waste of daylight

Thunder Bay was the first city in the world to enact daylight saving time, on 1 July 1908.

While the Canadian government officially introduced Daylight Savings Time in 1918, the towns of Port Arthur and Fort William (now Thunder Bay) had implemented seasonal time-shifting a decade earlier.
