About the time in Central
Sunrise today lands at 06:33 and sunset at 08:17 local time, giving 13h 43m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (43.46, -80.52) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Central.
Central runs on America/Toronto, which puts the city UTC −4 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Central sits at latitude 43.46, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 43m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
