    In Canada, Newfoundland will move forward an hour to two and a half hours behind GMT. New Brunswick and Nova Scotia will be three hours behind GMT.

    Ontario and Quebec will be four hours behind GMT. Manitoba and the Northwest Territories will return to five hours behind GMT, Alberta to six hours and the Yukon and British Columbia to seven hours behind GMT. Most of Saskatchewan does not observe daylight-saving time and will remain at six hours behind GMT.

    Mexico doesn't move to daylight-saving time until April 4. It will then be five hours behind GMT.

    Clocks in Venezuela remain unchanged at four and a half hours behind GMT. In Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, clocks are five hours behind GMT. Central American clocks remain six hours behind GMT. Most of Brazil moved clocks back an hour on Feb. 21, putting it three hours behind GMT.
