The Aboriginal Congress of Alberta Association (ACAA) has launched a new mobile application in order to further their mandate of engaging with and supporting urban and rural Indigenous peoples throughout Alberta.
Founded in 1971 as a National body, CAP represents the voice of urban and rural non-status, status, Métis, and Southern Inuit Indigenous peoples. Recognized as the provincial affiliate organization for the Congress of Aboriginal People, ACAA has been working to build a community in Alberta to ensure that the voice of non-affiliated Indigenous peoples is heard at all levels. ACAA is the provincial affiliate of the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples (CAP)
The ACAA chose to work with local software developer Aivia Design and Technology Engineering to build the cross-platform app, as well as the web-based administration panel used to manage app content. The mission of Aivia Design and Technology isn’t to sell software – it’s to use cutting-edge technology to create custom solutions to help clients their goals. We use agile software development methodology and pioneering engineering solutions to create market-leading products that increase organizational efficiency and streamline business processes.
“Because our primary audience is people living off-reserve throughout the province, being able to reach out to them directly is a monumental upgrade to our communications toolkit. We can make sure that information reaches the people it needs to, on a platform that is simple and easy for anyone to pick up and use,” stated Beverly Allard, the President of the ACAA as well as a Director with the National Congress of Aboriginal Peoples.
