I am not on the list, so replies should be directed accordingly, but really I don't think I need to see any anyway. Currently the database has: # Ontario # From Paul Eggert (2006-07-09): # Shanks & Pottenger write that since 1970 most of Ontario has been like # Toronto. # Thunder Bay skipped DST in 1973. # Many smaller locales did not observe peacetime DST until 1974; # Nipigon (EST) and Rainy River (CST) are the largest that we know of. In the (Toronto) Globe and Mail for Saturday, 1955-09-24, in the bottom right corner of page 1, it says that Toronto will return to standard time at 2 am Sunday morning (which agrees with the database), and that: The one-hour setback will go into effect throughout most of Ontario, except in areas like Windsor which remains on standard time all year. Windsor is, of course, a lot larger than Nipigon. I only came across this incidentally. I don't know if Windsor began observing DST when Detroit did, or in 1974, or on some other date. By the way, the article continues by noting that: Some cities in the United States have pushed the deadline back three weeks and will change over from daylight saving in October. -- Mark Brader | "Oh, especially if it's accurate.
