About time in Toronto

Toronto uses Eastern Time (UTC−5 in winter, UTC−4 in summer) and always shows the same time as New York. Ontario follows the same daylight saving dates as the US: the second Sunday of March to the first Sunday of November. Sandford Fleming presented his proposal for worldwide standard time zones in Toronto in 1879.
