About the time in Montréal
The zone identifier America/Toronto is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Toronto keeps pointing at Toronto time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 06:02 and sunset at 07:53 local time, giving 13h 51m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (45.51, -73.59) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Montréal.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Montréal day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 13:00–21:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
