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: "Every death is a tragedy, but after 2 years, what we did in #yyj is *incredible*"

URL: https://twitter.com/Adam_Stirling/status/1502418326403776512/

Description: Adam Stirling on Twitter: "Every death is a tragedy, but after 2 years, what we did in #yyj is *incredible* We saved *thousands* of lives. 227 deaths among 870,000 people. @VanIslandHealth = 261 deaths / million ppl. USA = 2,998 / million. TEN TIMES more. We avoided 90% of fatalities, statistically / The math is so insane it looks like it can’t be real. But it is… We saved almost everybody. Our community became one of the safest on the face of the earth. It might be the most important thing we’ll ever do. I treated it like it will be for me. It was do or die. And we did it / Sorry for yelling about Covid for literally 2 years. Some people say my (perhaps pathological?) focus & determination helped them find their own resolve to keep pushing. If that’s true, it’s the best compliment I’ll ever get. I just didn’t want to bury the people I cared about… / I recorded this 721 days ago… Thank you to everybody who stuck around since then. I’ll never forget it. #yyj"

Description: Jana Kim on Twitter: "I encourage parents in @sd61schools to contact @WhittenDeb and SD61 Trustees to ask that they continue with the K-12 mask mandate in order to protect vulnerable families. While you may be healthy, not everyone is. Please support the safety of at-risk families in our district. / I want to add: NO ONE LIKES WEARING MASKS. This pandemic SUCKS. We want it over with. It's been particularly stressful for the at-risk folks! I don't want masks forever but I *do* want evidence-based safety in our schools while community transmission is high. / If you can't grasp that masks help reduce transmission of an airborne virus by keeping virus out of the shared air, thus reducing the chance of everyone in the classroom inhaling it... then you shouldn't be PHO, Dr. Bonnie Henry. #fireBonnie"
