Best overlap: 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Accra is 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM in Toronto.
Shoot for 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Accra; your Toronto colleagues will see that as 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Toronto is 4 hours behind Accra, but with 6 hours of common ground you can hold morning or afternoon meetings without anyone working odd hours. Daylight saving complicates things slightly: Toronto observes it, Accra doesn't, so the difference flexes by an hour part of the year.
