His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC, 285d0e1406SMarcel Telka# but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich. 295d0e1406SMarcel Telka 30a6c652dbSYuri Pankov# From Paul Eggert (2018-03-20): 315d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Dowd's proposal left many details unresolved, such as where to draw 325d0e1406SMarcel Telka# lines between time zones. The key individual who made time zones 335d0e1406SMarcel Telka# work in the US was William Frederick Allen - railway engineer, 345d0e1406SMarcel Telka# managing editor of the Travelers' Guide, and secretary of the 355d0e1406SMarcel Telka# General Time Convention, a railway standardization group. Allen 365d0e1406SMarcel Telka# spent months in dialogs with scientific and railway leaders, 375d0e1406SMarcel Telka# developed a workable plan to institute time zones, and presented it 385d0e1406SMarcel Telka# to the General Time Convention on 1883-04-11, saying that his plan 395d0e1406SMarcel Telka# meant "local time would be practically abolished" - a plus for 405d0e1406SMarcel Telka# railway scheduling. By the next convention on 1883-10-11 nearly all 41a6c652dbSYuri Pankov# railroads had agreed and it took effect on 1883-11-18. That Sunday 42a6c652dbSYuri Pankov# was called the "day of two noons", as some locations observed noon 43a6c652dbSYuri Pankov# twice. Allen witnessed the transition in New York City, writing: 445d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 455d0e1406SMarcel Telka# I heard the bells of St. Paul's strike on the old time. Four 465d0e1406SMarcel Telka# minutes later, obedient to the electrical signal from the Naval 475d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Observatory ... the time-ball made its rapid descent, the chimes 485d0e1406SMarcel Telka# of old Trinity rang twelve measured strokes, and local time was 495d0e1406SMarcel Telka# abandoned, probably forever. 505d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 515d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Most of the US soon followed suit.

Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition), 625d0e1406SMarcel Telka# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991). 635d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Make sure you have the errata sheet; the book is somewhat useless without it. 645d0e1406SMarcel Telka# It is the source for most of the pre-1991 US entries below. 655d0e1406SMarcel Telka 665d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06): 675d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Daylight Saving Time was first suggested as a joke by Benjamin Franklin 685d0e1406SMarcel Telka# in his whimsical essay "An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost 695d0e1406SMarcel Telka# of Light" published in the Journal de Paris (1784-04-26). 705d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Not everyone is happy with the results: 715d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 725d0e1406SMarcel Telka# I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some 735d0e1406SMarcel Telka# agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving 745d0e1406SMarcel Telka# daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind. 755d0e1406SMarcel Telka# I even object to the implication that I am wasting something 765d0e1406SMarcel Telka# valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen. As an admirer 775d0e1406SMarcel Telka# of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to 785d0e1406SMarcel Telka# reduce my time for enjoying it. At the back of the Daylight Saving 795d0e1406SMarcel Telka# scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager 805d0e1406SMarcel Telka# to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make 815d0e1406SMarcel Telka# them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves. 825d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 835d0e1406SMarcel Telka# -- Robertson Davies, The diary of Samuel Marchbanks, 845d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Clarke, Irwin (1947), XIX, Sunday 855d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 865d0e1406SMarcel Telka# For more about the first ten years of DST in the United States, see 875d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Robert Garland, Ten years of daylight saving from the Pittsburgh standpoint 885d0e1406SMarcel Telka# (Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, 1927). 