  1. TIME

  2. The people of Newfoundland are the first to see the sunrise and sunset in Canada. • As they are having breakfast, many of us in Ontario are still in bed! • British Columbia is the last Province to see the sunrise.

  3. As the Canadian Pacific Railway was developed, the need for a standard set of times became obvious, as deliveries across the provinces became increasingly confusing and late!

  4. He designed Canada’s first postage stamp – the Three penny beaver He designed 3 railways and personally drove the “last spike” in the CPR Railroad He created STANDARD TIME ZONES!

  5. The world rotates once every 24 hours. • There are 360 in a complete rotation. • So if you divide 360 ÷ 24 = 15 • Therefore: every 15 of longitude is equal to one time zone.

  6. THE GOLDEN RULE!!!!!

  7. If it is 8:00 pm in Toronto, what time is it in Edmonton? • Edmonton is WEST of Toronto. According to the time zone map, it is 2 zones west. • West = Subtract Time. • 1 Hour per Time zone • The local time in Edmonton is 6:00pm 8:00 pm ?

  8. Every time zone in Canada is separated by one hour, EXCEPT for Newfoundland. • They are separated by half an hour, or 30 minutes.

  9. If it is 5:00 pm in St. John’s, what time is it in Toronto? • Toronto is West of St. John’s. • 2 Time Zones west, so we need to subtract time. • From Newfoundland to Atlantic time zone is 30 min difference (4:30) • From Atlantic to Eastern is 1 hour • Therefore, the time is 3:30 pm ? 5:00 pm

  10. YOU TRY!The time in Vancouver is 2:30 pm. What time is it in Montreal? 2:30 pm

  11. If your answer is 5:30 pm, then you are correct!

  12. The same theory applies to the rest of the world.

  13. The International Dateline Explained. (Sort of!)
