212386db68SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
222386db68SMarcel Telka# Howse writes (pp 121-125) that time zones were invented by
232386db68SMarcel Telka# Professor Charles Ferdinand Dowd (1825-1904),
242386db68SMarcel Telka# Principal of Temple Grove Ladies' Seminary (Saratoga Springs, NY).
252386db68SMarcel Telka# His pamphlet "A System of National Time for Railroads" (1870)
262386db68SMarcel Telka# was the result of his proposals at the Convention of Railroad Trunk Lines
272386db68SMarcel Telka# in New York City (1869-10).  His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC,
282386db68SMarcel Telka# but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich.
292386db68SMarcel Telka
30006fe326SYuri Pankov# From Paul Eggert (2018-03-20):
312386db68SMarcel Telka# Dowd's proposal left many details unresolved, such as where to draw
322386db68SMarcel Telka# lines between time zones.  The key individual who made time zones
332386db68SMarcel Telka# work in the US was William Frederick Allen - railway engineer,
342386db68SMarcel Telka# managing editor of the Travelers' Guide, and secretary of the
352386db68SMarcel Telka# General Time Convention, a railway standardization group.  Allen
362386db68SMarcel Telka# spent months in dialogs with scientific and railway leaders,
372386db68SMarcel Telka# developed a workable plan to institute time zones, and presented it
382386db68SMarcel Telka# to the General Time Convention on 1883-04-11, saying that his plan
392386db68SMarcel Telka# meant "local time would be practically abolished" - a plus for
402386db68SMarcel Telka# railway scheduling.  By the next convention on 1883-10-11 nearly all
41006fe326SYuri Pankov# railroads had agreed and it took effect on 1883-11-18.  That Sunday
42006fe326SYuri Pankov# was called the "day of two noons", as some locations observed noon
43006fe326SYuri Pankov# twice.  Allen witnessed the transition in New York City, writing:
442386db68SMarcel Telka#
452386db68SMarcel Telka#   I heard the bells of St. Paul's strike on the old time.  Four
462386db68SMarcel Telka#   minutes later, obedient to the electrical signal from the Naval
472386db68SMarcel Telka#   Observatory ... the time-ball made its rapid descent, the chimes
482386db68SMarcel Telka#   of old Trinity rang twelve measured strokes, and local time was
492386db68SMarcel Telka#   abandoned, probably forever.
502386db68SMarcel Telka#
512386db68SMarcel Telka# Most of the US soon followed suit.  See:

602386db68SMarcel Telka# A good source for time zone historical data in the US is
612386db68SMarcel Telka# Thomas G. Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition),
622386db68SMarcel Telka# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
632386db68SMarcel Telka# Make sure you have the errata sheet; the book is somewhat useless without it.
642386db68SMarcel Telka# It is the source for most of the pre-1991 US entries below.
652386db68SMarcel Telka
662386db68SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
672386db68SMarcel Telka# Daylight Saving Time was first suggested as a joke by Benjamin Franklin
682386db68SMarcel Telka# in his whimsical essay "An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost
692386db68SMarcel Telka# of Light" published in the Journal de Paris (1784-04-26).
702386db68SMarcel Telka# Not everyone is happy with the results:
712386db68SMarcel Telka#
722386db68SMarcel Telka#	I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some
732386db68SMarcel Telka#	agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving
742386db68SMarcel Telka#	daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind.
752386db68SMarcel Telka#	I even object to the implication that I am wasting something
762386db68SMarcel Telka#	valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen.  As an admirer
772386db68SMarcel Telka#	of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to
782386db68SMarcel Telka#	reduce my time for enjoying it.  At the back of the Daylight Saving
792386db68SMarcel Telka#	scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager
802386db68SMarcel Telka#	to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make
812386db68SMarcel Telka#	them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves.

902386db68SMarcel Telka#
912386db68SMarcel Telka# Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919.
922386db68SMarcel Telka# However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which
932386db68SMarcel Telka# was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently
942386db68SMarcel Telka# time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time".

962386db68SMarcel Telka# From Arthur David Olson:
972386db68SMarcel Telka# US Daylight Saving Time ended on the last Sunday of *October* in 1974.
982386db68SMarcel Telka# See, for example, the front page of the Saturday, 1974-10-26

1012386db68SMarcel Telka# From Arthur David Olson:
1022386db68SMarcel Telka# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of
1032386db68SMarcel Telka# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime.

1052386db68SMarcel Telka# From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25):
1062386db68SMarcel Telka# Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama.
1072386db68SMarcel Telka# In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time."

1112386db68SMarcel Telka# Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.'  Peace is wonderful."

1162386db68SMarcel Telka
1172386db68SMarcel Telka# From Joseph Gallant citing
1182386db68SMarcel Telka# George H. Douglas, _The Early Days of Radio Broadcasting_ (1987):
1192386db68SMarcel Telka# At 7 P.M. (Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set
1202386db68SMarcel Telka# to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people
1212386db68SMarcel Telka# never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account,
1222386db68SMarcel Telka# CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender,
1232386db68SMarcel Telka# but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word
1242386db68SMarcel Telka# of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in
1252386db68SMarcel Telka# London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech.
1262386db68SMarcel Telka
1272386db68SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout.  From
1282386db68SMarcel Telka# Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times:
1292386db68SMarcel Telka#
1302386db68SMarcel Telka# ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender.
1312386db68SMarcel Telka# Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a
1322386db68SMarcel Telka# wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news.
1332386db68SMarcel Telka# Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out
1342386db68SMarcel Telka# typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental
1352386db68SMarcel Telka# importance."
1362386db68SMarcel Telka#
1372386db68SMarcel Telka# On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open
1382386db68SMarcel Telka# microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell,
1392386db68SMarcel Telka# before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over.
1402386db68SMarcel Telka# The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms."
1412386db68SMarcel Telka#
1422386db68SMarcel Telka# He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters.
1432386db68SMarcel Telka
1442386db68SMarcel Telka# From Arthur David Olson (2005-08-22):
1452386db68SMarcel Telka# Paul has been careful to use the "US" rules only in those locations
1462386db68SMarcel Telka# that are part of the United States; this reflects the real scope of
1472386db68SMarcel Telka# U.S. government action.  So even though the "US" rules have changed
1482386db68SMarcel Telka# in the latest release, other countries won't be affected.

