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: [Clips from Dr. Bonnie Henry's January 3, 2023 interview on CBC's The Early Edition]

URL: https://twitter.com/i/status/1610327741299306496/

Description: Tom Jackman on Twitter: "This morning, @CBCStephenQuinn tried to get BC's Provincial Health Officer to recommend masks without equivocation. Dr. Henry would not. It's not hyperbole to say that more infections will occur over the next weeks and months because of her inability to recommend masking. / There's something Dr. Sueussian about Dr. Henry's approach to masking: I could not, would not on a bus I will not, will not, without a fuss. I will not wear them on a train, I will not wear them near a plane. Not in the dark! Not in a tree! Not in a car! You let me be! / Dr. Henry is the lead public health official in BC, and yet she's apparently being overruled on masks by the @adriandix or @Dave_Eby . Why is she undermining this government's health and safety guidance with her own muddled messaging on masks?"
