#Lytton Chinese History Museum & 200 artifacts of Chinese Canadians who built BC's railways in the 1880s were wiped out in the wildfire.

"It's completely unmasked the inequities in our society... It is not the way I ever expected things to happen in this country."
Working on this story reminded me how hungry people are to read about positive news and positive people - especially in their community @cbcottawanews instagram.com/p/CNsiZH9r99y/…
