Date and time notation in Canada
Methods of expressing date and time used in Canada / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Date and time notation in Canada combines conventions from the United Kingdom, conventions from the United States, and conventions from France, often creating confusion.[1] The Government of Canada specifies the ISO 8601 format for all-numeric dates (YYYY-MM-DD; for example, 2024-07-15).[2] It recommends writing the time using the 24-hour clock (02:44) for maximum clarity in both Canadian English and Canadian French,[3] but also allows the 12-hour clock (2:44 a.m.) in English.[4]
