COVID-19: Vancouver Island, BC (Central & North)

Collected by: Vancouver Island University

Archived since: Mar, 2020

Description:

In March 2020 the Canadian Web Archiving Coalition (CWAC) stated: "The deadly flu outbreak of 1918-19 is often called the ‘forgotten pandemic.’ Our responsibility now is to ensure the lessons of COVID-19 are not forgotten. Our collective efforts to capture and preserve the essential online elements of this unprecedented event are critical." (CARL-ABRC). The COVID-19: Vancouver Island, BC (Central & North) Web Archive reflects community experiences and responses to the pandemic in the region served by Vancouver Island University, documenting and supporting diverse aspects of scholarly inquiry, creativity, and community life. The Web Archive is intended to provide a body of information that will support scholarship, creativity, and study. Information rights related to web archiving include considerations of copyright and fair dealing, and of individual and community privacy. The following are among principles and resources that guide web archiving decisions: Ethics of care, for example in VIU Library’s Pledge to our user communities; OCAP® principles, and awareness of relationality and accountability to Indigenous communities, and potential impacts related to web archiving; Good practice and expert advice, emerging and accessed through communities of practice, e.g. the Canadian Web Archiving Coalition (CWAC); and VIU Library, Evolution of Physical Collections: 2017-2021 VIU Library, Special Collections Guidelines (Under review 2020). Web archives are informed by available capture technologies and also by affordances of the content source; not all websites can be successfully crawled or rendered, and quality of archived versions varies. This project is supported by VIU's Special Funding for COVID-19 research projects and carried out in coordination with the University of Victoria’s COVID-19 Collection and the Canadian Web Archiving Coalition. Contact us at research.help@viu.ca with questions or for more information about content included in the Web Archive. [Working description 2021 April 6]

Title: COVID-19 success stories: Carla Voyageur’s FirstVoices project | First Peoples' Cultural Council

URL: https://fpcc.ca/stories/covid-19-success-stories-carla-voyageurs-first-voices-project/

Description: Before COVID-19 restrictions were announced in March, Carla Voyageur was working directly with Elders every week to record Kwak’wala words and phrases for their community site on FirstVoices.com. COVID-19 has forced many of us to change the way we work, adjust our plans and learn new tools to complete projects. When Carla’s in-person meetings were put on pause, she was no longer able to meet with her group of Elders and she had to find a different way to record the words if she was going to complete the project.

Description: There has been consistent rumours on social media regarding the Aquatic facility being closed, specifically “it closed to save money, it’s closed because Council is considering permanently closing it, it’s closed because the office staff want it closed”. Due to these rumors, Council wishes to make this statement so that there is no further rumors: the Aquatics Centre was closed in March of 2020 due to immediate closure instructions by the Province and Council has never had any discussions at this time regarding permanently closing the facility.
