Frequently asked questions
Do Saanich prayer times change with daylight saving?
No. The timetable keeps one clock time all year, so no date in it moves every prayer by an hour. Isha slides from 11:18 PM on 22 June to 6:54 PM on 3 December by small daily steps.
Why is the longest fast in Saanich on 22 June and not on the solstice?
The fast starts at Fajr and ends at Maghrib, so it follows dawn twilight as well as sunset, and its peak need not match the solstice exactly. In Saanich it is 18h 07m on 22 June, one day after the solstice.
How much later is Isha in Saanich in June than in December?
Isha is 11:18 PM at its latest, on 22 June, and 6:54 PM at its earliest, on 3 December, so the night prayer starts more than four hours later at midsummer.
How early does Fajr begin in Saanich in summer, and when is it latest?
Fajr is earliest at 3:12 AM on 10 June. The latest is 7:30 AM on 1 January, which makes the dawn prayer start more than four hours later in early January than in early summer.
