What latitude changes in Ottawa

The “Moonsighting Committee” method never uses a Fajr earlier than the seasonal durations of the Moonsighting Committee (minutes before sunrise, depending on latitude and season): in 2026, the displayed Fajr comes from this rule on 365 days, Isha on 365 days.
No national convention was found for Canada: times follow the most widely used method, Moonsighting Committee (seasonal Fajr, Isha at 18°).
