His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC, 51 # but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich. 52 53 # From Paul Eggert (2018-03-20): 54 # Dowd's proposal left many details unresolved, such as where to draw 55 # lines between time zones. The key individual who made time zones 56 # work in the US was William Frederick Allen - railway engineer, 57 # managing editor of the Travelers' Guide, and secretary of the 58 # General Time Convention, a railway standardization group. Allen 59 # spent months in dialogs with scientific and railway leaders, 60 # developed a workable plan to institute time zones, and presented it 61 # to the General Time Convention on 1883-04-11, saying that his plan 62 # meant "local time would be practically abolished" - a plus for 63 # railway scheduling. By the next convention on 1883-10-11 nearly all 64 # railroads had agreed and it took effect on 1883-11-18. That Sunday 65 # was called the "day of two noons", as some locations observed noon 66 # twice. Allen witnessed the transition in New York City, writing: 67 # 68 # I heard the bells of St. Paul's strike on the old time. Four 69 # minutes later, obedient to the electrical signal from the Naval 70 # Observatory ... the time-ball made its rapid descent, the chimes 71 # of old Trinity rang twelve measured strokes, and local time was 72 # abandoned, probably forever. 73 # 74 # Most of the US soon followed suit.

T-14, Revised Statutes of 1909 # Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern 1910 # part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in 1911 # northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to 1912 # follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and 1913 # zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would 1914 # by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST. 1915 # 1916 # It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town 1917 # on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to 1918 # serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only 1919 # a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT 1920 # rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round 1921 # since sometime in the 1960s. 1922 1923 # From Chris Walton (2006-06-26): 1924 # The Saskatchewan time act which was last updated in 1996 is about 30 pages 1925 # long and rather painful to read. 1926 # http://www.qp.gov.sk.ca/documents/English/Statutes/Statutes/T14.pdf 1927 1928 # Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S 1929 Rule Regina 1918 only - Apr 14 2:00 1:00 D 1930 Rule Regina 1918 only - Oct 27 2:00 0 S 1931 Rule Regina 1930 1934 - May Sun>=1 0:00 1:00 D 1932 Rule Regina 1930 1934 - Oct Sun>=1 0:00 0 S 1933 Rule Regina 1937 1941 - Apr Sun>=8 0:00 1:00 D 1934 Rule Regina 1937 only - Oct Sun>=8 0:00 0 S 1935 Rule Regina 1938 only - Oct Sun>=1 0:00 0 S 1936 Rule Regina 1939 1941 - Oct Sun>=8 0:00 0 S 1937 Rule Regina 1942 only - Feb 9 2:00 1:00 W # War 1938 Rule Regina 1945 only - Aug 14 23:00u 1:00 P # Peace 1939 Rule Regina 1945 only - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1940 Rule Regina 1946 only - Apr Sun>=8 2:00 1:00 D 1941 Rule Regina 1946 only - Oct Sun>=8 2:00 0 S 1942 Rule Regina 1947 1957 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1943 Rule Regina 1947 1957 - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1944 Rule Regina 1959 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1945 Rule Regina 1959 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1946 # 1947 Rule Swift 1957 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1948 Rule Swift 1957 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1949 Rule Swift 1959 1961 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1950 Rule Swift 1959 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1951 Rule Swift 1960 1961 - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1952 # Zone NAME STDOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 1953 Zone America/Regina -6:58:36 - LMT 1905 Sep 1954 -7:00 Regina M%sT 1960 Apr lastSun 2:00 1955 -6:00 - CST 1956 Zone America/Swift_Current -7:11:20 - LMT 1905 Sep 1957 -7:00 Canada M%sT 1946 Apr lastSun 2:00 1958 -7:00 Regina M%sT 1950 1959 -7:00 Swift M%sT 1972 Apr lastSun 2:00 1960 -6:00 - CST 1961 1962 1963 # Alberta 1964 1965 # Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S 1966 Rule Edm 1918 1919 - Apr Sun>=8 2:00 1:00 D 1967 Rule Edm 1918 only - Oct 27 2:00 0 S 1968 Rule Edm 1919 only - May 27 2:00 0 S 1969 Rule Edm 1920 1923 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1970 Rule Edm 1920 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1971 Rule Edm 1921 1923 - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1972 Rule Edm 1942 only - Feb 9 2:00 1:00 W # War 1973 Rule Edm 1945 only - Aug 14 23:00u 1:00 P # Peace 1974 Rule Edm 1945 only - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1975 Rule Edm 1947 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1976 Rule Edm 1947 only - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S 1977 Rule Edm 1967 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1978 Rule Edm 1967 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1979 Rule Edm 1969 only - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1980 Rule Edm 1969 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1981 Rule Edm 1972 1986 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D 1982 Rule Edm 1972 2006 - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S 1983 # Zone NAME STDOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] 1984 Zone America/Edmonton -7:33:52 - LMT 1906 Sep 1985 -7:00 Edm M%sT 1987 1986 -7:00 Canada M%sT 1987 1988 1989 # British Columbia 1990 1991 # From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22): 1992 # Shanks & Pottenger write that since 1970 most of this region has 1993 # been like Vancouver. 1994 # Dawson Creek uses MST.

Resolute Bay is a small community located about 900km north of 2324 # the Arctic Circle. The zone file was required because Resolute Bay had 2325 # decided to use UTC-5 instead of UTC-6 for the winter of 2006-2007. 2326 # 2327 # According to new information which I received last week, Resolute Bay 2328 # went back to using UTC-6 in the winter of 2007-2008... 2329 # 2330 # On March 11/2007 most of Canada went onto daylight saving.

It was 2334 # explained to me that Resolute Bay had been on the Eastern Time zone 2335 # (EST) in the winter, and was now back on the Central Time zone (CDT). 2336 # i.e. the time zone had changed twice in the last year but the clocks 2337 # had not moved.

I found an e-mail address for somebody by the name of 2344 # Stephanie Adams whose job was listed as "Inns North Support Officer for 2345 # Arctic Co-operatives."
