When "province" needs a capital letter:
* Formal names of administrative divisions: If "province" is part of the official name of a specific administrative region, it should be capitalized.
* Examples: Province of Alberta, Province of Quebec, the Provinces of the Netherlands.
When "province" doesn't need a capital letter:
* General use: When referring to the concept of a province in general, or when it's not part of a specific name, it's lowercase.
* Examples: "Canada is divided into provinces and territories," "The province was known for its beautiful scenery."
In doubt?
* Check a style guide: For consistent capitalization, refer to a style guide like the Chicago Manual of Style or the AP Stylebook.
* Look for consistency: If you're unsure about a specific instance, look at how the word is used elsewhere in the same document or text.