894dcbd0a1SAndy Fiddaman# https://web.archive.org/web/20160517155308/http://www.clpgh.org/exhibit/dst.html 905d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 915d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919. 925d0e1406SMarcel Telka# However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which 935d0e1406SMarcel Telka# was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently 945d0e1406SMarcel Telka# time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time". 955d0e1406SMarcel Telka 968a907646SAndy Fiddaman# From Paul Eggert (2019-06-04): 978a907646SAndy Fiddaman# Here is the legal basis for the US federal rules. 988a907646SAndy Fiddaman# * Public Law 65-106 (1918-03-19) implemented standard and daylight saving 998a907646SAndy Fiddaman# time for the first time across the US, springing forward on March's last 1008a907646SAndy Fiddaman# Sunday and falling back on October's last Sunday. 1018a907646SAndy Fiddaman# https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/65th-congress/session-2/c65s2ch24.pdf 1028a907646SAndy Fiddaman# * Public Law 66-40 (1919-08-20) repealed DST on October 1919's last Sunday. 1038a907646SAndy Fiddaman# https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/66th-congress/session-1/c66s1ch51.pdf 1048a907646SAndy Fiddaman# * Public Law 77-403 (1942-01-20) started wartime DST on 1942-02-09. 1058a907646SAndy Fiddaman# https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/77th-congress/session-2/c77s2ch7.pdf 1068a907646SAndy Fiddaman# * Public Law 79-187 (1945-09-25) ended wartime DST on 1945-09-30. 1078a907646SAndy Fiddaman# https://www.loc.gov/law/help/statutes-at-large/79th-congress/session-1/c79s1ch388.pdf 1088a907646SAndy Fiddaman# * Public Law 89-387 (1966-04-13) reinstituted a national standard for DST, 1098a907646SAndy Fiddaman# from April's last Sunday to October's last Sunday, effective 1967. 1108a907646SAndy Fiddaman# https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-80/pdf/STATUTE-80-Pg107.pdf 1118a907646SAndy Fiddaman# * Public Law 93-182 (1973-12-15) moved the 1974 spring-forward to 01-06. 1128a907646SAndy Fiddaman# https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-87/pdf/STATUTE-87-Pg707.pdf 1138a907646SAndy Fiddaman# * Public Law 93-434 (1974-10-05) moved the 1975 spring-forward to 1148a907646SAndy Fiddaman# February's last Sunday. 1158a907646SAndy Fiddaman# https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-88/pdf/STATUTE-88-Pg1209.pdf 1168a907646SAndy Fiddaman# * Public Law 99-359 (1986-07-08) moved the spring-forward to April's first 1178a907646SAndy Fiddaman# Sunday. 1188a907646SAndy Fiddaman# https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-100/pdf/STATUTE-100-Pg764.pdf 1198a907646SAndy Fiddaman# * Public Law 109-58 (2005-08-08), effective 2007, moved the spring-forward 1208a907646SAndy Fiddaman# to March's second Sunday and the fall-back to November's first Sunday. 1218a907646SAndy Fiddaman# https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-109publ58/pdf/PLAW-109publ58.pdf 1228a907646SAndy Fiddaman# All transitions are at 02:00 local time. 1235d0e1406SMarcel Telka 1245d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Arthur David Olson: 1255d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of 1265d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime. 1275d0e1406SMarcel Telka 1285d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25): 1295d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama. 1305d0e1406SMarcel Telka# In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time." 1315d0e1406SMarcel Telka# An AltaVista search turned up: 1325ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# https://web.archive.org/web/20000926032210/http://rowayton.org/rhs/hstaug45.html 1335d0e1406SMarcel Telka# "When the time is announced over the radio now, it is 'Eastern Peace 1345d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.'

