Federal Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair says Ottawa is reaffirming its support of Lytton's recovery on the anniversary of the devastating wildfire that destroyed 90 per cent of the village last June.
Blair also thanked first responders, volunteers and community members who stepped up over the past year.
The federal government announced 77 million dollars in funding earlier this month to help rebuild a fire-resistant and energy-efficient community.
BC's public safety minister Mike Farnworth says he expects many houses and the municipal infrastructure to be rebuilt by this time next year.
