PDT is the Pacific Time Zone
In everyday usage, PDT is often referred to as Pacific Time (PT) or the Pacific Time Zone. This can add a bit of confusion as the term Pacific Time does not differentiate between standard time and Daylight Saving Time, so Pacific Time switches between PDT and PST in areas that use DST during part of the year.
Cranbrook, Golden, Invermere are in the MST/MDT zone; Creston, the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality, and most of Peace River Regional District (except Fort Ware) observe MST all year
