- Three letters, a hyphen and four numerals is the arrangement every source reports and no Alberta publication states. The base design itself is reported as introduced in late 1983 and refreshed with an updated provincial logo in July 2019, BASE AND FORMAT HAVE DIFFERENT LIFETIMES in Alberta as they do in Oregon and British Columbia, and neither reported base date is asserted as a series boundary here.
