In 1965 a provincial 954# referendum favoured legislating common time practices. 955# 956# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of 957# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern 958# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in 959# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to 960# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and 961# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would 962# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST. 963# 964# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town 965# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to 966# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only 967# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT 968# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round 969# since sometime in the 1960s. 970 971# Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S 972Rule Regina 1918 only - Apr 14 2:00 1:00 D 973Rule Regina 1918 only - Oct 31 2:00 0 S 974Rule Regina 1930 1934 - May Sun>=1 0:00 1:00 D 975Rule Regina 1930 1934 - Oct Sun>=1 0:00 0 S 976Rule Regina 1937 1941 - Apr Sun>=8 0:00 1:00 D 977Rule Regina 1937 only - Oct Sun>=8 0:00 0 S 978Rule Regina 1938 only - Oct Sun>=1 0:00 0 S 979Rule Regina 1939 1941 - Oct Sun>=8 0:00 0 S 980Rule Regina 1942 only - Feb 9 2:00 1:00 W 981Rule Regina 1945 only - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 982Rule Regina 1946 only - Apr Sun>=8 2:00 1:00 D 983Rule Regina 1946 only - Oct Sun>=8 2:00 0 S 984Rule Regina 1947 1959 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 985Rule Regina 1947 1958 - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 986Rule Regina 1959 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 987# 988Rule Swift 1957 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 989Rule Swift 1957 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 990Rule Swift 1959 1961 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 991Rule Swift 1959 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 992Rule Swift 1960 1961 - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 993# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 994Zone America/Regina -6:58:36 - LMT 1905 Sep 995 -7:00 Regina M%sT 1960 Apr lastSun 2:00 996 -6:00 - CST 997Zone America/Swift_Current -7:11:20 - LMT 1905 Sep 998 -7:00 Canada M%sT 1946 Apr lastSun 2:00 999 -7:00 Regina M%sT 1950 1000 -7:00 Swift M%sT 1972 Apr lastSun 2:00 1001 -6:00 - CST 1002 1003 1004# Alberta 1005 1006# Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S 1007Rule Edm 1918 1919 - Apr Sun>=8 2:00 1:00 D 1008Rule Edm 1918 only - Oct 31 2:00 0 S 1009Rule Edm 1919 only - May 27 2:00 0 S 1010Rule Edm 1920 1923 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1011Rule Edm 1920 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1012Rule Edm 1921 1923 - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1013Rule Edm 1942 only - Feb 9 2:00 1:00 W 1014Rule Edm 1945 only - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1015Rule Edm 1947 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1016Rule Edm 1947 only - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1017Rule Edm 1967 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1018Rule Edm 1967 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1019Rule Edm 1969 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1020Rule Edm 1969 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1021Rule Edm 1972 1986 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1022Rule Edm 1972 max - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1023Rule Edm 1987 max - Apr Sun>=1 2:00 1:00 D 1024# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 1025Zone America/Edmonton -7:33:52 - LMT 1906 Sep 1026 -7:00 Edm M%sT 1027 1028 1029# British Columbia 1030 1031# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02): 1032# Shanks writes that since 1970 most of this region has been like Vancouver. 1033# Dawson Creek uses MST.

1084# We'll ignore the claim about Coral Harbour for now, 1085# since we have no further info. 1086 1087# From Rives McDow (1999-11-08): 1088# On October 31, when the rest of Nunavut went to Central time, 1089# Pangnirtung wobbled. Here is the result of their wobble: 1090# 1091# The following businesses and organizations in Pangnirtung use Central Time: 1092# 1093# First Air, Power Corp, Nunavut Construction, Health Center, RCMP, 1094# Eastern Arctic National Parks, A & D Specialist 1095# 1096# The following businesses and organizations in Pangnirtung use Eastern Time: 1097# 1098# Hamlet office, All other businesses, Both schools, Airport operator 1099# 1100# This has made for an interesting situation there, which warranted the news. 1101# No one there that I spoke with seems concerned, or has plans to 1102# change the local methods of keeping time, as it evidently does not 1103# really interfere with any activities or make things difficult locally. 1104# They plan to celebrate New Year's turn-over twice, one hour apart, 1105# so it appears that the situation will last at least that long. 1106# The Nunavut Intergovernmental Affairs hopes that they will "come to 1107# their senses", but the locals evidently don't see any problem with 1108# the current state of affairs. 1109 1110# From Michaela Rodrigue, writing in the 1111# <a href="http://www.nunatsiaq.com/archives/nunavut991130/nvt91119_17.html"> 1112# Nunatsiaq News (1999-11-19)</a>: 1113# Clyde River, Pangnirtung and Sanikiluaq now operate with two time zones, 1114# central - or Nunavut time - for government offices, and eastern time 1115# for municipal offices and schools....
