Checking in with Lytton’s history keepers

On June 30, 2021 a firestorm destroyed the village of Lytton in a matter of minutes. Homes, businesses and the community’s museums were wiped out. BCHF’s Mark Forsythe visited Lytton in September to speak with Richard Forrest from Lytton Museum & Archives, Lorna Fandrich from the Lytton Chinese History Museum, and John Haugen of the Lytton First Nation. They all lost important collections, but each is determined to rebuild.