Douglas, _The Early Days of Radio Broadcasting_ (1987): 1425d0e1406SMarcel Telka# At 7 P.M. (Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set 1435d0e1406SMarcel Telka# to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people 1445d0e1406SMarcel Telka# never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account, 1455d0e1406SMarcel Telka# CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender, 1465d0e1406SMarcel Telka# but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word 1475d0e1406SMarcel Telka# of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in 1485d0e1406SMarcel Telka# London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech. 1495d0e1406SMarcel Telka 1505d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout. From 1515d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times: 1525d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 1535d0e1406SMarcel Telka# ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender. 1545d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a 1555d0e1406SMarcel Telka# wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news. 1565d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out 1575d0e1406SMarcel Telka# typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental 1585d0e1406SMarcel Telka# importance." 1595d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 1605d0e1406SMarcel Telka# On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open 1615d0e1406SMarcel Telka# microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell, 1625d0e1406SMarcel Telka# before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over. 1635d0e1406SMarcel Telka# The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms." 1645d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 1655d0e1406SMarcel Telka# He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters. 1665d0e1406SMarcel Telka 1675d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Arthur David Olson (2005-08-22): 1685d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Paul has been careful to use the "US" rules only in those locations 1695d0e1406SMarcel Telka# that are part of the United States; this reflects the real scope of 1705d0e1406SMarcel Telka# U.S. government action. So even though the "US" rules have changed 1715d0e1406SMarcel Telka# in the latest release, other countries won't be affected. 1725d0e1406SMarcel Telka 173c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# Rule NAME FROM TO - IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S 1745d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule US 1918 1919 - Mar lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1755d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule US 1918 1919 - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1765d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule US 1942 only - Feb 9 2:00 1:00 W # War 1775d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule US 1945 only - Aug 14 23:00u 1:00 P # Peace 1788a907646SAndy FiddamanRule US 1945 only - Sep 30 2:00 0 S 1795d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule US 1967 2006 - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1805d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule US 1967 1973 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1815d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule US 1974 only - Jan 6 2:00 1:00 D 1828a907646SAndy FiddamanRule US 1975 only - Feb lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1835d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule US 1976 1986 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1845d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule US 1987 2006 - Apr Sun>=1 2:00 1:00 D 1855d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule US 2007 max - Mar Sun>=8 2:00 1:00 D 1865d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule US 2007 max - Nov Sun>=1 2:00 0 S 1875d0e1406SMarcel Telka 1885d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Arthur David Olson, 2005-12-19 1895d0e1406SMarcel Telka# We generate the files specified below to guard against old files with 1905d0e1406SMarcel Telka# obsolete information being left in the time zone binary directory. 1915d0e1406SMarcel Telka# We limit the list to names that have appeared in previous versions of 1925d0e1406SMarcel Telka# this time zone package. 1935d0e1406SMarcel Telka# We do these as separate Zones rather than as Links to avoid problems if 1945d0e1406SMarcel Telka# a particular place changes whether it observes DST. 1955d0e1406SMarcel Telka# We put these specifications here in the northamerica file both to 1965d0e1406SMarcel Telka# increase the chances that they'll actually get compiled and to 1975d0e1406SMarcel Telka# avoid the need to duplicate the US rules in another file. 1985d0e1406SMarcel Telka 1998a907646SAndy Fiddaman# Zone NAME STDOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 2005d0e1406SMarcel TelkaZone EST -5:00 - EST 2015d0e1406SMarcel TelkaZone MST -7:00 - MST 2025d0e1406SMarcel TelkaZone HST -10:00 - HST 2035d0e1406SMarcel TelkaZone EST5EDT -5:00 US E%sT 2045d0e1406SMarcel TelkaZone CST6CDT -6:00 US C%sT 2055d0e1406SMarcel TelkaZone MST7MDT -7:00 US M%sT 2065d0e1406SMarcel TelkaZone PST8PDT -8:00 US P%sT 2075d0e1406SMarcel Telka 2085d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From U.

Half the 11705d0e1406SMarcel Telka# city obeyed, half refused. After considerable debate, the decision 11715d0e1406SMarcel Telka# was rescinded and the city reverted to Sun time.

Then, in 1905, Central time was adopted 11745d0e1406SMarcel Telka# by city vote. 11755d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 11765d0e1406SMarcel Telka# This story is too entertaining to be false, so go with Howse over Shanks. 11775d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 11785d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06): 11795d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Garland (1927) writes "Cleveland and Detroit advanced their clocks 11805d0e1406SMarcel Telka# one hour in 1914."

