In reply to Cath Smith. This is a common misconception. Saskatchewan is not on Central Standard Time all year round. Rather it is on Mountain Daylight Saving Time year round. The province falls entirely in the Mountain Time zone, something that a glance at a time zone map makes readily apparent. Until the late 60’s they switched back and forth between standard time and daylight saving time, then decided to stay on daylight saving time year round. That meant that they were now observing Central Standard Time, but it is more accurate to say that they are on MDT year round rather than to say that they are on CST year round. British Columbia has just made a similar decision.

I was actually looking for a place to make a comment, but you are correct. Yukon does not change time. And starting at this time change, BC will stay in the same time zone as well. Saskatchewan also only has one time and doesn’t change time. They have to update this map for time changes.

Saskatchewan, in Canada, does not use Daylight Saving Time. It is in Central Standard Time year round. Please correct this in your description.

In reply to AP. I checked and it looks like you're correct. We'll try to update it in the future.

Your PDF version of the map doesn’t have Mexico on it, even though the jpg does. It’s a really good quality jpg though, so congrats there!

Yukon is MST year-round. When Alaska is on AKST, there is a two-hour change at the border!

In reply to Cathy Pelletier. This site is free and, importantly, open to helpful feedback. Nothing is as valuable to improve as self improvement. Mistakes happen, Cathy. Take your comment, for example, “This worthless and should…” They corrected your issue and offered an apology, to boot! I’ve found it much easier to keep everything in perspective. Exceedingly few matters in this life are genuinely due avowed vitriol. From someone with not many days left in this world and far too many foolish regrets, take everything in measurement. (…and be kind)

Would be great to have Saint Pierre and Miquelon too which is UTC-3(UTC-2). Especially easy to get people confused considering its relative position to Newfoundland.

Thank you for the work you do on this. It is a challenge to “get it right” all the time.

Might I add a couple of notes regarding Canada:

Firstly, if you care to add NS (Nova Scotia) it is that ‘thumbs down’ penninsula right above NH and beside NB. Not sure if you have the room, and it’s mostly to ensure it is included.

Secondly, the province of Saskatchewan is Central time but does not use daylight savings time.

Thank you again.

In reply to GISGeography. Please add Mexico (and Central América) to your list of "States and provinces". Also please add info about which states, provinces, cities, or countries still follow DST. Mexico has not been following DST for over a year now, but a few border cities/states do for business purposes.
