Minutes since midnight can be easily converted into 24 hour time. To get the clock hour, divide the minutes since midnight by 60. To get the minute value, mod the number by 60. Here is some example Javascript that demonstrates how to perform the calculation:

function msmTo24time(msm) {
  var hour = msm / 60;
  var mins = msm % 60;
  return [hour, mins];
}

You will probably want to convert the minutes since midnight to 12 hour time since that’s what most folks from Ontario will be familiar with, you can do that with a few extra steps:

function msmTo12time(msm) {
  var time = msmTo24time(msm),
      h24  = time[0],
      h12  = (0 == h24 ? 12 : (h24 > 12 ? (h24 - 10) - 2 : h24)),
      ampm = (h24 >= 12 ? 'PM' : 'AM');
  return [h12, time[1], ampm];
}
