Clock rules in Toronto

Toronto keeps EST (UTC−5) in winter and EDT (UTC−4) in summer, the clock of most of Ontario. Not all of Ontario is on it: EST (UTC−5) all year in the areas tzdata describes as “EST - ON (Atikokan), NU (Coral H)” and “EST - Manitoba, ON (northwest)”. tzdata describes Toronto’s zone, America/Toronto, as “Eastern - ON & QC (most areas)”.

Local mean solar time at 79.40° W is UTC−5:18, so standard time runs 18 min ahead of the sun: it is highest at about 12:18 PM (an hour later in summer). That is 15 min later than in Ottawa, on the same clock.

The zone’s rules, coming changes and history are on the America/Toronto page.
