Main band and sub-footer band with no optional links
The global (site-wide) footer at the bottom of each web page contains up to 3 bands:
- Contextual band
- Main band
- Sub-footer band
The contextual band is optional on all page types (standard, transactional, campaign).
On transactional and campaign pages, you can omit the Social media, Mobile applications and About Canada.ca links from the sub-footer band.
