ACICR Website
Background
The ACICR developed a website in 1998 to provide information to Alberta
injury stakeholders and the public. The website has been maintained since
then and is designed to be accessible and efficient by users with the most basic
computer systems. As further information has been added to the website, the
need for a new website structure has grown. The ACICR developed content for
a new website that has improved the access to the information provided. The
new site was launched in the 2003/2004 fiscal year.
In 2007/2008, 9,053 visitors accessed the ACICR website.
Goal
