The other outbreak:<\/b> Camosun announced a measles vaccination clinic to open on both campuses in the February 18, 1997 issue of Nexus<\/i>. This initiative was in response to an outbreak of red measles that saw 66 confirmed cases on the lower mainland in the previous two weeks. Oh, to go back to the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, when cases in BC had not yet reached the hundreds, and people were stuck at home fearfully making sourdough bread and gardening.<\/p>\n

Third-wave feminism:<\/b> This issue also offered an avant-garde and intellectual take on what it really means to be a feminist. The writer stressed that the feminist movement was suffering from an overbearing presence of the middle-class white woman\u2019s agenda, which \u201ccan foster classist and racist tendencies under the guise of ‘social activism.’\u201d I think a lot of people in today\u2019s Instagram-activist era would benefit from being reminded of this.<\/p>\n

At the time of publication they had 20 members, and noted plans to publish their info on the \u201cWorld Wide Web.\u201d Today, car-share services are abundant in Victoria, and you\u2019re likely to see Evo vehicles all over the place downtown, as well as in their parking spots at Camosun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