3532cadd18dSYuri Pankov# In 1869 the Chicago Astronomical Society contracted with the city to keep
3542cadd18dSYuri Pankov# time.  Though delayed by the Great Fire, by 1880 a wire ran from the
3552cadd18dSYuri Pankov# Dearborn Observatory (on the University of Chicago campus) to City Hall,
3562cadd18dSYuri Pankov# which then sent signals to police and fire stations.  However, railroads got
3572cadd18dSYuri Pankov# their time signals from the Allegheny Observatory, the Madison Observatory,
3582cadd18dSYuri Pankov# the Ann Arbor Observatory, etc., so their clocks did not agree with each
3592cadd18dSYuri Pankov# other or with the city's official time.  The confusion took some years to

4952386db68SMarcel Telka#   factor in the defeat of the Dewey-Warren Presidential ticket in California.

4982386db68SMarcel Telka# On December 8 the governor exercised the option, setting the date to January 1
4992386db68SMarcel Telka# (LA Times 1948-12-09).  The transition time was 02:00 (LA Times 1949-01-01).

5012386db68SMarcel Telka# Despite the controversy, in 1949 California voters approved Proposition 12,

5032386db68SMarcel Telka# last Sunday at 02:00. This was amended by 1962's Proposition 6, which changed

537f34ea95cSYuri Pankov# As far as we know, of the locations mentioned below only Sitka was
5382386db68SMarcel Telka# permanently inhabited in 1867 by anyone using either calendar.
539f34ea95cSYuri Pankov# (Yakutat was colonized by the Russians in 1799, but the settlement was
540f34ea95cSYuri Pankov# destroyed in 1805 by a Yakutat-kon war party.)  Many of Alaska's inhabitants
541f34ea95cSYuri Pankov# were unaware of the US acquisition of Alaska, much less of any calendar or
542f34ea95cSYuri Pankov# time change.  However, the Russian-influenced part of Alaska did observe
543f34ea95cSYuri Pankov# Russian time, and it is more accurate to model this than to ignore it.
544f34ea95cSYuri Pankov# The database format requires an exact transition time; use the Russian
545f34ea95cSYuri Pankov# salute as a somewhat-arbitrary time for the formal transfer of control for
546f34ea95cSYuri Pankov# all of Alaska.  Sitka's UTC offset is -9:01:13; adjust its 15:30 to the

5622386db68SMarcel Telka# Here's database-relevant material from the 2001 "Alaska History" article:
5632386db68SMarcel Telka#
5642386db68SMarcel Telka# On September 20 [1979]...DOT...officials decreed that on April 27,
5652386db68SMarcel Telka# 1980, Juneau and other nearby communities would move to Yukon Time.
5662386db68SMarcel Telka# Sitka, Petersburg, Wrangell, and Ketchikan, however, would remain on
5672386db68SMarcel Telka# Pacific Time.
5682386db68SMarcel Telka#
5692386db68SMarcel Telka# ...on September 22, 1980, DOT Secretary Neil E. Goldschmidt rescinded the
5702386db68SMarcel Telka# Department's September 1979 decision. Juneau and other communities in
5712386db68SMarcel Telka# northern Southeast reverted to Pacific Time on October 26.
5722386db68SMarcel Telka#
5732386db68SMarcel Telka# On October 28 [1983]...the Metlakatla Indian Community Council voted
5742386db68SMarcel Telka# unanimously to keep the reservation on Pacific Time.
5752386db68SMarcel Telka#
5762386db68SMarcel Telka# According to DOT official Joanne Petrie, Indian reservations are not

5822386db68SMarcel Telka# From Arthur David Olson (2011-02-09):

5872386db68SMarcel Telka# the staffer said it was shortly after 10:00 there. When I asked whether
5882386db68SMarcel Telka# that meant they were on Pacific time, they said no - they were on their

5902386db68SMarcel Telka# did not inquire about practices in the past.

5922386db68SMarcel Telka# From Arthur David Olson (2011-08-17):
5932386db68SMarcel Telka# For lack of better information, assume that Metlakatla's
5942386db68SMarcel Telka# abandonment of use of daylight saving resulted from the 1983 vote.

