Creston, British Columbia
Creston is a town in the Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, Canada. By road, Creston is roughly equidistant between Cranbrook ( to the east) and Castlegar ( to the west) along the Crowsnest Highway. The town is approximately north of the Porthill-Rykerts Border Crossing on the Canada–US border. Time zone and Kootenay descriptive Settlements on the east shore of Kootenay Lake and along BC Highway 3 from Creston to Yahk are among the few areas of Canada that do not observe daylight saving time, remaining on Mountain Standard Time year-round.

Consequently, Creston in the warmer months is on Castlegar time and in the colder months on Cranbrook time. East Kootenay The 1860 survey defined the Purcell Mountains as the east–we ...
