LYTTON, B.C. – British Columbia Premier John Horgan and two of his cabinet ministers were flown over the devastated community of Lytton Tuesday where he said there was “literally nothing left” after a wildfire tore through it last Wednesday.
Horgan told a news conference after the flyover that “it was quite moving,” seeing the damage done to the village firsthand.
“There was hope on the west side of the river … but the townsite is virtually gone,” he said.