5962386db68SMarcel Telka# From Steffen Thorsen (2015-11-09):
5972386db68SMarcel Telka# It seems Metlakatla did go off PST on Sunday, November 1, changing

7372386db68SMarcel Telka# Between 1944-01-01 and 1944-04-01 the State of Arizona used standard
7382386db68SMarcel Telka# time, but by federal law railroads, airlines, bus lines, military
7392386db68SMarcel Telka# personnel, and some engaged in interstate commerce continued to
7402386db68SMarcel Telka# observe war (i.e., daylight saving) time.  The 1944-03-17 Phoenix
7412386db68SMarcel Telka# Gazette says that was the date the law changed, and that 04-01 was
7422386db68SMarcel Telka# the date the state's clocks would change.  In 1945 the State of
7432386db68SMarcel Telka# Arizona used standard time all year, again with exceptions only as
7442386db68SMarcel Telka# mandated by federal law.  Arizona observed DST in 1967, but Arizona
7452386db68SMarcel Telka# Laws 1968, ch. 183 (effective 1968-03-21) repealed DST.

8002386db68SMarcel Telka# - Crawford, Daviess, Dubois, Knox, Martin, Perry, Pike, Pulaski, Starke,

8022386db68SMarcel Telka#
8032386db68SMarcel Telka# Shanks partitioned Indiana into 345 regions, each with its own time history,

10022386db68SMarcel Telka# (1999-01-29) via WKYM-101.7:
10032386db68SMarcel Telka# Clinton County has joined Wayne County in asking the DoT to change from
10042386db68SMarcel Telka# the Central to the Eastern time zone....  The Wayne County government made
10052386db68SMarcel Telka# the same request in December.  And while Russell County officials have not
10062386db68SMarcel Telka# taken action, the majority of respondents to a poll conducted there in
10072386db68SMarcel Telka# August indicated they would like to change to "fast time" also.

10122386db68SMarcel Telka# After prolonged debate, and despite continuing deep differences of opinion,
10132386db68SMarcel Telka# Wayne County (central Kentucky) is switching from Central (-0600) to Eastern

10312386db68SMarcel Telka# Kearny County, KS (put all of county on central;

10382386db68SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2001-07-17):
10392386db68SMarcel Telka# We don't know where the line used to be within Kearny County, KS,
10402386db68SMarcel Telka# so omit that change for now.

10422386db68SMarcel Telka# See America/North_Dakota/Center for the Oliver County, ND change.
10432386db68SMarcel Telka# West Wendover, NV officially switched from Pacific to mountain time on
10442386db68SMarcel Telka# 1999-10-31.  See the
10452386db68SMarcel Telka# Federal Register 64, 203 (1999-10-21), pp 56705-56707.

10472386db68SMarcel Telka# However, the Federal Register says that West Wendover already operated
10482386db68SMarcel Telka# on mountain time, and the rule merely made this official;
10492386db68SMarcel Telka# hence a separate tz entry is not needed.

10562386db68SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
10572386db68SMarcel Telka# Shanks writes that Michigan started using standard time on 1885-09-18,
10582386db68SMarcel Telka# but Howse writes (pp 124-125, referring to Popular Astronomy, 1901-01)
10592386db68SMarcel Telka# that Detroit kept
10602386db68SMarcel Telka#
10612386db68SMarcel Telka#	local time until 1900 when the City Council decreed that clocks should
10622386db68SMarcel Telka#	be put back twenty-eight minutes to Central Standard Time.  Half the
10632386db68SMarcel Telka#	city obeyed, half refused.  After considerable debate, the decision
10642386db68SMarcel Telka#	was rescinded and the city reverted to Sun time.  A derisive offer to
10652386db68SMarcel Telka#	erect a sundial in front of the city hall was referred to the
10662386db68SMarcel Telka#	Committee on Sewers.  Then, in 1905, Central time was adopted
10672386db68SMarcel Telka#	by city vote.
10682386db68SMarcel Telka#
10692386db68SMarcel Telka# This story is too entertaining to be false, so go with Howse over Shanks.

10712386db68SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
10722386db68SMarcel Telka# Garland (1927) writes "Cleveland and Detroit advanced their clocks
10732386db68SMarcel Telka# one hour in 1914."  This change is not in Shanks.  We have no more

1076f34ea95cSYuri Pankov# From Paul Eggert (2017-07-26):
1077f34ea95cSYuri Pankov# Although Shanks says Detroit observed DST in 1967 from 06-14 00:01
1078f34ea95cSYuri Pankov# until 10-29 00:01, I now see multiple reports that this is incorrect.
1079f34ea95cSYuri Pankov# For example, according to a 50-year anniversary report about the 1967
1080f34ea95cSYuri Pankov# Detroit riots and a major-league doubleheader on 1967-07-23, "By the time
1081f34ea95cSYuri Pankov# the last fly ball of the doubleheader settled into the glove of leftfielder
1082f34ea95cSYuri Pankov# Lenny Green, it was after 7 p.m.  Detroit did not observe daylight saving
1083f34ea95cSYuri Pankov# time, so light was already starting to fail.  Twilight was made even deeper
1084f34ea95cSYuri Pankov# by billowing columns of smoke that ascended in an unbroken wall north of the
1085f34ea95cSYuri Pankov# ballpark."  See: Dow B. Detroit '67: As violence unfolded, Tigers played two

14842386db68SMarcel Telka#
14852386db68SMarcel Telka# Matthews and Vincent (1998) also write that Quebec east of the -63

15332386db68SMarcel Telka# says that Atikokan, Ontario currently does not observe DST,
15342386db68SMarcel Telka# but will vote on 11-10 whether to use EST/EDT.
15352386db68SMarcel Telka# He also writes that the Ontario Time Act (1990, Chapter T.9)
15362386db68SMarcel Telka# http://www.gov.on.ca/MBS/english/publications/statregs/conttext.html
15372386db68SMarcel Telka# says that Ontario east of 90W uses EST/EDT, and west of 90W uses CST/CDT.
15382386db68SMarcel Telka# Officially Atikokan is therefore on CST/CDT, and most likely this report
15392386db68SMarcel Telka# concerns a non-official time observed as a matter of local practice.

