879 Area Code

879 Area Code Time Zone

Callers dialing the 879 area code are connecting to the Newfoundland Time Zone (UTC-3:30), where local clocks are synchronized to the region's natural rhythms. Standing apart with its unique half-hour offset, this time zone reflects Newfoundland's distinctive cultural identity. It's the only place in North America where time is measured in 30-minute increments from neighboring zones. Across the diverse landscapes of Newfoundland and Labrador, communities from St. John's and Mount Pearl to Corner Brook all share this common temporal framework.
