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]

Description: BC Think Tank 🤔: COVID Chapter on Twitter: "😱 BC's Health Order on vax passes has been released. Ages 12-21 are not required to show proof of vaccination to participate in group recreation and sports activities. Our PHO and the BCCDC are now openly encouraging infection of this age group. / BC Think Tank 🤔: COVID Chapter @RealBCThinkTank · Sep 14, 2021 Replying to @RealBCThinkTank For those thinking this is justifiable because this age group is "safe"... Alberta is reporting a new death of a 20 year old female. And there are many cases of serious illness and death in young adults and kids from Covid every day in the US (check out @Cleavon_MD threads)."

Description: Trapped in Covid Ground Hog Day on Twitter: "And in #BCEd #k12 — @BCSchoolSports & #BC #PHO apparently thinks Inter-school competition is safe for schools—with no #vaccine mandates —but they are clearly concerned about fuel consumption for travel in this #COVID19 pandemic but not exposures via travel https://bcschoolsports.ca/sites/default/files/files/news/pdf/BCSS%20Volleyball%20Championships%20and%20Winter%20Sports%20Update%20-%20Nov%2030%202021.pdf / Just pointing out @BCSchoolSports is advocating “carpooling, public transit or busses” for travel in concern for gas consumption. Sounds safe on eve of #omicron, right? / So @BCSchoolSports is this what a safe school sporting event sounds like to you? You might want to find out what school this was—looks like in #FraserHealtb.👇👇 / Also hearing about #BC schools that didn’t get the memo about volunteers/coaches from community needing to be fully #vaccinated —letting non-vaxxed (& not employed to work with school kids) people work directly with #k12 kids in #BC."
