Why people convert Edmonton to PDT time

Scheduling a call from Edmonton to PDT: a 10:00 AM start in Edmonton lands at 9:00 AM in PDT, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Edmonton and PDT are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM MDT time (9:00 AM–4:00 PM PDT). That is roughly 7 hours of usable overlap.
Watching a live event or market open: Edmonton viewers need 8:00 AM in PDT to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 1:00 AM if the event is anchored to Edmonton.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM MDT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -1h gap is not.
Block 10:00 AM–5:00 PM MDT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Edmonton and need PDT colleagues present.
