# City of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, for one year."
+# From Paul Eggert (2019-04-26):
+# Chris Pearce's book "The Great Daylight Saving Time Controversy" (2017)
+# says that Regina observed DST in 1914-1917. No dates and times,
+# unfortunately. It also says that in 1914 Saskatoon observed DST
+# from 1 June to 6 July, and that DST was also tried out in Davidson,
+# Melfort, and Prince Albert.

# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
# Shanks & Pottenger say that since 1970 this region has mostly been as Regina.
# Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in 1972.
