Django app deployment fails with the error message below:
ValueError: Incorrect timezone setting: Canada/Pacific
I didn't have this problem before (last time I updated the code about 1 week ago and it deployed successfully). I've tried reverting the code a few times and different branches without any success. I'd really appreciate any help.
(is there way to upload full log file here?)

A recent Django version tightened validation on time zones. It now strictly checks against the IANA time zone database. Canada/Pacific is an alias of its new name, not sure if that would impact Django in this case but its worth a shot if its a sudden issue. Try to replace Canada/Pacific with the proper IANA name, America/Vancouver.

It seems that setting TIME_ZONE in settings.py causes this problem. It wasn't a problem before so I don't know why all of the sudden. Anyway, does anybody know any solution to this? The solution I linked above doesn't work in my local environment (Windows).
