Norway vs Edmonton: Offsets, DST and Best Call Times
Norway runs on Central European Summer Time (CEST) at UTC+02:00, currently observing daylight saving time. Edmonton runs on Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) at UTC-06:00, also currently on daylight saving time. That puts Norway 8 hours behind Edmonton — a difference of -8h at the current offsets.
In practice, when it is 9:00 AM in Norway it is 1:00 AM in Edmonton. Midnight in Norway is 4:00 PM in Edmonton. Because both zones shift for daylight saving, the gap between them only changes during the few weeks each year when their transition dates differ.

Why people convert Norway to Edmonton time
- Scheduling a call from Norway to Edmonton: a 10:00 AM start in Norway lands at 2:00 AM in Edmonton, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Handling a -8h gap: Norway and Edmonton have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in Edmonton is 1:00 AM in Norway.
- Coordinating a Norway-based team with Edmonton contacts: quoting times in the other side's local clock — not your own — removes the single biggest source of missed meetings.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM CEST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -8h gap is not.
- With a -8h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week Norway takes the early slot, the next week Edmonton does.
- Norway: Clocks fall back on Sun, Oct 25, 2026. Re-check this page after that date because the offset changes and so does the -8h gap.
- Edmonton: Clocks fall back on Sun, Nov 1, 2026. Any meeting series spanning that date will shift by an hour in local time.
About CET (Central European Time)
