Government of Canada (GC) Design System
The design system provides standardized components, templates, and design tokens to help developers and designers create consistent, accessible, and user-friendly Canadian government digital services.
The GC Design System offers a collection of reusable user interface components, page templates, and design tokens that encapsulate brand and design decisions in code.
These resources are designed to ensure a unified and trustworthy experience across Government of Canada digital services. The system supports multiple frameworks, including Angular, React, and Vue, and provides a bilingual Figma design library for rapid prototyping. Currently in its alpha phase, the design system invites public servants to experiment with its offerings and contribute feedback for improvement.
