The SPOKES bike upcycling and loan centre is still The SPOKES bike upcycling and loan centre is still closed. They originally shuttered their doors last spring and they are still unclear on what requirements UVic needs them to meet in order to re-open. Mikael Jansson, a long-time volunteer with SPOKES, is frustrated and confused by communications from the Office of Campus Planning & Sustainability (OCPS), which provides some financial support to SPOKES, but has never formally been responsible for the organization. “Students contact us all the time saying, ‘Hey, are you open yet?’” said Jansson. “And I say, I don’t know. I was hoping for next week. I was hoping for next week back in June 2020.” After more than a year of back and forth communication with the university, SPOKES is still unclear on the exact criteria they need to meet in order to reopen.

For the majority of the 2020-2021 academic year, t For the majority of the 2020-2021 academic year, the UVic campus was essentially deserted — slackliners were absent from the quad, there was never a queue at BiblioCafé, residence parties were prohibited, and classrooms and offices were mostly dark and empty. The normal crowds of thousands of Blundstone-wearing and Patagonia-sporting students were nowhere to be seen. As students return to campus, questions remain about how UVic will respond to the pandemic. Although the future is debatably more uncertain than ever, UVic’s response to COVID-19 over the past year can give the university community some indication of where we might be heading.
