On June 30, 2021, a fast-moving wildfire burned most of Lytton, British Columbia to the ground. Two people were killed and 90 per cent of the village went up in flames. Three years later, most of Lytton is still empty and construction hasn’t begun on most of the structures that were destroyed. Playwright and actor Kevin Loring and Toronto Star crime reporter Peter Edwards hope that will soon change. The two were born and raised in the village. They join David Common to discuss their new book Lytton: Climate Change, Colonialism and Life Before the Fire, and explore why Lytton has played such a huge role in the fight against climate change.