This was big news: 11878a907646SAndy Fiddaman# the Detroit Free Press reported it at the top of Page 1 on 11888a907646SAndy Fiddaman# 1967-06-14, in an article "State Adjusting to Switch to Fast Time" 11898a907646SAndy Fiddaman# by Gary Blonston, above an article about Thurgood Marshall's 11908a907646SAndy Fiddaman# confirmation to the US Supreme Court. Although Shanks says Detroit 11918a907646SAndy Fiddaman# observed DST until 1967-10-29 00:01, that time of day seems to be 11928a907646SAndy Fiddaman# incorrect, as the Free Press later said DST ended in Michigan at the 11938a907646SAndy Fiddaman# same time as the rest of the US. Also, although Shanks reports no DST in 11948a907646SAndy Fiddaman# Detroit in 1968, it did observe DST that year; in the November 1968 11958a907646SAndy Fiddaman# election Michigan voters narrowly repealed DST, effective 1969. 11965ee0bd13SYuri Pankov# 11975d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Most of Michigan observed DST from 1973 on, but was a bit late in 1975. 1198c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# Rule NAME FROM TO - IN ON AT SAVE LETTER 11995d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule Detroit 1948 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 12005d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule Detroit 1948 only - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 12018a907646SAndy Fiddaman# Zone NAME STDOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 12025d0e1406SMarcel TelkaZone America/Detroit -5:32:11 - LMT 1905 12035d0e1406SMarcel Telka -6:00 - CST 1915 May 15 2:00 12045d0e1406SMarcel Telka -5:00 - EST 1942 12055d0e1406SMarcel Telka -5:00 US E%sT 1946 12068a907646SAndy Fiddaman -5:00 Detroit E%sT 1967 Jun 14 0:01 12078a907646SAndy Fiddaman -5:00 US E%sT 1969 12088a907646SAndy Fiddaman -5:00 - EST 1973 12095d0e1406SMarcel Telka -5:00 US E%sT 1975 12105d0e1406SMarcel Telka -5:00 - EST 1975 Apr 27 2:00 12115d0e1406SMarcel Telka -5:00 US E%sT 12125d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 12135d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Dickinson, Gogebic, Iron, and Menominee Counties, Michigan, 12145d0e1406SMarcel Telka# switched from EST to CST/CDT in 1973. 1215c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# Rule NAME FROM TO - IN ON AT SAVE LETTER 12165d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule Menominee 1946 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 12175d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule Menominee 1946 only - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 12185d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule Menominee 1966 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 12195d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule Menominee 1966 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 12208a907646SAndy Fiddaman# Zone NAME STDOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 12215d0e1406SMarcel TelkaZone America/Menominee -5:50:27 - LMT 1885 Sep 18 12:00 12225d0e1406SMarcel Telka -6:00 US C%sT 1946 12235d0e1406SMarcel Telka -6:00 Menominee C%sT 1969 Apr 27 2:00 12245d0e1406SMarcel Telka -5:00 - EST 1973 Apr 29 2:00 12255d0e1406SMarcel Telka -6:00 US C%sT 12265d0e1406SMarcel Telka 12275d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Navassa 12285d0e1406SMarcel Telka# administered by the US Fish and Wildlife Service 12295d0e1406SMarcel Telka# claimed by US under the provisions of the 1856 Guano Islands Act 12305d0e1406SMarcel Telka# also claimed by Haiti 12315d0e1406SMarcel Telka# occupied 1857/1900 by the Navassa Phosphate Co 12325d0e1406SMarcel Telka# US lighthouse 1917/1996-09 12335d0e1406SMarcel Telka# currently uninhabited 12345d0e1406SMarcel Telka# see Mark Fineman, "An Isle Rich in Guano and Discord", 12355d0e1406SMarcel Telka# _Los Angeles Times_ (1998-11-10), A1, A10; it cites 12365d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Jimmy Skaggs, _The Great Guano Rush_ (1994). 12375d0e1406SMarcel Telka 12385d0e1406SMarcel Telka################################################################################ 12395d0e1406SMarcel Telka 12405d0e1406SMarcel Telka 12418d30ff13SDan McDonald# From Paul Eggert (2017-02-10): 12425d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 12435d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is: 12445d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Thomas G.

