Yes; it seems like Alberta will likely adopt year-round UTC-06. If it happens, the entire province would be on permanent Central Standard Time (same as Saskatchewan). This has not been legislated yet, so it is too early to make any database changes. If you have been following my postings to this mailing list, you will already know that the board members of RDEK (Regional District of East Kootenay), which is located near the Alberta border in the south-east corner of British Columbia, voted in March to adopt year-round UTC-07. That would have put RDEK in sync with Vancouver; but, as I already reported here, they rescinded the vote a few weeks later which keeps RDEK in sync with Alberta for the time being. The board promised to conduct a survey before making any more changes. I don't know what sort of survey questions they are asking, but the entire situation changes if their neighbor (Alberta) switches to year-round UTC-06. All of this is just to say that we may have to revisit the proposed America/Cranbrook zone in the near future. -chris On Mon, Apr 20, 2026 at 3:59 PM Roozbeh Pournader via tz <tz@iana.org> wrote:
