Vancouver runs on America/Vancouver, currently PDT (UTC-7:00). Miami runs on America/New_York, currently EDT (UTC-4:00). The gap of 3 hours is simply the distance between those two offsets.
Both cities observe Daylight Saving Time, but they don't switch on the same date — so for a few weeks each year the gap between them is different again. The next shift is on Sunday, November 1, 2026, when Miami adjusts its clocks and the difference becomes 2 hours. Anything scheduled across that date needs checking again.