15412386db68SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
15422386db68SMarcel Telka# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Atikokan, Pickle Lake, and
15432386db68SMarcel Telka# New Osnaburgh observe CST all year, that Big Trout Lake observes

15472386db68SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2006-07-09):
15482386db68SMarcel Telka# Chris Walton (2006-07-06) mentioned an article by Stephanie MacLellan in the
15492386db68SMarcel Telka# 2005-07-21 Chronicle-Journal, which said:
15502386db68SMarcel Telka#
15512386db68SMarcel Telka#	The clocks in Atikokan stay set on standard time year-round.
15522386db68SMarcel Telka#	This means they spend about half the time on central time and
15532386db68SMarcel Telka#	the other half on eastern time.
15542386db68SMarcel Telka#
15552386db68SMarcel Telka#	For the most part, the system works, Mayor Dennis Brown said.
15562386db68SMarcel Telka#
15572386db68SMarcel Telka#	"The majority of businesses in Atikokan deal more with Eastern
15582386db68SMarcel Telka#	Canada, but there are some that deal with Western Canada," he
15592386db68SMarcel Telka#	said.  "I don't see any changes happening here."
15602386db68SMarcel Telka#
15612386db68SMarcel Telka# Walton also writes "Supposedly Pickle Lake and Mishkeegogamang
15622386db68SMarcel Telka# [New Osnaburgh] follow the same practice."
15632386db68SMarcel Telka
15642386db68SMarcel Telka# From Garry McKinnon (2006-07-14) via Chris Walton:
15652386db68SMarcel Telka# I chatted with a member of my board who has an outstanding memory
15662386db68SMarcel Telka# and a long history in Atikokan (and in the telecom industry) and he
15672386db68SMarcel Telka# can say for certain that Atikokan has been practicing the current
15682386db68SMarcel Telka# time keeping since 1952, at least.
15692386db68SMarcel Telka
15702386db68SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2006-07-17):
15712386db68SMarcel Telka# Shanks & Pottenger say that Atikokan has agreed with Rainy River
15722386db68SMarcel Telka# ever since standard time was introduced, but the information from
15732386db68SMarcel Telka# McKinnon sounds more authoritative.  For now, assume that Atikokan
15742386db68SMarcel Telka# switched to EST immediately after WWII era daylight saving time
15752386db68SMarcel Telka# ended.  This matches the old (less-populous) America/Coral_Harbour
15762386db68SMarcel Telka# entry since our cutoff date of 1970, so we can move
15772386db68SMarcel Telka# America/Coral_Harbour to the 'backward' file.

15932386db68SMarcel Telka# right corner of page 1, it says that Toronto will return to standard

15952386db68SMarcel Telka#
15962386db68SMarcel Telka#     The one-hour setback will go into effect throughout most of Ontario,
15972386db68SMarcel Telka#     except in areas like Windsor which remains on standard time all year.
15982386db68SMarcel Telka#
15992386db68SMarcel Telka# Windsor is, of course, a lot larger than Nipigon.
16002386db68SMarcel Telka#
16012386db68SMarcel Telka# I only came across this incidentally.  I don't know if Windsor began

16032386db68SMarcel Telka#
16042386db68SMarcel Telka# By the way, the article continues by noting that:
16052386db68SMarcel Telka#
16062386db68SMarcel Telka#     Some cities in the United States have pushed the deadline back
16072386db68SMarcel Telka#     three weeks and will change over from daylight saving in October.

16992386db68SMarcel Telka# From David Bryan via Tory Tronrud, Director/Curator,
17002386db68SMarcel Telka# Thunder Bay Museum (2003-11-12):
17012386db68SMarcel Telka# There is some suggestion, however, that, by-law or not, daylight
17022386db68SMarcel Telka# savings time was being practiced in Fort William and Port Arthur
17032386db68SMarcel Telka# before 1909.... [I]n 1910, the line between the Eastern and Central

17072386db68SMarcel Telka# already, did not change their clocks....  During the Second World

17432386db68SMarcel Telka# the old Manitoba Time Act - as amended by Bill 2, assented to
17442386db68SMarcel Telka# March 27, 1987 ... said ...
17452386db68SMarcel Telka# "between two o'clock Central Standard Time in the morning of

17492386db68SMarcel Telka# I believe that the English legislation [of the old time act] had

17512386db68SMarcel Telka# Also, as far as I can tell, there was no order-in-council varying
17522386db68SMarcel Telka# the time of Daylight Saving Time for 2005 and so the provisions of

17942386db68SMarcel Telka# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
17952386db68SMarcel Telka# The first actual adoption of DST in Canada was at the municipal
17962386db68SMarcel Telka# level.  As the [Toronto] Star put it (1912-06-07), "While people
17972386db68SMarcel Telka# elsewhere have long been talking of legislation to save daylight,
17982386db68SMarcel Telka# the city of Moose Jaw [Saskatchewan] has acted on its own hook."
17992386db68SMarcel Telka# DST in Moose Jaw began on Saturday, 1912-06-01 (no time mentioned:
18002386db68SMarcel Telka# presumably late evening, as below), and would run until "the end of
18012386db68SMarcel Telka# the summer".  The discrepancy between municipal time and railroad

18042386db68SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2003-07-27):