T-14, Revised Statutes of 18255d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern 18265d0e1406SMarcel Telka# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in 18275d0e1406SMarcel Telka# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to 18285d0e1406SMarcel Telka# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and 18295d0e1406SMarcel Telka# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would 18305d0e1406SMarcel Telka# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST. 18315d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 18325d0e1406SMarcel Telka# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town 18335d0e1406SMarcel Telka# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to 18345d0e1406SMarcel Telka# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only 18355d0e1406SMarcel Telka# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT 18365d0e1406SMarcel Telka# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round 18375d0e1406SMarcel Telka# since sometime in the 1960s. 18385d0e1406SMarcel Telka 18395d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Chris Walton (2006-06-26): 18405d0e1406SMarcel Telka# The Saskatchewan time act which was last updated in 1996 is about 30 pages 18415d0e1406SMarcel Telka# long and rather painful to read. 18425d0e1406SMarcel Telka# http://www.qp.gov.sk.ca/documents/English/Statutes/Statutes/T14.pdf 18435d0e1406SMarcel Telka 1844c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# Rule NAME FROM TO - IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S 18455d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule Regina 1918 only - Apr 14 2:00 1:00 D 18465d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule Regina 1918 only - Oct 27 2:00 0 S 18475d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule Regina 1930 1934 - May Sun>=1 0:00 1:00 D 18485d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule Regina 1930 1934 - Oct Sun>=1 0:00 0 S 18495d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule Regina 1937 1941 - Apr Sun>=8 0:00 1:00 D 18505d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule Regina 1937 only - Oct Sun>=8 0:00 0 S 18515d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule Regina 1938 only - Oct Sun>=1 0:00 0 S 18525d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule Regina 1939 1941 - Oct Sun>=8 0:00 0 S 18535d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule Regina 1942 only - Feb 9 2:00 1:00 W # War 18545d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule Regina 1945 only - Aug 14 23:00u 1:00 P # Peace 18555d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule Regina 1945 only - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 18565d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule Regina 1946 only - Apr Sun>=8 2:00 1:00 D 18575d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule Regina 1946 only - Oct Sun>=8 2:00 0 S 18585d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule Regina 1947 1957 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 18595d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule Regina 1947 1957 - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 18605d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule Regina 1959 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 18615d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule Regina 1959 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 18625d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 18635d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule Swift 1957 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 18645d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule Swift 1957 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 18655d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule Swift 1959 1961 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 18665d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule Swift 1959 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 18675d0e1406SMarcel TelkaRule Swift 1960 1961 - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 18688a907646SAndy Fiddaman# Zone NAME STDOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 18695d0e1406SMarcel TelkaZone America/Regina -6:58:36 - LMT 1905 Sep 18705d0e1406SMarcel Telka -7:00 Regina M%sT 1960 Apr lastSun 2:00 18715d0e1406SMarcel Telka -6:00 - CST 18725d0e1406SMarcel TelkaZone America/Swift_Current -7:11:20 - LMT 1905 Sep 18735d0e1406SMarcel Telka -7:00 Canada M%sT 1946 Apr lastSun 2:00 18745d0e1406SMarcel Telka -7:00 Regina M%sT 1950 18755d0e1406SMarcel Telka -7:00 Swift M%sT 1972 Apr lastSun 2:00 18765d0e1406SMarcel Telka -6:00 - CST 18775d0e1406SMarcel Telka 18785d0e1406SMarcel Telka 18795d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Alberta 18805d0e1406SMarcel Telka 1881743cf225SAndy Fiddaman# From Alois Treindl (2019-07-19): 18828a907646SAndy Fiddaman# There was no DST in Alberta in 1967...

