Why is Chhath on Wed 29 Oct in Goderich?

Sunset at 18:32 is Panchami; Shashthi begins at 20:36. Shashthi: 20:36 to 18:28 Thu.
Shashthi ended at 18:28; sunset at 18:32 is Saptami. Shashthi: 20:36 Wed to 18:28.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC). Band: the tithi. Line: Sunset. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
The evening arghya is offered at sunset. Shashthi runs from 20:36 on Wed 29 Oct to 18:28 on Thu 30 Oct, between the two evenings’ sunset, touching neither. The Nirnayasindhu then takes the earlier day: Wed 29 Oct. No text giving Chhath · Sandhya Arghya’s time was found; sunset is Tithika’s convention.
