# Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Yukon
|
||||
|
||||
# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
|
||||
# Dawson switched to PST in 1973. Inuvik switched to MST in 1979.
|
||||
# Mathew Englander (1996-10-07) gives the following refs:
|
||||
# * 1967. Paragraph 28(34)(g) of the Interpretation Act, S.C. 1967-68,
|
||||
# c. 7 defines Yukon standard time as UTC-9. This is still valid;
|
||||
# see Interpretation Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. I-21, s. 35(1).
|
||||
# * C.O. 1973/214 switched Yukon to PST on 1973-10-28 00:00.
|
||||
# * O.I.C. 1980/02 established DST.
|
||||
# * O.I.C. 1987/056 changed DST to Apr firstSun 2:00 to Oct lastSun 2:00.
|
||||
# Shanks & Pottenger say Yukon's 1973-10-28 switch was at 2:00; go
|
||||
# with Englander.

# From Chris Walton (2006-06-26):
|
||||
# Here is a link to the old daylight saving portion of the interpretation
|
||||
# act which was last updated in 1987:
|
||||
# http://www.gov.yk.ca/legislation/regs/oic1987_056.pdf
|
||||
# From Brian Inglis (2015-04-14):
|
||||
#
|
||||
# I tried to trace the history of Yukon time and found the following
|
||||
# regulations, giving the reference title and URL if found, regulation name,
|
||||
# and relevant quote if available. Each regulation specifically revokes its
|
||||
# predecessor. The final reference is to the current Interpretation Act
|
||||
# authorizing and resulting from these regulatory changes.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Only recent regulations were retrievable via Yukon government site search or
|
||||
# index, and only some via Canadian legal sources. Other sources used include
|
||||
# articles titled "Standard Time and Time Zones in Canada" from JRASC via ADS
|
||||
# Abstracts, cited by ADO for 1932 ..., and updated versions from 1958 and
|
||||
# 1970 quoted below; each article includes current extracts from provincial
|
||||
# and territorial ST and DST regulations at the end, summaries and details of
|
||||
# standard times and daylight saving time at many locations across Canada,
|
||||
# with time zone maps, tables and calculations for Canadian Sunrise, Sunset,
|
||||
# and LMST; they also cover many countries and global locations, with a chart
|
||||
# and table showing current Universal Time offsets, and may be useful as
|
||||
# another source of information for 1970 and earlier.
