182742Swollman# US Daylight Saving Time ended on the last Sunday of *October* in 1974.

232742Swollman# I recall also being told by someone once that Canada didn't have
242742Swollman# the DST variations in 74/75 that the US did, but I am not nearly
252742Swollman# sure enough of this to add anything.

2362742Swollman# on February 8, 1987, by Dave Sherman of the Law Society of Upper Canada,
2372742Swollman# "...Canada (well, Ontario and at least some of the other provinces) are

2422742Swollman# All of Canada did have DST from your first rule except Saskatchewan.

2672742Swollman
2682742Swollman# From W. Jones (jones@skdad.usask.ca) (November 6, 1992):
2692742Swollman# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
2702742Swollman# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
2712742Swollman# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
2722742Swollman# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
2732742Swollman#
2742742Swollman# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
2752742Swollman# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
2762742Swollman# their affiliations in one direction or the other.  In 1965 a provincial
2772742Swollman# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
2782742Swollman#
2792742Swollman# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
2802742Swollman# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
2812742Swollman# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
2822742Swollman# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
2832742Swollman# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
2842742Swollman# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
2852742Swollman# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
2862742Swollman#
2872742Swollman# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
2882742Swollman# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
2892742Swollman# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
2902742Swollman# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
2912742Swollman# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
2922742Swollman# since sometime in the 1960s.
2932742Swollman#
2942742Swollman# Here's how I would summarize things.  Establish a "Saskatchewan" CST
2952742Swollman# time zone, and note that it officially exists as of 15 April 1966.  Any
2962742Swollman# current exceptions can put themselves in the "Mountain" zone, since
2972742Swollman# those are the rules they follow.  Any past exceptions can be forgotten,
2982742Swollman# since that's what those who live here have done.

3002742Swollman# From Arthur David Olson (November 21, 1992):

5332742Swollman# From Guy Harris:
5342742Swollman# Rules are from the Official Airline Guide, Worldwide Edition, for 1987.
5352742Swollman# Rules prior to 1987 are unknown.
5362742Swollman# The comments in the OAG say "Only Ensenada, Mexicale, San Felipe and Tijuana
5372742Swollman# observe DST."  This is presumably Baja California Norte, above 28th parallel,
5382742Swollman# as listed there; Mexico/BajaSur is for "Baja California Sur and N. Pacific
5392742Swollman# Coast (States of Sinaloa and Sonora)."
5402742Swollman
5412742Swollman# From Bob Devine (January 28, 1988):
5422742Swollman# The Federal District (where Mexico City is) has observed [DST] several
5432742Swollman# times but not recently.
5442742Swollman#
5452742Swollman# I don't where to drawn the line in the North Baja area.  28th latitude
5462742Swollman# sounds good -- but it may be higher (how far [d]o radio stations from
5472742Swollman# San Diego affect culture?).
5482742Swollman#
5492742Swollman# The dates of DST probably go back to 1981.  The rules are the same as
5502742Swollman# US's.  This is going to be a headache for US presidential electi[o]n years!
5512742Swollman
5522742Swollman# From Arthur David Olson (February 13, 1988)
5532742Swollman# Since the 1981 starting date is only "probable," we'll keep the 1987
5542742Swollman# starting date below.

5752742Swollman# April 3 fell on a Sunday in 1988; October 29 fell on a Sunday in 1989.  Ahem.
5762742Swollman# USNO claims there should be four Mexican zones rather than three:
5772742Swollman# a zone that's GMT-8 with DST; a zone that's always GMT-7;
