How these times are worked out
Each time is the moment the top edge of the sun reaches the horizon, worked out from the date and from the position of Oshawa, which is 43.90 degrees north, 78.87 degrees west. It uses the standard solar formulas that weather services and almanacs use, and it is normally within a minute of an almanac. Hills, buildings and weather are not part of it, so what you see from your own window can differ a little.
Some churches and conferences print their own Sabbath times, and a few start a few minutes early or finish a few minutes late. If your church keeps a published schedule, follow that one. These numbers are a reliable reference, not a ruling.
Nearby places
Sabbath times change by roughly a minute for every 15 to 20 kilometres you move east or west, so a church in a nearby town can use these numbers as a rough guide. For an exact figure use the closest place below, or ask your conference.
