The 236 area code was created in 2013 to accommodate the growing demand for phone numbers in British Columbia. Today, 236 is exclusively tied to the province, covering iconic neighborhoods like:
Surrey – a thriving urban center
Burnaby – known for its shopping and parks
Richmond – home to a bustling culinary scene
For generations, 236 has represented British Columbia pride, offering the best of provincial life with fast access to all urban centers.
The 236 area code operates in the Pacific Time Zone (PT)–the same time zone as British Columbia. This is important for businesses and professionals who need to stay in sync with local clients, suppliers, and partners. Whether you’re scheduling calls, running local ads, or managing customer support, having a 236 number means you’re aligned with Pacific Standard Time (PST) in winter and Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) in summer.
The 236 area code covers all of British Columbia, including:
Surrey
Burnaby
Richmond
and many more.
Getting a 236 number gives your calls a familiar, local presence in one of British Columbia’s busiest urban regions. It’s perfect for real estate agents, freelancers, remote workers, and anyone who wants to appear local while staying flexible.
