The Tyee
Five years after the fire, the future of the village is the subject of intense local debate. A smattering of homes has slowly risen from a vast plain of gravel. Progress is happening, even if it is slow and tedious. But trauma lingers, and many Lyttonites are concerned that new federally funded buildings will become unaffordable white elephants. On top of it all, a recent auditor general’s report shone a light on the imperfect relationships between the local municipality and surrounding First Nations.
