In mainland [[Australia]], the keeping of standard time is divided into three [[time zone]]s: '''Australian Eastern Standard Time''' EST/AEST ([[UTC+10]]), '''Australian Central Standard Time''' CST/ACST ([[UTC+9:30]]) and '''Australian Western Standard Time''' WST/AWST ([[UTC+8]]). There are also some areas using a time unofficially known as '''Australian Central Western Standard Time''' ([[UTC+8:45]]). Most Australian external territories also observe different time zones (see below).

'''Milton''' ([[Canada 2006 Census|2006 census]] population 53,939) is a town in southern [[Ontario]], [[Canada]], about 40 km west of [[Toronto]] on [[Highway 401 (Ontario)|Highway 401]], and is the western terminus for [[GO Transit]]'s [[Milton (GO Transit)|Milton Line]] commuter train and bus corridor.

==Time zones==

Milton is part of the [[Greater Toronto Area]] and is the seat of [[Halton Regional Municipality, Ontario|Halton Region]], and is on the edge of the [[Niagara Escarpment]], a [[UNESCO]] world [[biosphere reserve]] and the [[Bruce Trail]].

[[Image:Australia-Timezones-Standard.png|thumb|220px|right|Australian time zones during standard time]]

The standardization of time in Australia began in 1892, when surveyors from the Australian colonies gathered in Melbourne for the Intercolonial Conference of Surveyors. The delegates accepted the recommendation of the 1884 [[International Meridian Conference]] to adopt [[Greenwich Mean Time]] (GMT) as the basis for standard time, and in line with common practice in other parts of the world, devised a system of [[time zones]] with offsets in multiples of one hour from GMT. The colonies enacted legislation to this effect, which took effect in February 1895. [[Western Australia]] led GMT by 8 hours, [[South Australia]] by 9 hours, and [[Queensland]], [[New South Wales]], [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]] and [[Tasmania]] by 10 hours. The three time zones became known as Western, Central and Eastern Standard Time.

Milton received a tremendous amount of publicity following the release of the results of the 2006 Census, which indicated that Milton was the fastest growing community in Canada, with a 71.4% increase in population between 2001 and 2006.

In May 1899, [[South Australia]] moved its standard time to GMT+9:30. Though widespread at the time, non-integer number of hours offset has at times been subject to criticism, with unsuccessful proposals in 1986 and 1994 to adopt GMT+10 or revert to GMT+9 in South Australia.

==History==

Since that time, the only major change has been the adoption of Central Standard Time in [[Broken Hill, New South Wales]], and the use of GMT+10:30 on [[Lord Howe Island]].

The town took root out of a settlement by Jasper Martin, along the [[Sixteen Mile Creek]], who immigrated from [[Newcastle upon Tyne|Newcastle]], [[England]] with his wife Sarah and two sons on [[May 17]], [[1818]]. Martin was granted 100 acres (405,000&nbsp;m²) of land, from the Crown in 1820, designated Lot 14, Concession 2, Township of Trafalgar, Halton County, in the District of Gore. Martin later built a grist mill along the creek and created a pond, known as Mill Pond, to power his mill. The mill became the centre of settlement for others as they settled in the region. In 1837 the area had a population of approximately 100 people and was named Mill Town. The town, as it is today, soon after became known as Milton, although not because of the homonymic similarity to Mill Town. The Martin family were instead paying tribute to author [[John Milton]]. The two principal property owners of the young town were the Martins and the Fosters. The current site of Milton's town hall was donated from Mr. Hugh Foster (and thus, Hugh Foster Hall).<ref>http://www.milton.ca/Living-0-267.htm</ref>

[[Image:Downtown_Milton.jpg|right|thumb|300px|downtown Milton]]

Milton was incorporated into a town in 1857, after being chosen as county seat for Halton. In 1974, the present municipal structure was created when the Regional Municipality of Halton, replaced Halton County.

The [[Australian Capital Territory]] and the [[Northern Territory]] maintained the standard time zones of their parent states (New South Wales and South Australia) when they separated from them in 1910 and 1911.

The new town of Milton added parts of the former township of Esquesing (most of this township comprises [[Halton Hills]]), all of [[Nassagaweya Township]] including the village of [[Campbellville, Ontario|Campbellville]], and the northern sections of Trafalgar and Nelson from (a 1962 annexation of the former townships) [[Oakville, Ontario|Oakville]] and [[Burlington, Ontario|Burlington]] respectively.

===Anomalies===

The town of [[Broken Hill, New South Wales|Broken Hill]] (specified as [[Yancowinna County, New South Wales|Yancowinna County]]), in far-western [[New South Wales]], follows [[South Australia]]n time.

With the addition of the [[Niagara Escarpment]] lands, [[tourism]], [[recreation]], and heritage conservation have increased in importance. The [[Halton Region Museum]] which has a large number of historic agricultural buildings and the [[Halton County Radial Railway]] museum are located in Milton, as is Country Heritage Park (formerly the [[Ontario Agricultural Museum]]). Five large parks operated by [[Conservation Halton]] reside in the town and [[Mohawk Raceway]] is located near Campbellville.

