• Canada: Saskatchewan in CST (Central standard Time). Most of Saskatchewan does not use daylight saving time.
• US: Arizona, MST (Mountain standard Time), most of Arizona does not use daylight saving time.
Time zones that do not use daylight saving time year-round, appear with the time zone color dimmed in addition to the symbol that appears above the clock.
Eg Arizona in the US and Yukon Territory in Canada, both MST (Mountain Standard Time), appear in lighter green.
You can also refer to the 4 Time Zone Colors = Intervals that are multiples of 4 hours between the same colors.
