  The data presented above  does not represent

  the provinces  listed.  Such details  can be  
  found in books dealing with DST.              

Ŀ
  The Northwest Territories and the Yukon are   
  not listed since they are located above the   
  latitude of 60 degrees North. House systems   
  are too distorted  above this latitude,  so   
  there is no need to consider DST.

   The DST periods used herein for the various

   from  encyclopedias, almanacs, atlases, and  
   most books  on the subject. These DST dates  
   have been verified several times and can be

General Information: 
Ŀ
   Whenever DST was used from 1918  until the   
   early 1990s, the HOUR was usually the same:

 (0:01 AM is indicated when used in rare cases) 


Ŀ
  Most major cities in Canada,  except for the  
  Northwest territories  and Yukon,  have used  
  DST  every year  since World War II,  and in  
  many cases, since World War I. Discrepancies  
  exist only in the starting and ending dates.
