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: Since the time that the COVID-19 pandemic became a reality in British Columbia our school community has had to quickly shift from predominantly focusing on education to a focus on community support. As we prepare to welcome some of our learners back for in-class instruction on June 1st, it gives us time to pause and reflect on the work that has been done to ensure all of our community gets what it needs to thrive during this time.

Title: Appreciating Fatima Da Silva and the Nourish Cowichan Society | YouTube | Sonia Furstenau

URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjyLDoPdC0o

Description: Today I stood in the Legislature to express my admiration and gratitude for Fatima Da Silva and the Nourish Cowichan Society. When COVID-19 hit, Nourish hit the ground running, working with SD 79 to ensure that the children who had been relying on healthy food at schools were getting that healthy food delivered to their homes. Over 5,000 food hampers have been delivered since March, 800 families are getting food each week, and 200 more are on the wait-list. Child poverty and hunger deserves our attention, and we need to put our efforts to solving it. Fatima, and other volunteers, are not waiting for us. I'm so proud, so amazed and so grateful for my dear friend Fatima, who embodies everything that all of us should strive to be in our lives.
