Internal applications

The Government of Canada does not have a common design system for internal applications. However, in Marine and Civil Aviation at Transport Canada we introduced the Telerik component library in September 2022. The goals of purchasing this component library were to achieve closer alignment between design and implementation, help our teams meet our standards for responsive design and accessibility, and create more consistency across Marine and Civil Aviation products.

Since then, we have also created a pattern library that includes guidelines and examples on how to use various Telerik components. Please see:
