About the time in Toronto
Sunrise today lands at 06:28 and sunset at 08:13 local time, giving 13h 44m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (43.71, -79.40) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Toronto.
Around 2,794,356 people live in Toronto, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
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.
