The CBC has an article on Friday's apparent ceremonial signing:
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/kinew-daylight-time-proclamation-9.7359052
"Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew says time changes are officially over in
Manitoba. The premier says the proclamation he signed Friday in Selkirk,
Man., makes it so."

I note the CBC's use of the word "says" twice, presumably due to a similar
lack of publicly-confirmable details documenting the change.

Looking at the photo of the premier holding up the documents, if I squint
at the titles I can convince myself that the one on the right could say
"Order in Council" and the one on the left could say "Décret" (the French
equivalent).  While that can act as a hint to us as to where the actual
order should appear, the photo as posted is far too blurry to actually
discern any actual details.

For what it's worth, that page currently states that it is updated through
Saturday 26 September; if that is indeed accurate, any proclamation signed
on Friday 25 September should be there, but this one isn't.  This is not to
say that it won't appear there soon anyway, but as the documents shown in
the CBC photo also look a fair bit different from the typical proclamations
and OiCs posted online, it's worth considering that they could be related
documents or an earlier/later form.  In any case, public reporting has so
far elided the specific implementation details we've collectively requested
from Manitoba Government Inquiry and the Lieutenant Governor's Office over
the last week and a half, possibly because they've not been available to
reporters either.
