maghrib, so the length of the fasting day depends heavily on the time of year the month falls in. At roughly 49 degrees north, the city experiences long summer days and short winter days, which means a Ramadan in summer brings notably longer fasts than one in winter. Daylight saving time may also shift the clock times of Suhoor and Iftar during the month.
Muslims in Vancouver typically plan Suhoor before the early Fajr time and break their fast at Maghrib, following the daily times listed on this page. Because the start of Ramadan depends on the sighting of the new moon, the exact dates vary each year, and local mosques and community organisations across Metro Vancouver usually announce confirmed start and end dates along with arrangements for nightly Taraweeh prayers.