Cambridge Bay remained on 21595d0e1406SMarcel Telka# central time, while Kugluktuk, even farther west, reverted to 21605d0e1406SMarcel Telka# mountain time, which they had used before the advent of Nunavut's 21615d0e1406SMarcel Telka# unified time zone in 1999. 21625d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 21635d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Rives McDow (2001-01-20), quoting the Nunavut government: 21645d0e1406SMarcel Telka# The preceding decision came into effect at midnight, Saturday Nov 4, 2000. 21655d0e1406SMarcel Telka 21665d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2000-12-04): 21675d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Let's just keep track of the official times for now. 21685d0e1406SMarcel Telka 21695d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Rives McDow (2001-03-07): 21705d0e1406SMarcel Telka# The premier of Nunavut has issued a ministerial statement advising 21715d0e1406SMarcel Telka# that effective 2001-04-01, the territory of Nunavut will revert 21725d0e1406SMarcel Telka# back to three time zones (mountain, central, and eastern). Of the 21735d0e1406SMarcel Telka# cities in Nunavut, Coral Harbor is the only one that I know of that 21745d0e1406SMarcel Telka# has said it will not observe dst, staying on EST year round. I'm 21755d0e1406SMarcel Telka# checking for more info, and will get back to you if I come up with 21765d0e1406SMarcel Telka# more. 21775d0e1406SMarcel Telka# [Also see <http://www.nunatsiaq.com/nunavut/nvt10309_06.html> (2001-03-09).] 21785d0e1406SMarcel Telka 21795d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Gwillim Law (2005-05-21): 21805d0e1406SMarcel Telka# According to ... 21815d0e1406SMarcel Telka# http://www.canadiangeographic.ca/Magazine/SO98/geomap.asp 21825d0e1406SMarcel Telka# (from a 1998 Canadian Geographic article), the de facto and de jure time 21835d0e1406SMarcel Telka# for Southampton Island (at the north end of Hudson Bay) is UTC-5 all year 21845d0e1406SMarcel Telka# round. Using Google, it's easy to find other websites that confirm this. 21855d0e1406SMarcel Telka# I wasn't able to find how far back this time regimen goes, but since it 21865d0e1406SMarcel Telka# predates the creation of Nunavut, it probably goes back many years.... 21875d0e1406SMarcel Telka# The Inuktitut name of Coral Harbour is Sallit, but it's rarely used. 21885d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 21895d0e1406SMarcel Telka# From Paul Eggert (2014-10-17): 21905d0e1406SMarcel Telka# For lack of better information, assume that Southampton Island observed 21915d0e1406SMarcel Telka# daylight saving only during wartime.

Resolute Bay is a small community located about 900km north of 22055d0e1406SMarcel Telka# the Arctic Circle. The zone file was required because Resolute Bay had 22065d0e1406SMarcel Telka# decided to use UTC-5 instead of UTC-6 for the winter of 2006-2007. 22075d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 22085d0e1406SMarcel Telka# According to new information which I received last week, Resolute Bay 22095d0e1406SMarcel Telka# went back to using UTC-6 in the winter of 2007-2008... 22105d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 22115d0e1406SMarcel Telka# On March 11/2007 most of Canada went onto daylight saving. On March 22125d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 14/2007 I phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office to do a "time check." I 22135d0e1406SMarcel Telka# talked to somebody that was both knowledgeable and helpful. I was able 22145d0e1406SMarcel Telka# to confirm that Resolute Bay was still operating on UTC-5. It was 22155d0e1406SMarcel Telka# explained to me that Resolute Bay had been on the Eastern Time zone 22165d0e1406SMarcel Telka# (EST) in the winter, and was now back on the Central Time zone (CDT). 22175d0e1406SMarcel Telka# i.e. the time zone had changed twice in the last year but the clocks 22185d0e1406SMarcel Telka# had not moved. The residents had to know which time zone they were in 22195d0e1406SMarcel Telka# so they could follow the correct TV schedule... 22205d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 22215d0e1406SMarcel Telka# On Nov 02/2008 most of Canada went onto standard time. On Nov 03/2008 I 22225d0e1406SMarcel Telka# phoned the Resolute Bay hamlet office...