Action items
- Mobile applications page: DTO received an email from Google about Government of Canada apps listed in the mobile applications page, which is accessible from the subfooter. Several are no longer available for download. Please check (regularly) to see if your department has apps listed there, and ensure links are up to date.
- Old references in web content about eligibility for CPP/OAS/GIS changing to 67 - ESDC is seeing references to a proposed age change under the previous government. The proposed implementation date was April 2023 so Google searches are pulling up old/archived references and confusing people. Principal Publisher may reach out to some departments about a handful of old news releases or other content that may need to be adjusted. Please also check your own web assets for any references and ensure that they are either removed if they aren’t needed, or identified clearly as archived content.
