The TNRD said it’s still unsafe to return to the Lytton area. It said animal operation will be carefully coordinated using a specialized team in order to ensure the safety of the individuals entering the area, as well as the animals they are attending to.

The TNRD has been in communication with the Lytton First Nation, which is also coordinating something for their residents. Residents of Lytton First Nation should contact their band office to arrange for care or rescue of their animals.
