Acknowledgment text for publications
Please consider the following acknowledgement should be part of any publication significantly based on CFHTLS data. This can usually be done by using an asterisk by the author's name to refer to a footnote (or a text at the end of the article in the acknowledgements) stating:

Instrument Acknowledgment
Based on observations obtained with MegaPrime/MegaCam, a joint project of CFHT and CEA/IRFU, at the Canada-France-Hawaiʻi Telescope (CFHT) which is operated by the National Research Council (NRC) of Canada, the Institut National des Science de l'Univers of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) of France, and the University of Hawaiʻi. This work is based in part on data products produced at Terapix available at the Canadian Astronomy Data Centre as part of the Canada-France-Hawaiʻi Telescope Legacy Survey, a collaborative project of NRC and CNRS.
Staff Acknowledgment
CFHT encourages the inclusion of a staff acknowledgement within papers, posters, press releases, websites, and other published materials, physical or digital, to recognize the contributions of observatory personnel throughout the data acquisition and reduction process. Use of the full text is encouraged where space is available. If limited by space, word count, or other parameter, an alternate version may be used.

Full Text
We would like to thank the Canada-France-Hawaiʻi Telescope (CFHT) Operations, Instrumentation, and Software Groups for their contributions and diligence in maintaining observatory operations; the CFHT Astronomy Group for their observation coordination and data acquisition efforts; and the CFHT Finance & Administration Group for their contributions to the management and administration of the observatory.

Alternate Text
Quality observations are made possible by relentless effort of the entire staff at Canada-France-Hawaiʻi Telescope.
Land Acknowledgment
CFHT encourages the inclusion of a land acknowledgement within papers, posters, press releases, websites, and other published materials, physical or digital, to recognize the significance of Maunakea, culturally and ecologically.

CFHT is located on Maunakea on Hawaiʻi Island, a mountain of considerable cultural, natural, and ecological significance. Maunakea is a sacred site to Native Hawaiians, also known as Kānaka ʻŌiwi.
