Nunavut explores ending time changes

I am watching for news related to Cambridge Bay officially changing to UTC-06 to match the new time zone in Alberta. It appears Nunavut is ready to reconsider time zones across their entire territory. Justice Minister George Hickes provided the update Tuesday in the legislative assembly in response to a question from Kugluktuk MLA Simon Kuliktana. “As recently as earlier this month, my officials from Justice have been in communication with other counterparts in Northwest Territories to discuss this matter. So yes, it is something that’s in front of me,” Hickes said. . . . Nunavut’s three time zones add “complexity” to the issue, Hickes said, adding there would be public consultation before any changes are made and new legislation would be required for implementation. https://nunatsiaq.com/stories/article/nunavut-explores-ending-time-changes/ The full discussion can be read starting on page 11 (PDF page 17) of the Nunavut Hansard for May 26th. https://www.assembly.nu.ca/sites/default/files/2026-05/20260526_Blues_Engli…

New Apple time zone data for Canada?
by Paul Eggert June 1, 2026

June 1, 2026

Gary Ng reported[1] that on Tuesday he got a notification on his Apple TV that updated time zone information was available, and that this was because Apple pushed out an over-the-air time zone update for Canadian users due to recent provincial legislation in BC and Alberta. I'm skeptical at least about the "Alberta" part, since the Alberta changes are not yet official. Does anyone have definitive information about this? The only public repository I found for Apple[2] is currently based on TZDB 2025b, which is so old that it doesn't have the official changes for British Columbia, much less the not-yet-official changes for Alberta. I would guess the updates Ng reported are newer than 2025b. Another possibility is that Apple's changes for Canada are about interfacing to cell phone service providers, which are presumably having their own issues with time zones. [1]: Ng G.
