UVic Peloton rides for cancer research
The Tour de Cure fundraiser for cancer research has been a focus for Kara White and me for several years. Back in 2016 (when it was known as the Ride to Conquer Cancer) I had the opportunity to participate in the two-day, 200-km ride for the first time.
Managing the university’s response to a pandemic
A Q and A with Manager, Emergency Planning Rob Johns about UVic's emergency response structure and the pre-planning that is done year-round, the foundation for UVic’s rapid response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Day in the Life: Rob Johns
The Ring
Rob Johns has seen first-hand the destruction and chaos that large-scale disasters can cause. In his previous role with the City of Victoria, UVic’s new manager of emergency planning visited Louisiana and Mississippi following Hurricane Katrina, and Christchurch, New Zealand after its major earthquakes. “Seeing such massive damage really drives home the importance of emergency planning,” Johns says. “Especially in Christchurch, with its similarities to Victoria in terms of earthquake risks and impacts, I was forcefully reminded that, while we can’t prevent these disasters from happening, we can and must prepare for them.”