18092386db68SMarcel Telka# Shanks & Pottenger say that since 1970 this region has mostly been as Regina.
18102386db68SMarcel Telka# Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in 1972.
18112386db68SMarcel Telka# Other western towns (e.g. Lloydminster) are like Edmonton.
18122386db68SMarcel Telka# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Denare Beach and Creighton
18132386db68SMarcel Telka# are like Winnipeg, in violation of Saskatchewan law.
18142386db68SMarcel Telka
18152386db68SMarcel Telka# From W. Jones (1992-11-06):
18162386db68SMarcel Telka# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
18172386db68SMarcel Telka# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
18182386db68SMarcel Telka# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
18192386db68SMarcel Telka# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
18202386db68SMarcel Telka#
18212386db68SMarcel Telka# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
18222386db68SMarcel Telka# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
18232386db68SMarcel Telka# their affiliations in one direction or the other.  In 1965 a provincial
18242386db68SMarcel Telka# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
18252386db68SMarcel Telka#
18262386db68SMarcel Telka# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
18272386db68SMarcel Telka# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
18282386db68SMarcel Telka# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
18292386db68SMarcel Telka# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
18302386db68SMarcel Telka# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
18312386db68SMarcel Telka# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
18322386db68SMarcel Telka# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
18332386db68SMarcel Telka#
18342386db68SMarcel Telka# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
18352386db68SMarcel Telka# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
18362386db68SMarcel Telka# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
18372386db68SMarcel Telka# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
18382386db68SMarcel Telka# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
18392386db68SMarcel Telka# since sometime in the 1960s.
18402386db68SMarcel Telka
18412386db68SMarcel Telka# From Chris Walton (2006-06-26):
18422386db68SMarcel Telka# The Saskatchewan time act which was last updated in 1996 is about 30 pages

19092386db68SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
19102386db68SMarcel Telka# Shanks & Pottenger write that since 1970 most of this region has
19112386db68SMarcel Telka# been like Vancouver.
19122386db68SMarcel Telka# Dawson Creek uses MST.  Much of east BC is like Edmonton.
19132386db68SMarcel Telka# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Creston is like Dawson Creek.
19142386db68SMarcel Telka
19152386db68SMarcel Telka# It seems though that (re: Creston) is not entirely correct:
19162386db68SMarcel Telka
19172386db68SMarcel Telka# From Chris Walton (2011-12-01):
19182386db68SMarcel Telka# There are two areas within the Canadian province of British Columbia
19192386db68SMarcel Telka# that do not currently observe daylight saving:
19202386db68SMarcel Telka# a) The Creston Valley (includes the town of Creston and surrounding area)
19212386db68SMarcel Telka# b) The eastern half of the Peace River Regional District
19222386db68SMarcel Telka# (includes the cities of Dawson Creek and Fort St. John)
19232386db68SMarcel Telka
19242386db68SMarcel Telka# Earlier this year I stumbled across a detailed article about the time
19252386db68SMarcel Telka# keeping history of Creston; it was written by Tammy Hardwick who is the
19262386db68SMarcel Telka# manager of the Creston & District Museum. The article was written in May 2009.
19272386db68SMarcel Telka# http://www.ilovecreston.com/?p=articles&t=spec&ar=260
19282386db68SMarcel Telka# According to the article, Creston has not changed its clocks since June 1918.
19292cadd18dSYuri Pankov# i.e. Creston has been stuck on UT-7 for 93 years.
19302386db68SMarcel Telka# Dawson Creek, on the other hand, changed its clocks as recently as April 1972.
19312386db68SMarcel Telka
19322386db68SMarcel Telka# Unfortunately the exact date for the time change in June 1918 remains
19332386db68SMarcel Telka# unknown and will be difficult to ascertain.  I e-mailed Tammy a few months
19342386db68SMarcel Telka# ago to ask if Sunday June 2 was a reasonable guess.  She said it was just
19352386db68SMarcel Telka# as plausible as any other date (in June).  She also said that after writing
19362386db68SMarcel Telka# the article she had discovered another time change in 1916; this is the
19372386db68SMarcel Telka# subject of another article which she wrote in October 2010.
19382386db68SMarcel Telka# http://www.creston.museum.bc.ca/index.php?module=comments&uop=view_comment&cm+id=56
19392386db68SMarcel Telka
19402386db68SMarcel Telka# Here is a summary of the three clock change events in Creston's history:
19412386db68SMarcel Telka# 1. 1884 or 1885: adoption of Mountain Standard Time (GMT-7)
19422386db68SMarcel Telka# Exact date unknown
19432386db68SMarcel Telka# 2. Oct 1916: switch to Pacific Standard Time (GMT-8)
19442386db68SMarcel Telka# Exact date in October unknown; Sunday October 1 is a reasonable guess.
19452386db68SMarcel Telka# 3. June 1918: switch to Pacific Daylight Time (GMT-7)
19462386db68SMarcel Telka# Exact date in June unknown; Sunday June 2 is a reasonable guess.
19472386db68SMarcel Telka# note 1:
19482386db68SMarcel Telka# On Oct 27/1918 when daylight saving ended in the rest of Canada,
19492386db68SMarcel Telka# Creston did not change its clocks.
19502386db68SMarcel Telka# note 2:
19512386db68SMarcel Telka# During WWII when the Federal Government legislated a mandatory clock change,
19522386db68SMarcel Telka# Creston did not oblige.
19532386db68SMarcel Telka# note 3:
19542386db68SMarcel Telka# There is no guarantee that Creston will remain on Mountain Standard Time
19552386db68SMarcel Telka# (UTC-7) forever.
19562386db68SMarcel Telka# The subject was debated at least once this year by the town Council.
19572386db68SMarcel Telka# http://www.bclocalnews.com/kootenay_rockies/crestonvalleyadvance/news/116760809.html
19582386db68SMarcel Telka
19592386db68SMarcel Telka# During a period WWII, summer time (Daylight saying) was mandatory in Canada.
19602386db68SMarcel Telka# In Creston, that was handled by shifting the area to PST (-8:00) then applying
19612386db68SMarcel Telka# summer time to cause the offset to be -7:00, the same as it had been before
19622386db68SMarcel Telka# the change.  It can be argued that the timezone abbreviation during this
19632386db68SMarcel Telka# period should be PDT rather than MST, but that doesn't seem important enough
19642386db68SMarcel Telka# (to anyone) to further complicate the rules.
19652386db68SMarcel Telka
19662386db68SMarcel Telka# The transition dates (and times) are guesses.
19672386db68SMarcel Telka
19682386db68SMarcel Telka# From Matt Johnson (2015-09-21):
19692386db68SMarcel Telka# Fort Nelson, BC, Canada will cancel DST this year.  So while previously they
19702386db68SMarcel Telka# were aligned with America/Vancouver, they're now aligned with
19712386db68SMarcel Telka# America/Dawson_Creek.

