Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government stands ready to provide whatever support people need in British Columbia.
A wildfire has devastated the town of Lytton and an extreme heat-wave is scorching towns and cities right across the province.
Trudeau says while our thoughts today are with families that are grieving, we also have to recognize that extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and climate change is playing a significant role.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says federal officials have been reaching out to their provincial counterparts.
Trudeau says we need to commit ourselves every day to reducing our emissions and to showing global leadership on climate change.
