McGill Style Guide (10th ed).

Websites

Follow the order of information, punctuation, and capitalization in the examples below. See section 6.18.1 of the Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation (10th ed.).

Author's First Name Second Name (if given) Last Name, "Title of the Page" (Day Month Year), Pinpoint (if needed), online:<URL> [ Archived URL]

NOTE: Your professor may want you to include the original root URL along with an archived URL for online sources. The McGill Guide recommends that you use a permalink system for the archived URL (see section 1.6). If you need to include a pinpoint, use the most specific location (e.g., at 15) (see section 6.18.1). Provide a date of publication when available on the source or use a "last modified" or "last visited date" as shown in the above example (see section 6.18).

Example

City of Mississauga, "Council" (last visited 16 January 2025), online: <https://www.mississauga.ca/> [https://www.mississauga.ca/council/]

Your professor may have different citing expectations than library staff. Always check at the beginning of term and before starting assignments that the citing rules you are using are appropriate for your class.
