Projects Currently Underway
#GCDigital Design System
The Digital Collaboration Division is currently working with partners on developing a central design system (DCD design system) for digital collaboration platforms. The design system will act as a catalogue for everything comprised in the digital projects of DCD, and other interested parties including the Canadian Digital Service, Talent Cloud, other teams in CIOB, and the design team at IRCC. The design system will establish a consistent interface and style across all platforms, and provide reusable components for the development of further applications.
