The timing belt change is a maintenance item, not covered under warranty, unless it breaks while under warranty.
Normal conditions 105,000 miles @ 169,000 Km
Extreme heat, over 110F or under -20F, change at 60,000 miles @ 96,000 Km.

What is considered as a normal condition? over here in montreal, during the summer its like 82F and during the winter its normally around 5F. Is that a normal condition?

Yes, that's normal. And the actual change is driven by the MID. Acura doesn't specify a mileage for 3G TLs anymore for normal conditions. When you get a "4" on the MID along with the "service due now" message, it's due. Most folks are getting a "4" around 105K miles. All of this is covered in your owner's manual.
