Poster 10: Gathering Oral Histories for a COVID-19 Community Archive

Summary

The Covid-19 Community Archive was created in 2020, shortly after the pandemic began and enabled anyone in Saskatchewan to share their story. Over time, researchers noticed a need to seek out missing perspectives to ensure the archive was more representative. This poster focuses on interviews with one of our lead community partners, the Saskatoon Inter-agency Response to COVID-19. This network of over 40 community based organizations cooperated on a COVID-19 response strategy that emphasized health equity during a moment of crisis and their interventions and advocacy and successfully influenced municipal responses to COVID in Saskatoon.
