Time Zones Across Nunavut

Three time zones in one territory.

What your child practises

Practises how time zones work and converting clock times between Nunavut's Eastern, Central and Mountain time communities. Uses communities whose time zone is settled; a few places (such as Coral Harbour) keep their own time, so check locally.
