Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to many changes in our daily lives. Along the Canada- US border, border restrictions had specific impacts on border communities: family separation, disruption of networks of care, lack of access to essential goods, job and revenue losses and others. While the impacts of the pandemic on border communities were covered by both national and local news outlets in Canada and the United States, the share of coverage that focused specifically – or included mentions of border communities – is limited. The aim of this project was to capture, collect and archive the stories from border residents along the Canada-US border.
