The mayor of the fire-ravaged community of Lytton, B-C, says rewriting the village's bylaws from scratch will be about as entertaining as going to the dentist but it's another necessary step in rebuilding.
Mayor Jan Polderman says the village's records and backup servers were lost in the wildfire that razed the village last summer with the content of many of its bylaws now left unknown.
Municipal Affairs Minister Josie Osborne introduced legislation yesterday that will allow Lytton to replace and rewrite its governance laws destroyed in the disaster.
The government also announced 8-point-3 million dollars to support ongoing operations and recovery for the village.