Some towns on the [[Eyre Highway]] in the south-east corner of [[Western Australia]], between the South Australian border almost as far as [[Caiguna, Western Australia|Caiguna]], do not follow official Western Australian time. Instead, they use what is unofficially known as Central Western Standard Time, which was originally halfway between Western and Central time--[[UTC+8:45]]. The area maintained its fixed offset from UTC when daylight saving time was introduced in South Australia. Now that Western Australia is also observing DST on a trial basis, the Central Western area is also setting its clocks ahead an hour during local summer.

[[Image:Milton_Town_Hall.jpg|right|300px|thumb|The historic Milton old town hall in Victoria Park.]]

Towns following this zone include [[Madura, Western Australia|Madura]], [[Mundrabilla, Western Australia|Mundrabilla]], [[Eucla, Western Australia|Eucla]] and [[Border Village]] in South Australia. The total population of the area is estimated at 200. [http://www.confluence.org/photo.php?visitid=10280&pic=7 Border sign]

==Demographics==

The [[Indian Pacific]] train has its own time zone - a so-called "train time" when traveling between [[Kalgoorlie, Western Australia|Kalgoorlie]] and [[Port Augusta]] which was [[UTC+9]] hours during November 2005 when daylight saving time was observed in the east. This is because of the 2 1/2 hour difference in times between South Australia and Western Australia.

According to the [[Canada 2001 Census]] there were 31,005 people living in Milton. (The population of Milton as of 2006 is 53,939). As of 2001 there were 10,933 Housing units.

*The average population density per square kilometer was 85.9 persons.

Age population was: 26.4% of the population was 19 and below, 63.1% of the population ages 20-64 and 10.5% 65 and older.

*The median income for a household in the town was $39,795.

*The average household income for a family with two earners was $94,384.

*With one earner in a family, $64,043.

*Males had an average income of $60,069 versus $40,897 for females.

*27.1% of the population had completed high school. 11.4% a Trades certificate or diploma. 22.9% College. 22.9% University.

*15.7% of the population had not completed high school.

*The linguistic makeup of the town was English as a [[mother tongue]] for 89.7% of the population.

French as a mother tongue for 1.2% of the population and 0.4% of the population English and French. 8.7% of the populations mother tongue was a language other than French and or English.

*90.8% of the population could speak English only, 0.0% of the town could speak French only and 4.8% of the population could speak English and French. 0.3% of the population could not speak English or French.

*3.3% of the population consisted of [[visible minorities]].

==Local Events==

===External territories===

Every labour day weekend in Milton the annual Milton [[Steam Era|Steam-Era]] takes place. Steam-Era is the annual show produced by the "Ontario Steam & Antique Preservers Association" held at the Milton Fairgrounds. Steam engines from the turn of the century silently puff their way around the grounds. Hundreds of tractors and stationary engines along with antique cars, models and agricultural displays recreate life in the rural country a 100 years ago.

The Milton Fall Fair happens every year on the last weekend of September. The Fall Fair has been a tradition in the town for over 60 years. Events include: [[Agricultural show]], midway, livestock, entertainment, the [[Demolition Derby]] and other traditional county fair events. The event takes place at the Milton Fairgrounds located in the historic subdivision area of Milton.

Australia's many external territories follow their own time zones. Only two follow daylight saving time.

A farmer's market operates on Main St. in downtown Milton on Saturdays 8:00am - 12:00pm from May through October. The section of Main St. that hosts the market is closed off to vehicles during the event. Local Farmers proudly display "picked fresh this morning" produce and the streets come alive with artisans and flower vendors.

==Education==

==Daylight saving time==

Milton's public [[elementary school|elementary]] and [[secondary school|secondary]] schools are part of the [[Halton District School Board]]. Milton's Catholic [[elementary school|elementary]] and [[secondary school|secondary]] schools are part of the [[Halton Catholic District School Board]]. There are also several private schools in Milton that belong to various independent school organizations.

[[Image:Australia-Timezones-Daylight-2007-09.png|right|thumb|220px|Australian time zones during daylight saving time (for the 2006-07 through 2008-09 summer periods)]]

South Australia, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, Victoria and Tasmania observe [[daylight saving time]] on a permanent basis. This has resulted in three time zones becoming five for half the year. South Australia follows '''Australian Central Daylight Time''' (ACDT, UTC+10:30) and the south eastern states follow '''Australian Eastern Daylight Time''' (AEDT, UTC+11).

[[Image:Milton_Rural1.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Rural Milton as seen from the summit of Rattlesnake Point, one of Milton's many conservation parks.]]

