British Columbia permanent DST impact

BC in Canada is going to be staying on DST permanently from Nov 2026. Is there any information about how Microsoft will handle this in Windows? For example, will there be a new Timezone and, if so, when can we expect that to be rolled out? Thanks.

    Same question from a large enterprise organization. We're looking to find out if Microsoft will release an update with a time zone specific to BC, or if the Arizona time zone (which also does permanent DST) will be the new selection required in the place of Pacific.

    I have the same question. If a new time zone is being added on Windows there are some changes that need to done in my company's products.
