Time in Saskatchewan

The smaller communities around the city that also change time include Marsden, Neilburg, Marshall, Lashburn and Maidstone.

[citation needed] In 1966, the Saskatchewan provincial government sought the help of a professional astronomer living in the province.

The key points of this act were: The only cities that chose not to match the rest of Saskatchewan's time zone were in the southwest, in the areas around Lloydminster and Swift Current.

Swift Current and surrounding communities also observed Mountain Time until April 30, 1972, when they changed to match the rest of the province.

Unlike Lloydminster, Creighton's use of Central Daylight Time has no legal sanction at the provincial level.

In the early part of the 21st century, discussion was renewed over whether Saskatchewan should change its clocks seasonally to be synchronised with other provinces' practice.

Premier Brad Wall had pledged to hold a referendum in the 2011 provincial election, but he later decided against it, saying it would be a waste of money since polls consistently showed a strong majority favoured the status quo.
