Yes, although the days will be getting shorter until then.
Sundials in most areas will not be correct on Sunday...

My good news on this is by the time I have to deal with darkness coming home from work will be November 2022. I won't be going back to work until March this year and the days should be long enough to have daylight coming home.

Saskatoon SK at ~51 degrees latitude
Shortest day - December 21. Sunrise 9:13 am, Sunset 4:56 pm - 7 hours 43 minutes
Longest day - June 20 & 21 (tie). Sunrise 4:45 am, Sunset 9:31 pm - 16 hours, 45 minutes
(this is all standard time. With DST sunset would be 10:31pm)
My dad actually graphed the sunrises and sunsets one year based upon information he got from the weather channel. He is not very computer savy beyond youtube. He did notice that the days don't change in length much around the solstaces but do change quite a lot around the equalnoxes.

SK is not on DST because it would confuse the cows. This is a legitimate argument brought up whenever somebody brings up whether or not SK should adopt DST like the rest of Canada.

Now we know where they grow cows.

First time I went up into Canada was in April 1999. I had to cross from Portal, ND into North Portal, SK. US Customs told me to cross the border, park my truck, and wait until the Canadian customs office opened at 8am.
I said it was after 8am. They said Saskatoon doesn’t follow DST.

You just made the case for Standard Time. You think darkness until 9:13 am is not late enough? You want sunrise at 10:13?

DST is currently only observed in summer in Canada. If you have been to SK, you would know that December 21st is not summer.

But you're an advocate for year-round DST. Remember this?

I don't live in SK. In Ontario I can wait til 8:47 for sunrise.
And forget standard time year around. I am not dealing with no 8PM sunsets in June.
