Aside - Thanks for keep in touch, especially regarding Yukon (which I assume the upcoming change is still going forward). Earlier, Tim had eluded to Microsoft picking up the change from here - which is indeed the case. I work at Microsoft and regularly
monitor discussion and changes here and forward to the responsible parties internally. Occasionally it goes the other direction too, but lately this list is better informed than we are!

<div class="PlainText">Hi all, can I get confirmation that the TZ database has not made a change to British Columbia's time - that they are still scheduled to go to PST in the fall? (Excluding the eastern parts that are on MST).
<br>
They have created and passed their legislation but have not chosen to enact it yet, and I heard from their officials last week they will be delaying to wait for the pacific US.
<br>
<br>
Also, is there a way for me to simply view the database or a list of current zones? I'm not familiar or getting any luck with the tar files.<br>
