We've made a few little updates to the style guide. There are no changes to style, just some minor corrections after we noticed some accidental inconsistencies.
- Our style is "long-term care home" not "long term care home".
- The correct name is "Cultural Industries Training Fund" not "Cultural Industry Training Fund".
- The PDF version of the style guide now includes the Facility and building list of spellings that was already in the online version.
- The style guide now refers to the Department of Economy, Tourism and Culture, now that the Department of Economic Development and the Department of Tourism and Culture have been combined.
Types of changes we make to the style guide
- Grammar and punctuation
- Culturally appropriate language
- Indigenous Peoples references
- Yukon-specific language
- Stylistic flexibility
- Government organization language
- Political preferences
We make changes when:
- existing sources do not meet our needs;
- we need new guidance; or
- we need to update existing guidance.
