Timezone[modifier]

According to Timezone, the time zone of Auyuittuq is Atlantic Standard Time (UTC-4). This timezone is one hour later than our current timezone (Eastern Standard Time). You can also want to look at the map of the timezone in Canada.

Nunavut has, surprisely, a summer time. So the difference will be the same even in summer.
