257# "...Canada (well, Ontario and at least some of the other provinces) are

263# Which parts did not observe DST is hard to pinpoint but most of the

287
288# From W. Jones (jones@skdad.usask.ca) (November 6, 1992):
289# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
290# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
291# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
292# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
293#
294# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
295# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
296# their affiliations in one direction or the other. In 1965 a provincial
297# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
298#
299# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
300# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
301# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
302# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
303# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
304# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
305# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
306#
307# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
308# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
309# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
310# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
311# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
312# since sometime in the 1960s.
313#
314# Here's how I would summarize things. Establish a "Saskatchewan" CST
315# time zone, and note that it officially exists as of 15 April 1966. Any
316# current exceptions can put themselves in the "Mountain" zone, since
317# those are the rules they follow. Any past exceptions can be forgotten,
318# since that's what those who live here have done.
319

569# From Guy Harris:
570# Rules are from the Official Airline Guide, Worldwide Edition, for 1987.
571# Rules prior to 1987 are unknown.
572# The comments in the OAG say "Only Ensenada, Mexicale, San Felipe and Tijuana
573# observe DST." This is presumably Baja California Norte, above 28th parallel,
574# as listed there; Mexico/BajaSur is for "Baja California Sur and N. Pacific
575# Coast (States of Sinaloa and Sonora)."
576
577# From Bob Devine (January 28, 1988):
578# The Federal District (where Mexico City is) has observed [DST] several
579# times but not recently.
580#
581# I don't where to drawn the line in the North Baja area. 28th latitude
582# sounds good -- but it may be higher (how far [d]o radio stations from
583# San Diego affect culture?).
584#
585# The dates of DST probably go back to 1981. The rules are the same as
586# US's. This is going to be a headache for US presidential electi[o]n years!
587
588# From Arthur David Olson (February 13, 1988)
589# Since the 1981 starting date is only "probable," we'll keep the 1987
590# starting date below.
591
592# From U. S. Naval Observatory (January 19, 1989):
593# MEXICO BAJA CAL N 7 H BEHIND UTC BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR AND
594# MEXICO BAJA CAL N N. PACIFIC COAST (STATES
595# MEXICO BAJA CAL N OF SINALOA AND SONORA)

609
610# From Arthur David Olson (January 21, 1989):
611# April 3 fell on a Sunday in 1988; October 29 fell on a Sunday in 1989. Ahem.
612# USNO claims there should be four Mexican zones rather than three:
613# a zone that's GMT-8 with DST; a zone that's always GMT-7;
614# a zone that's GMT-6 with DST; and a zone that's always GMT-6.
615
616# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (November 18, 1993):
617# Shanks also says there are four zones, but disagrees about the fourth.
618# Instead of GMT-6 with DST, he says there's GMT-8 without DST.

233# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (November 18, 1993):
234# A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is
235# Thomas G. Shanks, The International Atlas (3rd edition),
236# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
237# Except where otherwise noted, it is the source for the data below.
238#
239# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
240# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which
241# I found in the UCLA library.
242#
243# I invented the abbreviation SPST for St Pierre Standard Time; SPDT likewise.
244# Corrections are welcome!
245#
246# See the `africa' file for Zone naming conventions.

250# Canada
251
252# Canada is reportedly lots easier than the US--leastways since 1951.
253# I don't know what they did before then.
254# 4.3BSD claims that it's perfectly regular.
255# According to a posting in "comp.bugs.misc", "comp.unix.wizards", etc.
256# on February 8, 1987, by Dave Sherman of the Law Society of Upper Canada,
257# "...Canada (well, Ontario and at least some of the other provinces) are
258# adopting the new daylight savings time rules...". We assume all of
259# Canada is doing so.
260
261# From Bob Devine (January 28, 1988):
262# All of Canada did have DST from your first rule except Saskatchewan.
263# Which parts did not observe DST is hard to pinpoint but most of the
264# province follows the rules.
265# NOTE: those that didn't have DST for that rule, also
266# probably did not have it for several years previous.
267
268# From U. S. Naval Observatory (January 19, 1989):
269# CANADA NEW FDL 3.5H BEHIND UTC ST.JOHN'S
270# CANADA NEW FDL 1.5H BEHIND UTC APR 3 - OCT 29

282
283# From Arthur David Olson (January 21, 1989):
284# April 3 fell on a Sunday in 1988; October 29 fell on a Sunday in 1989. Ahem.
285# Note claim that there's double DST in Newfoundland and that Yukon should
286# be same as Pacific.
287
288# From W. Jones (jones@skdad.usask.ca) (November 6, 1992):
289# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
290# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
291# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
292# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
293#
294# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
295# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
296# their affiliations in one direction or the other. In 1965 a provincial
297# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
298#
299# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
300# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
301# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
302# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
303# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
304# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
305# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
306#
307# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
308# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
309# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
310# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
311# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
312# since sometime in the 1960s.
313#
314# Here's how I would summarize things. Establish a "Saskatchewan" CST
315# time zone, and note that it officially exists as of 15 April 1966. Any
316# current exceptions can put themselves in the "Mountain" zone, since
317# those are the rules they follow. Any past exceptions can be forgotten,
318# since that's what those who live here have done.
319
320# From Arthur David Olson (November 21, 1992):
321# East-Saskatchewan kept to avoid problems for folks using that zone by name;
322# plain Saskatchewan added.

571# Rules prior to 1987 are unknown.
572# The comments in the OAG say "Only Ensenada, Mexicale, San Felipe and Tijuana
573# observe DST." This is presumably Baja California Norte, above 28th parallel,
574# as listed there; Mexico/BajaSur is for "Baja California Sur and N. Pacific
575# Coast (States of Sinaloa and Sonora)."
576
577# From Bob Devine (January 28, 1988):
578# The Federal District (where Mexico City is) has observed [DST] several
579# times but not recently.
580#
581# I don't where to drawn the line in the North Baja area. 28th latitude
582# sounds good -- but it may be higher (how far [d]o radio stations from
583# San Diego affect culture?).
584#
585# The dates of DST probably go back to 1981. The rules are the same as
586# US's. This is going to be a headache for US presidential electi[o]n years!
587
588# From Arthur David Olson (February 13, 1988)
589# Since the 1981 starting date is only "probable," we'll keep the 1987
590# starting date below.
591
592# From U. S. Naval Observatory (January 19, 1989):
593# MEXICO BAJA CAL N 7 H BEHIND UTC BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR AND
594# MEXICO BAJA CAL N N. PACIFIC COAST (STATES
595# MEXICO BAJA CAL N OF SINALOA AND SONORA)

609
610# From Arthur David Olson (January 21, 1989):
611# April 3 fell on a Sunday in 1988; October 29 fell on a Sunday in 1989. Ahem.
612# USNO claims there should be four Mexican zones rather than three:
613# a zone that's GMT-8 with DST; a zone that's always GMT-7;
614# a zone that's GMT-6 with DST; and a zone that's always GMT-6.
615
616# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (November 18, 1993):
617# Shanks also says there are four zones, but disagrees about the fourth.
618# Instead of GMT-6 with DST, he says there's GMT-8 without DST.
