About Toronto and Its Time Zone

Toronto is the capital of Ontario and the largest city in Canada, with a metropolitan population of approximately 6.4 million. It is Canada's financial and commercial capital, home to the Toronto Stock Exchange and the headquarters of the five largest Canadian banks. Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world — over half of its residents were born outside Canada, and more than 200 languages are spoken in the city. The city is also a major North American technology hub, with a growing cluster of artificial intelligence and fintech companies centred around the MaRS Discovery District.

Toronto operates on Eastern Time, which is UTC-5 during winter (Eastern Standard Time, EST) and UTC-4 during summer (Eastern Daylight Time, EDT).