19742386db68SMarcel Telka# From Tim Parenti (2015-09-23):
19752386db68SMarcel Telka# This requires a new zone for the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality,
19762386db68SMarcel Telka# America/Fort_Nelson.  The resolution of 2014-12-08 was reached following a
19772386db68SMarcel Telka# 2014-11-15 poll with nearly 75% support.  Effectively, the municipality has
19782386db68SMarcel Telka# been on MST (-0700) like Dawson Creek since it advanced its clocks on
19792386db68SMarcel Telka# 2015-03-08.
19802386db68SMarcel Telka#
19812386db68SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2015-09-23):
19822386db68SMarcel Telka# Shanks says Fort Nelson did not observe DST in 1946, unlike Vancouver.

21342386db68SMarcel Telka# From Antoine Leca (1999-09-06):
21352386db68SMarcel Telka# We then need to create a new timezone for the Kitikmeot region of Nunavut

21402386db68SMarcel Telka# http://www.nunavut.com/basicfacts/english/basicfacts_1territory.html
21412386db68SMarcel Telka# (1999) reports that Pangnirtung operates on eastern time,
21422386db68SMarcel Telka# and that Coral Harbour does not observe DST.  We don't know when
21432386db68SMarcel Telka# Pangnirtung switched to eastern time; we'll guess 1995.
21442386db68SMarcel Telka
21452386db68SMarcel Telka# From Rives McDow (1999-11-08):
21462386db68SMarcel Telka# On October 31, when the rest of Nunavut went to Central time,
21472386db68SMarcel Telka# Pangnirtung wobbled.  Here is the result of their wobble:
21482386db68SMarcel Telka#
21492386db68SMarcel Telka# The following businesses and organizations in Pangnirtung use Central Time:
21502386db68SMarcel Telka#
21512386db68SMarcel Telka#	First Air, Power Corp, Nunavut Construction, Health Center, RCMP,
21522386db68SMarcel Telka#	Eastern Arctic National Parks, A & D Specialist
21532386db68SMarcel Telka#
21542386db68SMarcel Telka# The following businesses and organizations in Pangnirtung use Eastern Time:
21552386db68SMarcel Telka#
21562386db68SMarcel Telka#	Hamlet office, All other businesses, Both schools, Airport operator
21572386db68SMarcel Telka#
21582386db68SMarcel Telka# This has made for an interesting situation there, which warranted the news.
21592386db68SMarcel Telka# No one there that I spoke with seems concerned, or has plans to
21602386db68SMarcel Telka# change the local methods of keeping time, as it evidently does not
21612386db68SMarcel Telka# really interfere with any activities or make things difficult locally.
21622386db68SMarcel Telka# They plan to celebrate New Year's turn-over twice, one hour apart,
21632386db68SMarcel Telka# so it appears that the situation will last at least that long.
21642386db68SMarcel Telka# The Nunavut Intergovernmental Affairs hopes that they will "come to
21652386db68SMarcel Telka# their senses", but the locals evidently don't see any problem with
21662386db68SMarcel Telka# the current state of affairs.

21682386db68SMarcel Telka# From Michaela Rodrigue, writing in the
21692386db68SMarcel Telka# Nunatsiaq News (1999-11-19):
2170f34ea95cSYuri Pankov# http://www.nunatsiaqonline.ca/archives/nunavut991130/nvt91119_17.html
21712386db68SMarcel Telka# Clyde River, Pangnirtung and Sanikiluaq now operate with two time zones,
21722386db68SMarcel Telka# central - or Nunavut time - for government offices, and eastern time
21732386db68SMarcel Telka# for municipal offices and schools....  Igloolik [was similar but then]
21742386db68SMarcel Telka# made the switch to central time on Saturday, Nov. 6.
21752386db68SMarcel Telka
21762386db68SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
21772386db68SMarcel Telka# Matthews and Vincent (1998) say the following, but we lack histories
21782386db68SMarcel Telka# for these potential new Zones.
21792386db68SMarcel Telka#
21802386db68SMarcel Telka# The Canadian Forces station at Alert uses Eastern Time while the
21812386db68SMarcel Telka# handful of residents at the Eureka weather station [in the Central
21822386db68SMarcel Telka# zone] skip daylight savings.  Baffin Island, which is crossed by the
21832386db68SMarcel Telka# Central, Eastern and Atlantic Time zones only uses Eastern Time.
21842386db68SMarcel Telka# Gjoa Haven, Taloyoak and Pelly Bay all use Mountain instead of
21852386db68SMarcel Telka# Central Time and Southampton Island [in the Central zone] is not
21862386db68SMarcel Telka# required to use daylight savings.

