The name of a province and its form, spelling and abbreviation are to be decided by the provincial toponymy authority, with the agreement of the Government of Canada. One uses "province of Prince Edward Island" for the geographical entity, "Province of Prince Edward Island" for the provincial administration, "Prince Edward Island" as the short form, and "P.E.I." as the abbreviation. Note the absence of hyphenation and the abbreviation without a space between the three elements abbreviated by their initial letter with a period, as the rule requires in English. 4, record 2, English, - Prince%20Edward%20Island
