Date and time

Date

Use a dash (not a hyphen) for overlapping, 2-year spans.

Not: 2024/25
But: 2024–25

Also use a dash for multiple-year spans.

Not: 2022/25
But: 2022–25

Write months in full and write "to" rather than using a dash between dates.

Monday, August 14, 2024
December 4 to 6
December 2024

When dates – including the month, day and year – appear in a sentence, put a comma after the year.

January 1, 2024, was the first day the agreement came into effect.

For date inputs (in, for example, online or printed forms or other system interfaces) use YYYY-MM-DD format. Use hyphens, not slashes or other characters. Always use year-month-day order.

Not: 06/15/2024
But: 2024-06-15

Time

In 2020, new regulations took effect in the Yukon which ended the practice of "falling back" an hour in November and "springing forward" an hour in March. The Yukon now observes Pacific Daylight Saving Time year-round. It's called Yukon Standard Time.

Not: Yukon Time, Yukon time, UTC -7

But: Yukon Standard Time, UTC-7

Use "to" rather than a dash or hyphen between times. 

Not: 10:00 a.m., 10:15 a.m., 10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m., 2pm to 3pm, 11.30am to 12.30pm
But: 10 am, 10:15 am, 10 to 11 am, 2 to 3 pm, 11:30 am to 12:30 pm
