[tz] Fort Nelson, Canada

[Chris Walton]

Sorry I missed the announcement back in February.

Here is a Wikipedia link for the affected region:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Rockies_Regional_Municipality

-The area has a population of 5290 and an area of 85014 square km.
-The post 1970 time zone history will no longer match America/Vancouver or America/Dawson_Creek.

The change could be treated as a minor boundary tweak, but given the size I would assume a new zone entry is required.

Let's see what others have to say.

According to http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/fort-nelson-canada-time-zone.html

Fort Nelson, BC, Canada will cancel DST this year.

So while previously they were aligned with America/Vancouver, they're now aligned with America/Dawson_Creek.

Does this type of split require a new zone entry?  America/Fort_Nelson  ??

Thanks,
Matt
