Lytton, British Columbia, December 19, 2025 — As part of the Government of Canada’s commitment to supporting the rebuild of Lytton following the devastating fire in 2021, the federal government is investing over $14.9 million to support the construction of a new Elders Lodge.

This was announced by Wade Grant, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change and Member of Parliament for Vancouver Quadra, and Chief Jordan Spinks of the Kanaka Bar Indian Band.

This funding will go towards rebuilding the Chief Spintlum Elders Lodge. The new building will be located on the same site as the original before it was lost during the fire. It will have six assisted living units, matching the number of units in the original, with seven additional independent assisted Elder Living Units. Open to all Elders in the community, the Chief Spintlum Elders Lodge will provide culturally appropriate care and wellness.  

The new facility will be constructed to incorporate fire-resistant materials to help safeguard against future wildfire risks. It will also meet net-zero standards—maximizing energy efficiency through the use of renewable energy sources.
