Prayer Times in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, Canada

Rosemont–La Petite-Patrieprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (45.5366°N, 73.6069°W) using the ISNA calculation method — the standard used by most mosques in Canada and across the United States.

The five daily prayers — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — are calculated from the sun's position relative to Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie's latitude and longitude. As the sun's declination changes throughout the year, prayer times shift by several minutes each day. This is why a Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.

How Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie's prayer times are worked out

Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie sits 9,999 km (6,213 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 59° from true north — you face northeast to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Canada follows the ISNA method set by the Islamic Society of North America: Fajr begins when the sun is 15° below the horizon, and Isha when it reaches 15°. A city that used ISNA's 15° instead would get a noticeably different Fajr — which is why the method, not just the coordinates, decides the answer.

Day length is what really moves the timetable in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie. Measured with the ISNA method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 17h 41m around June, while the shortest is roughly 10h 13m in December: a swing of 7h 28m across the year. That spread is set by Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie's latitude (45.54°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.

One local quirk worth knowing: Dhuhr in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie does not fall at 12:00. Because the city sits well west within its America/Toronto time zone, the sun peaks about 63 minutes after clock noon, and Dhuhr follows the sun rather than the clock — today it is at 1:02 PM. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension, Montréal — close enough that their times differ from Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie's by only a few minutes.
