About the time in Dawson
Dawson sits at latitude 48.79, in the temperate-north band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 57m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Dawson follows the civil time used across its region of Canada; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Sunrise today lands at 06:22 and sunset at 08:19 local time, giving 13h 57m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (48.79, -94.54) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Dawson.
