A
In
nanaimo
we
are
learning
from
the
pandemic
from
the
staff
and
students
at
vancouver.
Island
university
biu
has
found
new
ways
for
its
trade
students
to
continue
learning
their
carpentry
department
with
nanaimo
builder.
Ken
graywall
is
building
a
north
end
duplex
with
nine
students
in
each
unit,
so
they
can
work
in
two
teams
and
ensure
physical
distancing,
a
cam
fournette,
their
carpentry
instructor
says:

we
teach
workplace
safety
in
all
our
trades
classes.
This
is
just
an
additional
layer
of
safe
practice.
Our
students
are
learning
another
example.
A
Students
are
keeping
everybody
connected
and
learning
through
this
time
they
transform
their
annual
leadership
conference
into
a
month-long
virtual
event.
The
iu
turned
one
of
its
state-of-the-art
labs
into
a
health,
canada
approved
hand
sanitizing
manufacturing
facility.
So
it
wasn't
just
the
distilleries
that
did
this
and
bius
researching
the
ways
that
covid19
is
affecting
our
region
and
how
to
improve
responses
in
the
future
and
there's
about
10
different
programs,
one
of
them
healthcare
professionals
with
depression
and
ptsd,
which
is
something
that
hits
the
sector
hard
anyway.
A
Those
that
have
been
had
this
exacerbated
through
the
pandemic.
They're
part
of
a
study
using
ketamine,
assisted
psychotherapy,
quality
of
life
and
housing
situations
are
being
researched,
creating
a
web
archive
of
coveted
impacts
for
scholars
and
citizens
to
access
in
the
future.
I'm
studying
what
has
been
the
impact
of
new
ways
of
delivering
teaching
through
k
to
12
for
teachers
and
students
and
all
school
employees.
All
these
are
being
researched
out
of
vancouver
island
university
in
nanaimo
for
the
benefit
of
the
whole
province.
