#Lytton Chinese History Museum & 200 artifacts of Chinese Canadians who built BC's railways in the 1880s were wiped out in the wildfire.

Two months ago, the 4-year-old museum (a family-owned passion project) won an award for its work. #BCWildfires #bcpoli

I am still in shock. I am 67, legally blind, and had never done anything like this in my life before last year. I just wanted to give a voice to those who didn’t have one. I am humbled, and so grateful.
