Standard Time runs 1 hour behind Daylight Savings Time.

So sunrise is at 8:24am as it was this morning in Fort McMurray http://weather.gc.ca/city/pages/ab-20_metric_e.html that means that on Daylight Savings Time the sunrise would have been at 9:24am. If school starts at 9:00am, then kids have to travel to school in the dark, and it's dark when classes start.
