🔌 Plugs
Yes. You'll need a US-style (type A/B) adapter. The voltage is 120V, much lower than the UK's 230V. Phone, laptop and camera chargers marked "100–240V" are fine with an adapter. UK hairdryers, straighteners and kettles usually won't work properly unless they're dual-voltage. You'd need a voltage converter, or buy one locally.

Vancouver is 7 hours behind the UK in the UK winter and 8 hours behind the UK in the UK summer (the clocks change on different dates).
