Best overlap: 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Nairobi is 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM in Toronto.
Keep meetings inside 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Nairobi — that maps to 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM in Toronto. Around 3 hours of overlap is enough to work comfortably, as long as meetings don't drift to the end of one team's day. Finally, Toronto observes daylight saving and Nairobi doesn't, so this window shifts by an hour for part of the year — recheck it each spring and autumn.
