Jones (jones@skdad.usask.ca) (November 6, 1992): +# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the +# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department. +# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and +# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother. +# +# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years +# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated +# their affiliations in one direction or the other. In 1965 a provincial +# referendum favoured legislating common time practices. +# +# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of +# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern +# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in +# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to +# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and +# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would +# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST. +# +# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town +# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to +# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only +# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT +# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round +# since sometime in the 1960s. +# +# Here's how I would summarize things. Establish a "Saskatchewan" CST +# time zone, and note that it officially exists as of 15 April 1966. Any +# current exceptions can put themselves in the "Mountain" zone, since +# those are the rules they follow. Any past exceptions can be forgotten, +# since that's what those who live here have done. + +# From Arthur David Olson (November 21, 1992): +# East-Saskatchewan kept to avoid problems for folks using that zone by name; +# plain Saskatchewan added. + + +# From Shanks (1991): +# Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S +Rule StJohns 1884 only -
