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

URL: https://twitter.com/CapitalDailyVic/status/1501599647655096322/

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."

Description: Nicole Jarvis (She/Her/They/Them) on Twitter: "Hi, I would like to let ppl know that SD 61 (Victoria) has proposed cuts to school counselling in the budget proposal. Next week is the 2 year anniversary of Covid-19 hitting B.C. at large. You guys? We need MORE staffing 4 counsellors, not LESS. 😭 https://sd61.bc.ca/wp-content/uploads/sites/91/2022/03/BAC6-Options-Creation-Workbook-SLT-KM-2022-03-04.pdf?fbclid=IwAR1V-XP78Qb5B-RW1mhVnQcObCt9ttUQSlnYsKhwYIITQdmObqOgijULeq8… #bced / Don’t get me wrong. The Greater Vancouver District does a lot of fantastic work. Including webinar series that are open to any educators in the province. My concern is how on earth could people propose CUTS to counselling? The new community LINK should be value added, @ the least / Share the webinars because they’re hands down awesome (find more archived webinars on diff pages from SD61) https://learn.sd61.bc.ca/middle/webinars/… but can we talk about how our kids and our teens and our educators need way more health supports, please? But no additional counselling in decades🥺"
