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: [Response to bylaw officers removing tents for "people who tested positive for COVID and had nowhere to go"] | The Back Pack Project

URL: https://twitter.com/TheBackPackPro1/status/1442256184254210048/

Description: The Back Pack Project Victoria BC on Twitter: "I have just been informed that the tent that was being set up for people who tested positive for Covid and had nowhere to go was confiscated by Bylaw today. And all the supplies that I brought them last night are gone. 1/1 / I brought in two cots and one folding bed. Five heavy duty sleeping bags.Tarps blankets pillows and an assortment of household medical supplies such as a fingertip oxygen monitor, blood pressure monitor, masks gloves, hand sanitizer, all brand new. Gone. 1/2 / The person who is trying to put this together had all of their personal belongs in the second tent nearby. And it was confiscated as well. House keys, medication, and ID. Anything that was brand new in packages was taken, anything that was open or used was left on the ground 1/3 / After Bylaw left, I am told that they had to turn away seven people who were sick and looking for respite. They had to turn them away in the pouring rain. I am devastated and heartbroken and utterly shocked that we are so woefully unprepared and cruel. 1/3 / Make no mistake. This is a war on the poor. We are NOT all in this together. We have been allowing attacks and hate and stigma against marginalized vulnerable people to go on unchallenged for far too long. And people are suffering. Shame on us all. 💔 / And if the powers that be, come up with ANY solutions after today they need to KNOW THIS!….👉🏻 MATS ON THE FLOOR ARE COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE IN A PANDEMIC! #HousingIsAhumanRight #HousingforAll #NoOneLeftBehind"
