2 Rivers Remix Society posted video to Vimeo of Lytton, B.C. on fire after Lytton recorded the highest temperature ever in Canada of 49.6 degrees yesterday. These scenes are absolutely horrifying. #LyttonBC#Lyttonvimeo.com/569655524
The Village of Lytton was ordered to evacuate three hours ago. #LyttonBC#Lytton
There is now a GoFundMe that says it is set up for Lytton and those who have lost everything. If you wish to donate, the link is here. #LyttonBC#Lyttongofundme.com/f/Helping-our-…

#BREAKING B.C. Chief Coroner Lisa LaPointe says there has been a significant increase in deaths where it is suspected that extreme heat 'has been contributory.' Normal: 130 deaths from Fri. to Mon. At least 233 deaths over the past 4 days. #bcpoli#bcheat#bc
Wait times for ambulances and help are suffering. In Burnaby, there have been 34 sudden deaths (15 yesterday, 19 as of noon today). LaPointe says the death total will rise as new data is added. #bcpoli#bcheat#bcburnabynow.com/bc-news/bc-hea…
In Vancouver, a police spokesperson said officers have responded to 65 sudden deaths since Friday but that its tally is
“changing by the hour as people are sadly discovering loved ones.” #bcpoli#bcheat#bc

The pandemic has been in Canada, and B.C., for one year. But today, as a member of the media, was the most disappointing day I think I’ve experienced today covering it #bcpoli#bced#covid19#COVIDBC#COVID
Today’s briefing felt like a 100 per cent scripted show. As variant cases continue to grow, we’re told B.C. has such low numbers but the attitude given off today by officials made it sound like ‘our numbers are low, we’re fine.’ #bcpoli#bced#covid19#COVIDBC#COVID