2188f34ea95cSYuri Pankov# From <http://www.nunatsiaqonline.ca/archives/nunavut001130/nvt21110_02.html>
21892386db68SMarcel Telka# Nunavut now has two time zones (2000-11-10):
21902386db68SMarcel Telka# The Nunavut government would allow its employees in Kugluktuk and
21912386db68SMarcel Telka# Cambridge Bay to operate on central time year-round, putting them
21922386db68SMarcel Telka# one hour behind the rest of Nunavut for six months during the winter.
21932386db68SMarcel Telka# At the end of October the two communities had rebelled against
21942386db68SMarcel Telka# Nunavut's unified time zone, refusing to shift to eastern time with
21952386db68SMarcel Telka# the rest of the territory for the winter.  Cambridge Bay remained on
21962386db68SMarcel Telka# central time, while Kugluktuk, even farther west, reverted to
21972386db68SMarcel Telka# mountain time, which they had used before the advent of Nunavut's
21982386db68SMarcel Telka# unified time zone in 1999.
21992386db68SMarcel Telka#
22002386db68SMarcel Telka# From Rives McDow (2001-01-20), quoting the Nunavut government:
22012386db68SMarcel Telka# The preceding decision came into effect at midnight, Saturday Nov 4, 2000.
22022386db68SMarcel Telka
22032386db68SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2000-12-04):
22042386db68SMarcel Telka# Let's just keep track of the official times for now.
22052386db68SMarcel Telka
22062386db68SMarcel Telka# From Rives McDow (2001-03-07):
22072386db68SMarcel Telka# The premier of Nunavut has issued a ministerial statement advising
22082386db68SMarcel Telka# that effective 2001-04-01, the territory of Nunavut will revert
22092386db68SMarcel Telka# back to three time zones (mountain, central, and eastern).  Of the
22102386db68SMarcel Telka# cities in Nunavut, Coral Harbor is the only one that I know of that
22112386db68SMarcel Telka# has said it will not observe dst, staying on EST year round.  I'm
22122386db68SMarcel Telka# checking for more info, and will get back to you if I come up with
22132386db68SMarcel Telka# more.

