OPEN LETTER TO LYTTO​N & ALL WHO LOVE THIS COMMUNITY

🌫️πŸ”₯ OPEN LETTER TO LYTTO​N & ALL WHO LOVE THIS COMMUNITY πŸ”₯🌫️

πŸ’” A Town Lost in 23 Minutes — And Still Waiting to Rebuild πŸ’”

To the people of Lytton, the surrounding communities, and everyone who still carries this pain:

What happened to Lytton wasn’t just a wildfire.
It was one of the most heartbreaking tragedies in Canadian history.
A town erased in 23 minutes...
πŸ’¨πŸ”₯ Homes gone
πŸ’¨πŸ”₯ Memories gone
πŸ’¨πŸ”₯ Lives forever changed

And all of it happened during the deadly heat dome — the same brutal event that took 600+ lives in B.C. πŸ’”πŸ”₯

This wasn’t just nature.
This was trauma.
This was shock.
This was a community watching everything it loved disappear in front of its eyes.

Years later…
🏚️ No businesses
🏚️ No main street
🏚️ No heart of the town restored

The grief hasn’t ended.
The healing hasn’t fully begun.
And the silence? It’s crushing.

Today, we honour the voices of those who lived this nightmare.
One resident said the fire came like “an enemy in a surprise attack,” leaving emotional casualties everywhere. ❤️‍🩹πŸ”₯
That pain is real. That memory is real. That loss is real.

To Lytton First Nation leadership,
To the Village of Lytton mayor and council,
To the provincial and federal governments:

Please — we are asking with hope and with urgency:

πŸ™ Explore every grant
πŸ™ Every funding program
πŸ™ Every heritage initiative
πŸ™ Every rebuilding opportunity

Rebuild storefronts and spaces that honour Lytton’s soul — including the beautiful era of the old hotel that meant so much to the community. 🏨🀎

Rebuilding is not just construction.
It’s healing. πŸ•Š️
It’s dignity. ✊
It’s giving people back their home. 🏑❤️

Lytton survived the unimaginable.
Now it needs action — real action — from those with the power to make change.

🌟 To the people of Lytton: 🌟
You deserve safety.
You deserve community.
You deserve honour.
You deserve your town back.

We see you. πŸ‘️❤️
We remember. πŸ•―️
We stand with you — now and always. πŸ€πŸ’›

And yes… many still believe in miracles. ✨πŸ™
But Lytton shouldn’t have to wait for miracles.
It deserves commitment, compassion, and rebuilding — now.
