Arbutus sits at latitude 39.25, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 30m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Around 20,483 people live in Arbutus, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
