1858# I tried to trace the history of Yukon time and found the following

1862# authorizing and resulting from these regulatory changes.
1863#
1864# Only recent regulations were retrievable via Yukon government site search or

1870# standard times and daylight saving time at many locations across Canada,
1871# with time zone maps, tables and calculations for Canadian Sunrise, Sunset,
1872# and LMST; they also cover many countries and global locations, with a chart
