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: Investigation: RCMP misled the public about pepper spray incident at Fairy Creek | YouTube | Capital Daily

URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJ8m3PtTZfM

Description: On Aug. 21, RCMP officers pepper sprayed protesters at Fairy Creek. They said they did so to protect an officer—who they said had been pushed—from a hostile crowd. A joint investigation from Capital Daily and Ricochet has found none of that was true. The investigation was sparked by a routine due-diligence check after the RCMP told @JackieLamport their reasoning. We asked for any records that could back up the police story. None was provided. Video footage emerged soon after the pepper spray incident, however. We watched more than 90 minutes of footage, frame-by-frame, from nine different angles. It directly contradicts what the RCMP said happened.

Title: [Proposed counselling budget cuts at Greater Victoria School District concern parents and teachers] | Capital Daily

Description: Capital Daily on Twitter: "As the Greater Victoria School District (SD61) stares ahead at a $7.2-million deficit, some parents and teachers fear that in-school counselling could suffer as a result of proposed cuts. / The board has explored eliminating a total of 19 counselling-related roles in order to save a combined $1.77 million—nearly a quarter of all proposed cuts. Of the affected roles, 9 would involve family, youth, and outreach workers, and 8 would involve full-time counsellors. / “It is unbelievable that [the board] would even consider this in light of all the attention to mental health—especially with the effect of the pandemic on children,” Gayle Read, a concerned grandparent and longtime child and youth mental health clinician, told Capital Daily."

People within and outside the crowd signalled and shouted to one another to move away. / On the question of the officer needing evacuation: video shows the officer participated in an arrest after he fell. He walked away from the scene. Paramedics say they did not evacuate him; police then said he was taken by police helicopter to a hospital. / We have asked the RCMP repeatedly for any evidence to back up their claims, which could include flight records, body-cam footage, hospital records, an interview with the officer who fell, or any other evidence. None has been provided. / This reporting was made possible by the generous support of the Misinformation Project by @jhrnews .

Description: Today we are looking at more of the impacts of the ongoing COVID case surge. Businesses and service providers are struggling to stay fully operational due to a lack of healthy and available staff. At the same time, many workers who are healthy enough to work in person fear they will not remain that way due to a lack of adequate protections. Below, we look at local examples of this: more closures of LifeLabs testing centres, and concerns from regional district and childcare workers.
