The small village of Lytton in British Columbia hit the global media when it smashed Canada's highest temperature record in June 2021, at 49.6C. Two days later, a wildfire burned the entire village to the ground. In the ashes of their homes, this cohesive but diverse community, which includes a majority of First Nations people, had to confront the realities of climate displacement by being relocated away from their ancestral lands.
