I tried to find information about the Provincial DST referendum in other cities.

From what I could find, Red Deer, Lethbridge, and Medicine Hat all went with slight majorities for YES to DST. Because of their much lower populations and low turnout, I don't think their combined differentials are enough to overcome the lead that NO has in Calgary. I couldn't find any results for Edmonton or the bigger northern cities. It will likely come down to which way Edmonton voted. If Edmonton voted NO at about the same percentage as Calgary, it will likely fail.

The Equalization referendum looks to be an easy win for YES.
