The #AirIndiaFlight182 sundial marks the passage of the sun on June 23rd and identifies 08:41 AM EDT as the equivalent of solar noon in Ahakista, when the sun is oriented directly south of the Irish sundial and shines directly upon it.
The inscription on the Air India Flight 182 memorial sundial in #Toronto reads, "Time Flies / Suns Rise And Shadows Fall / Let It Pass By / Love Reigns Forever Overall".

FYI, at 8:41 AM #Toronto time, the sun passes over the Irish coast meridian where #AirIndia #Flight182 exploded 40 yrs ago today.
At 8:41 a.m. this morning the Air India bombing memorial sundial in Humber Bay Park marked, as it does every June 23rd, the time here that corresponds with solar noon on the Irish coast where the plane exploded. The largest mass killing in Canadian history.

#Toronto is lucky this year. It will enjoy TWO longest days of the year. To the nearest second, June 20 and 21 will both have 15h 26m 37s of daylight. #SummerSolstice

Saw a car pull up to a gas pump at a busy @visitONroute on #Hwy401. Couple gets out and goes into the food court. They return a while later, gas up, and leave. Genius or ignorant?.

Hey Sun, welcome back to the north side of the #Equator. The moment of #SpringEquinox occurred this morning at 5:01 am EDT when the sun crossed the Equator just off the coast of #Somalia.

Just watched the #ISS with the docked #SpacexDragon pass over #Barrie ON. It is an absolute marvel @elonmusk to realize there are 11 people on board. Shivers. @SpaceX.
