How Confederation's prayer times are worked out

From Confederation, the Qibla is 32° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 11,214 km (6,968 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Confederation's own coordinates (52.14°N, 106.70°W), not a national average. That is why Confederation's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Confederation timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Confederation lies well west inside its Regina time zone. So the sun peaks about 75 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:05 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 48m near June down to 9h 30m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Confederation come from the Islamic Society of North America. The ISNA method sets Fajr when the sun is 15° below the horizon, and Isha at 15°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. We also publish times for nearby Saskatoon, Nutana Sector and Lakewood. Each is only a few minutes off Confederation's clock.