[D]ue to the challenging nature 22235d0e1406SMarcel Telka# of the phone call, I decided to seek out an alternate source of 22245d0e1406SMarcel Telka# information. I found an e-mail address for somebody by the name of 22255d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Stephanie Adams whose job was listed as "Inns North Support Officer for 22265d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Arctic Co-operatives." I was under the impression that Stephanie lived 22275d0e1406SMarcel Telka# and worked in Resolute Bay... 22285d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 22295d0e1406SMarcel Telka# On March 14/2011 I phoned the hamlet office again. I was told that 22305d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Resolute Bay had been using Central Standard Time over the winter of 22315d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 2010-2011 and that the clocks had therefore been moved one hour ahead 22325d0e1406SMarcel Telka# on March 13/2011. The person I talked to was aware that Resolute Bay 22335d0e1406SMarcel Telka# had previously experimented with Eastern Standard Time but he could not 22345d0e1406SMarcel Telka# tell me when the practice had stopped. 22355d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 22365d0e1406SMarcel Telka# On March 17/2011 I searched the Web to find an e-mail address of 22375d0e1406SMarcel Telka# somebody that might be able to tell me exactly when Resolute Bay went 22385d0e1406SMarcel Telka# off Eastern Standard Time. I stumbled on the name "Aziz Kheraj." Aziz 22395d0e1406SMarcel Telka# used to be the mayor of Resolute Bay and he apparently owns half the 22405d0e1406SMarcel Telka# businesses including "South Camp Inn." This website has some info on 22415d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Aziz: 22425d0e1406SMarcel Telka# http://www.uphere.ca/node/493 22435d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 22445d0e1406SMarcel Telka# I sent Aziz an e-mail asking when Resolute Bay had stopped using 22455d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Eastern Standard Time. 22465d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 22475d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Aziz responded quickly with this: "hi, The time was not changed for the 22485d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 1 year only, the following year, the community went back to the old way 22495d0e1406SMarcel Telka# of "spring ahead-fall behind" currently we are zulu plus 5 hrs and in 22505d0e1406SMarcel Telka# the winter Zulu plus 6 hrs" 22515d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 22525d0e1406SMarcel Telka# This of course conflicted with everything I had ascertained in November 2008. 22535d0e1406SMarcel Telka# 22545d0e1406SMarcel Telka# I sent Aziz a copy of my 2008 e-mail exchange with Stephanie. Aziz 22555d0e1406SMarcel Telka# responded with this: "Hi, Stephanie lives in Winnipeg. I live here, You 22565d0e1406SMarcel Telka# may want to check with the weather office in Resolute Bay or do a 22575d0e1406SMarcel Telka# search on the weather through Env.

The 3593c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# order states that "the standard time to be observed throughout the Turks and 3594c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# Caicos Islands shall be the same time zone as the Eastern United States of 3595c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# America" and further clarifies "[f]or the avoidance of doubt" that it 3596c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# "applies to the Eastern Standard Time as well as any changes thereto for 3597c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# Daylight Saving Time." However, as clocks in Turks and Caicos approached 3598c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# 02:00 -04, and thus the declared implementation time, it was still 01:00 EST 3599c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# (-05), as DST in the Eastern US would not start until an hour later. 3600c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# 3601c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# Since it is unlikely that those on the islands switched their clocks twice in 3602c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# the span of an hour, we assume instead that the adoption of EDT actually took 3603c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# effect once clocks in the Eastern US had sprung forward, from 03:00 -04. 3604c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# This discrepancy only affects the time zone abbreviation and DST flag for the 3605c5580037SRobert Mustacchi# intervening hour, not wall clock times, as -04 was maintained throughout. 3606c5580037SRobert Mustacchi 36078a907646SAndy Fiddaman# Zone NAME STDOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 36085d0e1406SMarcel TelkaZone America/Grand_Turk -4:44:32 - LMT 1890 3609639e6f6dSAndy Fiddaman #STDOFF -5:07:10.41 3610a6c652dbSYuri Pankov -5:07:10 - KMT 1912 Feb # Kingston Mean Time 36115d0e1406SMarcel Telka -5:00 - EST 1979 3612c5580037SRobert Mustacchi -5:00 US E%sT 2015 Mar 8 2:00 36135ee0bd13SYuri Pankov -4:00 - AST 2018 Mar 11 3:00 36145ee0bd13SYuri Pankov -5:00 US E%sT 36155d0e1406SMarcel Telka 36165d0e1406SMarcel Telka# Local Variables: 36175d0e1406SMarcel Telka# coding: utf-8 36185d0e1406SMarcel Telka# End: 3619
