What

Removes the Get Involved link from the site footer. It pointed at https://buildcanada.com/get-involved, which is the same 404 #278 hit when it removed this link from the nav bar: that page used to explain the Get Involved process, and no longer exists.

Verified:

buildcanada.com/get-involved      -> 301 -> www.buildcanada.com/get-involved
www.buildcanada.com/get-involved  -> 404

Pulled out entirely rather than repointed, matching the treatment in #278. That PR's "Notes for the reviewer" explicitly flagged Footer.tsx:46 as a remaining link that would hit the same 404 and "likely wants the same treatment" — this is that follow-up.

The footer list is now About Us / Contact / Whistleblowers.

i18n

Get Involved was a <Trans> string, and the footer was its last remaining reference (#278 already dropped the DesktopNav one). The msgid is therefore orphaned and comes out of both src/locales/en.po and src/locales/fr.po (fr: Impliquez-vous).

Confirmed against the extractor: lingui extract --clean independently drops the same msgid, so the hand-edit matches what a full extract would produce for this string.

Notes for the reviewer

Test plan

  • prettier --check clean on Footer.tsx
  • next lint --file src/components/MainLayout/Footer.tsx -> no warnings or errors
  • Pre-commit hook (lint + prettier) passed
  • lingui extract --clean agrees the Get Involved msgid is orphaned
  • 404 confirmed by curl against the live URL
  • Visual check on preview: footer shows About Us / Contact / Whistleblowers, no Get Involved
  • /fr locale footer renders correctly with the entry gone

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

buildcanada.com/get-involved 404s. Follow-up to #278, which removed
the same dead link from the nav bar and flagged this one.

The "Get Involved" msgid is now unreferenced, so it comes out of
en.po and fr.po as well.
