How This Pair Actually Operates
Calgary and Montreal have a dependable shared block, but the good slot is narrow enough that lunch, late starts, and DST drift can still damage meeting quality.
Anchor important meetings to the shared band and treat the rest of the day as async support time.

Run the recurring forum in the shared bridge window and move spillover into written notes.
