BCT would work for me, but I am not a BC resident so it is definitely an
"outsider's opinion".
PCT seems odd because I expect it to mean three words, not "Pacific Time". I
don't care so much about alleged conflicts with non time cone PCTs. If someone
writes a time followed by PCT one can derive that they mean the zone by
context.
I do not think "estimated" or another meaning when I see EST.
Most end users will see whatever the downstream decides to show.

PCT is common for PerCenT(age); Pacific means something else to those not in

What is their problem with simple unambiguous BC Time; ditto AB Time aka CST
as in SK all year; MB Time; until the situation settles further east?
