Where is EDT Time Zone

Permalink
Hi

A user of my site is in Ottawa, but this city is not in the time zone drop-down list.

Does anybody know why not?

Is there a way to fix this or at least a work-around?

TIA - Mark

what I noticed is Ottawa is not in that time zone. I believe it is in the UTC-5 zone...

Ah, I see, but I think the "Ontario - most parts east of 90 West" probably covers Ottawa. If you Google "Ottawa time zone", the same site says it is on EDT. (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=188)

ok, i think i may see the confusion here ?! I live in the US time zone central. which is ALSO UTC-6... i think the us time zones are independent of the UTC ones possibly ?!

Well EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) is basically EST (Eastern Standard Time) with daylight saving added. EST is currently at UTC-6 and EDT is at UTC-5. The problem is that I don't see anything at all for Canada in the Concrete5 user settings.
