CANADIAN TIME ZONES

CANADIAN CREATOR In 1858, as the chief engineer of the Northern Railway, he proposed the idea of a great rail project stretching to the western coast of Canada. In order to help the transcontinental train run on time, he devised the concept of Standard Time and splitting the world into 24 time zones. His concept was adopted in 1884.

YOU DO THE MATH! WORLD IS ROUND 360 degrees (longitude) There are how many hours in a day? 24 So how many degrees wide is each time zone? 360 / 24 = ? Degrees 15 degrees

Time Zones- A

Why would northeastern BC not change their time from summer to winter? They do business on both sides of the border, so they stay with one time.
