Best overlap: 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM in Toronto is 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Reykjavik.
Keep meetings inside 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM in Toronto — that maps to 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Reykjavik. Reykjavik is 5 hours ahead of Toronto, leaving about 5 hours of daily overlap — enough for most meetings if you don't leave them too late in the day. These times hold for most of the year, but Toronto's daylight saving (which Reykjavik doesn't use) shifts them by an hour twice annually.
