3rd Session
42nd Parliament

Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
with
the
blessing
of
the
member
for
Fraser
Nicola
I,
am
proud
to
speak
today
about
the
current
status
of
the
recovery
and
rebuild
taking
place
in
Linton
after
the
entire
town
was
leveled
by
Wildfire.
Over
a
year
ago,
483
days
ago,
today
the
people
of
Linton
experienced
the
worst
possible
tragedy:
the
fast-moving
Litton
Creek
Wildfire,
ripped
through
the
village,
destroying
nearly
everything
the
residents
there
fled
their
homes
and
local
businesses
as
fast
as
they
could,
with
barely
more
than
the
clothes
on
their
backs.

Meanwhile,
in
my
riding
of
Campbell
South
Thompson,
a
similar
level
of
uncertainty
is
felt
by
those
Monty
Lake
and
Paxton
Valley
residents,
who
also
had
their
lives,
turned
upside
down,
losing
their
homes.
Last
summer,
due
to
the
White
Rock
Lake
wildfire
and
in
the
days
ahead,
I
will
speak
to
the
rebuilding
process
taking
place
by
the
resilient
and
determined
people
impacted
by
that
fire,
but
for
today
and
with
respect
to
Linton,
it
is
our
hope
that
residents
there
can
start
to
see
progress
and
feel
hope
about
their
future.
