Best overlap: 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Brasília is 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in Toronto.
Both teams are at their desks between 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Brasília and 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in Toronto. 8 hours of shared hours is more than enough — slot meetings wherever they're most convenient for the people involved. One seasonal catch: Toronto springs forward and falls back, but Brasília doesn't, so the gap changes by an hour for several months of the year.