22152386db68SMarcel Telka
22162386db68SMarcel Telka# From Gwillim Law (2005-05-21):
22172386db68SMarcel Telka# According to ...
22182386db68SMarcel Telka# http://www.canadiangeographic.ca/Magazine/SO98/geomap.asp
22192386db68SMarcel Telka# (from a 1998 Canadian Geographic article), the de facto and de jure time
22202386db68SMarcel Telka# for Southampton Island (at the north end of Hudson Bay) is UTC-5 all year
22212386db68SMarcel Telka# round.  Using Google, it's easy to find other websites that confirm this.
22222386db68SMarcel Telka# I wasn't able to find how far back this time regimen goes, but since it
22232386db68SMarcel Telka# predates the creation of Nunavut, it probably goes back many years....
22242386db68SMarcel Telka# The Inuktitut name of Coral Harbour is Sallit, but it's rarely used.
22252386db68SMarcel Telka#
22262386db68SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2014-10-17):
22272386db68SMarcel Telka# For lack of better information, assume that Southampton Island observed
22282386db68SMarcel Telka# daylight saving only during wartime.  Gwillim Law's email also
22292386db68SMarcel Telka# mentioned maps now maintained by National Research Council Canada;
22302386db68SMarcel Telka# see above for an up-to-date link.
22312386db68SMarcel Telka
22322386db68SMarcel Telka# From Chris Walton (2007-03-01):
22332386db68SMarcel Telka# ... the community of Resolute (located on Cornwallis Island in
22342386db68SMarcel Telka# Nunavut) moved from Central Time to Eastern Time last November.
22352386db68SMarcel Telka# Basically the community did not change its clocks at the end of
22362386db68SMarcel Telka# daylight saving....
22372386db68SMarcel Telka# http://www.nnsl.com/frames/newspapers/2006-11/nov13_06none.html
22382386db68SMarcel Telka
22392386db68SMarcel Telka# From Chris Walton (2011-03-21):
22402386db68SMarcel Telka# Back in 2007 I initiated the creation of a new "zone file" for Resolute
22412386db68SMarcel Telka# Bay. Resolute Bay is a small community located about 900km north of
22422386db68SMarcel Telka# the Arctic Circle. The zone file was required because Resolute Bay had
22432386db68SMarcel Telka# decided to use UTC-5 instead of UTC-6 for the winter of 2006-2007.
22442386db68SMarcel Telka#
22452386db68SMarcel Telka# According to new information which I received last week, Resolute Bay
22462386db68SMarcel Telka# went back to using UTC-6 in the winter of 2007-2008...
22472386db68SMarcel Telka#
22482386db68SMarcel Telka# On March 11/2007 most of Canada went onto daylight saving. On March
22492386db68SMarcel Telka# 14/2007 I phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office to do a "time check." I
22502386db68SMarcel Telka# talked to somebody that was both knowledgeable and helpful. I was able
22512386db68SMarcel Telka# to confirm that Resolute Bay was still operating on UTC-5. It was
22522386db68SMarcel Telka# explained to me that Resolute Bay had been on the Eastern Time zone
22532386db68SMarcel Telka# (EST) in the winter, and was now back on the Central Time zone (CDT).
22542386db68SMarcel Telka# i.e. the time zone had changed twice in the last year but the clocks
22552386db68SMarcel Telka# had not moved. The residents had to know which time zone they were in
22562386db68SMarcel Telka# so they could follow the correct TV schedule...
22572386db68SMarcel Telka#
22582386db68SMarcel Telka# On Nov 02/2008 most of Canada went onto standard time. On Nov 03/2008 I
22592386db68SMarcel Telka# phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office...[D]ue to the challenging nature
22602386db68SMarcel Telka# of the phone call, I decided to seek out an alternate source of
22612386db68SMarcel Telka# information. I found an e-mail address for somebody by the name of
22622386db68SMarcel Telka# Stephanie Adams whose job was listed as "Inns North Support Officer for
22632386db68SMarcel Telka# Arctic Co-operatives." I was under the impression that Stephanie lived
22642386db68SMarcel Telka# and worked in Resolute Bay...
22652386db68SMarcel Telka#
22662386db68SMarcel Telka# On March 14/2011 I phoned the hamlet office again. I was told that
22672386db68SMarcel Telka# Resolute Bay had been using Central Standard Time over the winter of
22682386db68SMarcel Telka# 2010-2011 and that the clocks had therefore been moved one hour ahead
22692386db68SMarcel Telka# on March 13/2011. The person I talked to was aware that Resolute Bay
22702386db68SMarcel Telka# had previously experimented with Eastern Standard Time but he could not
22712386db68SMarcel Telka# tell me when the practice had stopped.
22722386db68SMarcel Telka#
22732386db68SMarcel Telka# On March 17/2011 I searched the Web to find an e-mail address of
22742386db68SMarcel Telka# somebody that might be able to tell me exactly when Resolute Bay went
22752386db68SMarcel Telka# off Eastern Standard Time. I stumbled on the name "Aziz Kheraj." Aziz
22762386db68SMarcel Telka# used to be the mayor of Resolute Bay and he apparently owns half the
22772386db68SMarcel Telka# businesses including "South Camp Inn." This website has some info on
22782386db68SMarcel Telka# Aziz:
22792386db68SMarcel Telka# http://www.uphere.ca/node/493
22802386db68SMarcel Telka#
22812386db68SMarcel Telka# I sent Aziz an e-mail asking when Resolute Bay had stopped using
22822386db68SMarcel Telka# Eastern Standard Time.
22832386db68SMarcel Telka#
22842386db68SMarcel Telka# Aziz responded quickly with this: "hi, The time was not changed for the
22852386db68SMarcel Telka# 1 year only, the following year, the community went back to the old way
22862386db68SMarcel Telka# of "spring ahead-fall behind" currently we are zulu plus 5 hrs and in
22872386db68SMarcel Telka# the winter Zulu plus 6 hrs"
22882386db68SMarcel Telka#
22892386db68SMarcel Telka# This of course conflicted with everything I had ascertained in November 2008.
22902386db68SMarcel Telka#
22912386db68SMarcel Telka# I sent Aziz a copy of my 2008 e-mail exchange with Stephanie. Aziz
22922386db68SMarcel Telka# responded with this: "Hi, Stephanie lives in Winnipeg. I live here, You
22932386db68SMarcel Telka# may want to check with the weather office in Resolute Bay or do a
22942386db68SMarcel Telka# search on the weather through Env. Canada. web site"
22952386db68SMarcel Telka#
22962386db68SMarcel Telka# If I had realized the Stephanie did not live in Resolute Bay I would
22972386db68SMarcel Telka# never have contacted her.  I now believe that all the information I
22982386db68SMarcel Telka# obtained in November 2008 should be ignored...
22992386db68SMarcel Telka# I apologize for reporting incorrect information in 2008.

24852386db68SMarcel Telka# Mexico's Supreme Court on Tuesday declared that daylight savings was

24872386db68SMarcel Telka# capital will be in a different time zone from the rest of the nation
24882386db68SMarcel Telka# next year....  The Supreme Court's ruling takes effect at 2:00
24892386db68SMarcel Telka# a.m. (0800 GMT) on Sept. 30, when Mexico is scheduled to revert to
24902386db68SMarcel Telka# standard time. "This is so residents of the Federal District are not

27412386db68SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
27422386db68SMarcel Telka# Formerly there was an America/Ensenada zone, which differed from
27432386db68SMarcel Telka# America/Tijuana only in that it did not observe DST from 1976
27442386db68SMarcel Telka# through 1995.  This was as per Shanks (1999).  But Shanks & Pottenger say
27452386db68SMarcel Telka# Ensenada did not observe DST from 1948 through 1975.  Guy Harris reports
27462386db68SMarcel Telka# that the 1987 OAG says "Only Ensenada, Mexicali, San Felipe and
27472386db68SMarcel Telka# Tijuana observe DST," which agrees with Shanks & Pottenger but implies that
27482386db68SMarcel Telka# DST-observance was a town-by-town matter back then.  This concerns
27492386db68SMarcel Telka# data after 1970 so most likely there should be at least one Zone
27502386db68SMarcel Telka# other than America/Tijuana for Baja, but it's not clear yet what its
27512386db68SMarcel Telka# name or contents should be.
