      I believe they are.  It appears that pretty much all of Canada has
 adopted the change with the exception of Saskatchewan (CST) which
 doesn't have DST.

      A quick fix is to do:
 
 mkdir -p /usr/src/share/zoneinfo
 cd /usr/src/share/zoneinfo
 ftp ftp.netbsd.org
   cd /pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/src/share/zoneinfo
   prompt
   mget *
   quit
 make install
 shutdown -r now
