In response to the Lytton Creek Fire of 2021, Savage Society established a  relief fund to support the people of Lytton, BC including friends, family, Elders, young ones and four-legged companions, who had been displaced and impacted by the wildfire.

 

tlKumcheen, the place where the blood mixes at the convergence of the great rivers, is home to our Artistic Director Kevin Loring.

The fund raised a total of $534,388, all of which is directed toward supporting the community.  To date, $460,000 has been paid out to 234 recipients.   

 

Fund distribution is guided by a N’lakapamux community advisory committee to ensure support reaches those in need in line with the spirit and intent of the fundraiser. We partnered with The Lookout Societyto disperse these funds. The Lookout Society distributes funds as directed by an N’lakapamux-led community advisory committee.

 

Savage Society does not charge administrative costs against the fund.  The money raised is directed to support recipients.

 

Recipients of the fund include Lytton First Nation members and other Lytton and area residents whose homes were destroyed in either the 2021 Lytton Creek, 2022 Nohonim Creek and 2026 Saw Creek Fires. 

 

In addition to financial support, Savage Society, our community partners and volunteers collected and distributed donated goods through the Lytton Fire Community Fire Response Team.
