Looker: Canadian time zone changes on Nov 1, 2026 affect scheduled deliveries and now()

On November 1, 2026, several Canadian provinces and territories—Manitoba, Alberta, British Columbia, and parts of the Northwest Territories—transition to permanent daylight saving time (DST) or remain on their summer UTC offsets year-round. On unpatched Looker instances, these changes affect scheduled content delivery fire times and table calculations that use now() with the affected Canadian time zones (America/Winnipeg, Canada/Central, America/Rainy_River, America/Edmonton, Canada/Mountain, America/Vancouver, Canada/Pacific, and America/Inuvik). Patched Looker builds update the scheduler (Ruby) and browser (JavaScript) time zone data, while server-evaluated now() table calculations on the JVM still use the bundled JDK time zone database (tzdb 2026b). To learn how to upgrade to a patched Looker build or configure an alternative schedule delivery time zone, see 2026 Canadian time zone changes.
