COVID-19: Vancouver Island, BC (Central & North)

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]

Duncan-North Cowichan Referendum 2018

Archived since: Jun, 2018

Description:

In 2018, citizens of the municipalities of North Cowichan and the City of Duncan voted in a referendum on whether or not to amalgamate. This referendum followed an earlier referendum in November 2014, when voters in both municipalities were asked: “Are you in favor of spending time and resources to study the costs and benefits of the amalgamation of the municipalities of North Cowichan and the City of Duncan?” The 2014 outcome in favour of studying the matter of amalgamation led to the formation of a Citizens’ Assembly on Municipal Amalgamation, which reached consensus and issued a recommendation in May 2017 in favour of amalgamating the two municipalities. On June 23, 2018, the referendum was held on this question: “Do you support The Corporation of the District of North Cowichan and The Corporation of the City of Duncan amalgamating into a new municipality?” For amalgamation to pass required the support of more than 50 per cent of voters in each municipality. In response to the question, roughly 59 per cent of residents in North Cowichan voted for the amalgamation while 68 per cent of people in Duncan voted against it. Consequently, the referendum did not pass and amalgamation did not proceed. Matters and representations related to amalgamation that were explored through this process and referendum are of interest not only to citizens of the two municipalities, but also to researchers, policy makers, and other levels of government, including other BC municipalities, such as Saanich and Victoria, that are considering amalgamation.