Western Australia is operating daylight saving time in a trial period from the summer of 2006&ndash;2007 until summer 2008&ndash;2009, after which a [[referendum]] will be held to determine if it should be put in place permanently. While daylight saving time is in effect, time in Western Australia is one hour ahead of Western Standard Time (so it will be UTC+9). However, there is debate over whether the referendum should be held in 2007 or 2009, as favour has begun to swing against daylight saving time (with the Liberals and Nationals against the practice, and Labor undecided).{{fact|date=March 2007}}

===Private Schools===

Of the states that observe daylight saving time, most begin on the last Sunday in October at 2:00 am local standard time, and end on the last Sunday in March at 3:00 am local daylight saving time. An exception to this is the island state of Tasmania, which (due to its southern [[latitude]]) begins daylight saving time earlier, on the first Sunday in October at 2:00 am local standard time. Also, in 2006 only, Western Australia starts on December 3.

On [[April 12]] [[2007]], the Premiers of New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and the Chief Minister of the ACT agreed to pursue common starting and finishing dates for daylight saving time. At this stage the duration is planned to be from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April, the same as in Tasmania. South Australia is as yet undecided if it will join in, and Western Australia has said it will not change it's currently legislated times.<ref>{{cite news

Public opinion of daylight saving time in Queensland is divided. The Queensland-New South Wales border area is heavily populated and as a result businesses suffer inconvenience by the difference in time. Generally, the urban [[South East Queensland|south east corner]] would prefer daylight saving time, and the rural towns and farming regions elsewhere are against it.

===Public Library System===

This is to be expected, given that seasonal differences in daylight become more pronounced as one moves further away from the equator.

Milton is served by a recently renovated main branch located in the downtown core. A site has been secured for the library's first branch with architect selection and construction in 2007 and occupancy in 2008.

[http://www.mpl.on.ca/ Milton Public Library] provides the community with materials, programs and services to support and encourage informal learning. Special emphasis is placed on providing a collection of popular materials and meeting the information needs of

[[Western Australia]] has also had much debate over daylight saving time, with the issue being put to referendum three times in 1975, 1984 and 1992, being defeated all three times. Daylight saving time has been tried in the state on various occasions. The government of Western Australia has passed legislation to try daylight saving time for a fourth time beginning [[December 3]] [[2006]] and lasting three years, at the end of which a [[referendum]] would be held to decide the final fate of daylight saving time in the state. The [http://www.parliament.wa.gov.au/parliament/bills.nsf/9A1B183144403DA54825721200088DF1/$File/Bill175-1B.pdf Daylight Saving Bill (No. 2) 2006] was passed in the [[Western Australian Legislative Assembly|Legislative Assembly]] of the [[Parliament of Western Australia]] on [[October 31]] [[2006]] and in the [[Western Australian Legislative Council|Legislative Council]] on [[November 21]]. This timeframe allowed only 12 days for computer systems administrators, and operating system manufacturers, to test, release and install a patch to handle the time changes.

* Independent Learning Centre

In 2000, all states that normally observe Eastern Daylight Time over summer &mdash; New South Wales, Victoria, the Australian Capital Territory and Tasmania &mdash; started daylight saving time early, due to the [[2000 Summer Olympics]] in [[Sydney]]. These states changed on the [[August 27]] [[2000]]. South Australia did not change until the regular time, which that year was on the [[October 29]] [[2000]].

In 2005, the Milton Public Library celebrated its sesquicentennial year.

In 2006, all states that followed daylight saving time (the above listed states plus South Australia) delayed the return to their respective Standard Times by a week, due to the [[2006 Commonwealth Games]] in [[Melbourne]]. Daylight saving time ended on [[April 2]] [[2006]].

== Recreation ==

==Accuracy and standards==

Milton has many conservation parks, campgrounds and recreational areas. The conservation parks in the Milton area are owned by [[Conservation Halton]], a [[Conservation Authority|conservation authority]].

Although Australia has maintained a version of the [[Coordinated Universal Time]] (UTC) atomic time scale since the 1990s, [[Greenwich Mean Time]] (GMT) remained the basis for the standard time of all states until 2005. In November 2004, the Attorneys General endorsed a proposal from the Australian National Measurement Institute to adopt UTC as the basis of all Australian standard times, thereby eliminating the effects of slight variations in the Earth's rotation rate that are inherent to [[mean solar time]]. [[New South Wales]] and [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]] enacted legislation to this effect, commencing on [[September 1]] [[2005]]. Other states are expected to follow.

While most of the development is suburban in nature, larger lots are being developed closer to the Escarpment. The major industries in Milton are automotive, advanced maufacturing, distribution and food production.

Residential growth has increased substantially over the past several years due to completion of "The Big Pipe" project; designed to deliver water to the town from Lake Ontario. Since this time, Milton has developed 4 new subdivisions and several new ones are under development by Mattamy Homes and various other builders. Two new grade schools have been built as well as the Crossroads Centre shopping plaza that includes a [[Wal Mart]], a [[Canadian Tire]], a [[Montana's Cookhouse]] restaurant and several other smaller scale stores. An eight screen movie theatre is operated by [[Cineplex Entertainment]] under their Galaxy Cinemas brand and opened on [[June 30]], [[2006]].

The population in Milton continues to rise. It has been forcasted that by 2021, the population of Milton will have risen to 106,000.
