We already knew about Pangnirtung, but Michaela Rodrigue, writing in
the Nunatsiaq News (1999-11-19), reports:

   The Baffin communities of Clyde River, Pangnirtung and Sanikiluaq now
   operate with two time zones, central - or Nunavut time - for
   government offices, and eastern time for municipal offices and
   schools....

   Igloolik [was similar but then] made the switch to central time on
   Saturday, Nov. 6 ...  after Nunavut Premier Paul Okalik reassured
   them the unified time zone would be reviewed in one year.
