Problem
Statistics Canada wanted to make its vast data on different subjects more accessible to the general public, who often found it difficult to digest all the information available. The initial solution was to produce short stories on the relevant content, published under two tools: StatsCAN Plus and The Daily. However, to reach even more people, Statistics Canada decided to build a mobile application that could be used by everyone.
