I notice that whenever I post an item on a board, the time of the post reads an hour earlier than the actual time that it is here in Winnipeg, where I m located. I have tried to correct this by going into my profile and following the instructions that have been posted by TPC on this board, but to no avail. Can anyone help me with this?

Sorry, I was thinking of the meridian marker ....

"... and continue west, keeping watch on the north side for the cairn marking the Prime Meridian. This is the base line from which the survey of the whole of Western Manitoba begins. The orderly division of the vast prairie is measured out in square miles. Only in the older settlements does the system of river lots prevail. This includes the whole of Highway 26 from Winnipeg to Portage which was settled before Manitoba joined confederation in 1870. Along the Assiniboine the lots are designated by number within the original parishes. "

Manitoba - its just a few kilometres west of Winnipeg on Highway 1

When I zoomed out to make sure of my bearings, I thought Landmark was South East of Winnipeg.  Do I have the map upside down?
