CivicLabs: Learn How you can Implement and Tailor a Variety of Apps to Serve your Community
Channel: GovernmentofBC
Date: 2020-02-20

More and more people are relying on their phones to access community services and information, however many local governments and First Nations lack the resources to develop apps to serve the unique needs of their residents and businesses.  To counter the high costs associated with app and software development, CivicInfo BC (https://www.civicinfo.bc.ca/) created Civiclabs.ca (https://www.civiclabs.ca/). CivicLabs is a program that develops apps that can be accessed and customized at a fraction of the cost of developing the applications independently. The development costs are split amongst members, which provides a unique opportunity to curate their own range of apps at an affordable price.

Join Todd Pugh, the Executive Director from CivicInfo BC, for an overview of the CivicLabs program, hear what apps have been created so far and learn what you need to do to give your community access to CivicLab’s library of apps.
