I had the privilege of contributing to the digital rebirth of Canada’s most iconic health and wellness resource: Canada’s Food Guide. Originally created in 1942, it's hailed as one of the most-read public documents, serving as a foundational source of nutrition information for Canadians and health professionals worldwide.
Summary:
Massive User Engagement: Within the first 48 hours, the revamped website received nearly 1 million visits and 30,000 downloads.
National Awareness: 74% of Canadians are aware of the new version, according to Dalhousie University.
Government's Most Visited Site: Became the most visited site of the Government of Canada.
Accessibility Compliance: Achieved WCAG 2.0 AA compliance and provided content in both English and French.
Cross-Department Training: Trained multiple departments to utilize new digital tools and dashboards.
