Three dead in back country accident Three young Lytton adults are dead and a 16 year old was seriously injured after the group’s pickup truck went off the road and down a steep embankment in the Botanie Valley last Thursday. In the afternoon of June 11, Lytton RCMP received a report of three missing people who were due to return from the Pasulko Lake area where they had been foraging for food. An initial search of the area came up empty. The search resumed the following day with assistance from the Pemberton Search and Rescue, an RCMP Helicopter from Kamloops, and community members including family members. A vehicle associated to the missing group was quickly located down an embankment with two women and one man, all in their 20s, located deceased at the scene. The teenager was found in the truck and had to be extricated. The investigation into the crash is in the preliminary stages and the causal factors are not yet known. The identities of the deceased are being withheld pending notification of next of kin. All were from the Lytton area.

VICTORIA - “The bargaining teams worked hard through the weekend and progress was made,” said Education Minister Peter Fassbender on Tuesday afternoon. “On Sunday, the British Columbia Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) tabled a comprehensive proposal to help end the stalemate, get kids back in school and create long-term stability for parents, students and teachers. “I believe that both parties want this dispute resolved. If the BCTF wants to get a deal done they need to get back to bargaining and put all their cards on the table. While they’ve moved on their wage demands, they have not provided clear answers on what other cost items are still on the table. “As BCPSEA demonstrated last week and through the weekend, they are ready to bargain 24/7. We want to see an agreement by June 30 so everyone can head into the summer with this dispute behind us and the knowledge the system is on a path to long-term stability.”
