On the 5th Anniversary of #Lytton burning in a #heatwave that killed hundreds of people in Western Canada, Carney shows his love for dirty fossil fuels. Heatwaves are becoming more dangerous because of climate arsonists like Carney. And solar and wind are less expensive. #bcpoli #climate #cdnpoli

They cause fires and wildfires. The losses are phenomenal. The impacts are long lasting, if not forever changing the environment.
It’s hard enough, the influences and impacts of climate change. Stop being stupid.

How #Indigenous #FoodSovereignty can improve #FoodSecurity
Sustainable Bites: Food and Our Future What can we do to help make our food systems more sustainable? UBC researchers share small steps that can make a big collective impact.
March 24, 2025
"Indigenous households experience food insecurity at rates two to three times higher than non-Indigenous households in Canada. #Agroecologist Dr. #JenniferGrenz, an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Forestry and Faculty of Land and Food Systems, studies Indigenous food sovereignty and food systems, and how to revitalize them.
Did you know?
#Kwetlal, or #camas, a lily-like plant with a starchy bulb, was an important staple for #IndigenousPeoples along the #SalishSea.
Kwetlal was cultivated in Garry oak #ecosystems by #W̱SÁNEĆ and Quw’utsun Peoples, until #colonization nearly destroyed these unique food systems.What does Indigenous food sovereignty mean?
" 'Indigenous food sovereignty is the reclamation and revitalization of our food systems,' says Dr. Grenz, who is Nlaka’pamux of mixed ancestry, whose family comes from the #Lytton First Nation. She grew up and lives on the coast of BC.
"The lands across #BritishColumbia, Dr. Grenz explains, were purposefully shaped since time immemorial for foods, medicines and technologies by the Indigenous Peoples who lived there until colonial settlers dispossessed them of their lands, culture and traditions.
" 'Indigenous food sovereignty is also about #CulturalResurgence: being able to access those foods and medicines again and find new ones as we face a changing climate,' said Dr. Grenz. 'Heal the people, heal the land. Heal the land, heal the people. I think that’s really what food sovereignty is about.'
"Revitalizing Indigenous food systems can help diversify and localize food systems in ways that could buffer against #FoodInsecurity in a changing climate.
"Dr. Grenz’s research team is working alongside Indigenous communities impacted by the 2021 heat dome and wildfires to understand the effects on culturally important plants.
" 'If you think of land as just vegetation and an aesthetic notion of what belongs, you’re going to have very different approaches and different outcomes to recovery than if you see that land as a food system, not just for humans, but for our animal, bird, fish and insect relations,' says Dr. Grenz. 'We’re working alongside communities to develop those Indigenized processes around wildfire recovery that honour Indigenous food systems, sustainability and resiliency.”'
How can #Settlers support the revitalization of Indigenous food systems?"Learn about the histories of the lands you live on and what the traditional food systems were, what they are now and what they could be, says Dr. Grenz.
"Incorporating reciprocity into your relationship with the land is also important. 'Learn about the plants of those lands and find a way to invite them into your life. How can you take care of them, nurture them and steward them?' asks Dr. Grenz.
"One way might be to Indigenize your own back yard or community garden. Or learn about Indigenous food system protocols and the concept of '#HonourableHarvest.'
How can land-based learning support Indigenous food sovereignty?"Land-based learning is an opportunity to get students and people out on the land—and start taking steps to give back while they are learning.
"At #UBCFarm, Dr. Grenz and students are starting two different Indigenous food systems to work as part of the agrarian food system that exists there — 'essentially bridging two food systems, #decolonizing and #Indigenizing our understandings of what foods are and how those two systems work together to benefit both.'
"In one, they are establishing a Garry oak ecosystem and growing camas, which is a traditional food system of the W̱SÁNEĆ and Quw’utsun Peoples. Another type of #ForestGarden, similar to other Coast #Salish, #Tsimshian or #Haida food systems, will see the forest shaped by different plants like beaked #hazelnut, #elderberry, #salmonberry and #thimbleberry.The students will be able to practice how to care for plants ordinarily thought of as forest plants, and 'learn how to reclaim traditional #LandStewardship practices to actually increase the production of those berries.' "

"Indigenous households experience food insecurity at rates two to three times higher than non-Indigenous households in Canada. #Agroecologist Dr. #JenniferGrenz, an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Forestry and Faculty of Land and Food Systems, studies Indigenous food sovereignty and food systems, and how to revitalize them.
Did you know?
#Kwetlal, or #camas, a lily-like plant with a starchy bulb, was an important staple for #IndigenousPeoples along the #SalishSea.
Kwetlal was cultivated in Garry oak #ecosystems by #W̱SÁNEĆ and Quw’utsun Peoples, until #colonization nearly destroyed these unique food systems.What does Indigenous food sovereignty mean?
" 'Indigenous food sovereignty is the reclamation and revitalization of our food systems,' says Dr. Grenz, who is Nlaka’pamux of mixed ancestry, whose family comes from the #Lytton First Nation. She grew up and lives on the coast of BC.
"The lands across #BritishColumbia, Dr. Grenz explains, were purposefully shaped since time immemorial for foods, medicines and technologies by the Indigenous Peoples who lived there until colonial settlers dispossessed them of their lands, culture and traditions.
" 'Indigenous food sovereignty is also about #CulturalResurgence: being able to access those foods and medicines again and find new ones as we face a changing climate,' said Dr. Grenz. 'Heal the people, heal the land. Heal the land, heal the people. I think that’s really what food sovereignty is about.'
"Revitalizing Indigenous food systems can help diversify and localize food systems in ways that could buffer against #FoodInsecurity in a changing climate.
"Dr. Grenz’s research team is working alongside Indigenous communities impacted by the 2021 heat dome and wildfires to understand the effects on culturally important plants.
" 'If you think of land as just vegetation and an aesthetic notion of what belongs, you’re going to have very different approaches and different outcomes to recovery than if you see that land as a food system, not just for humans, but for our animal, bird, fish and insect relations,' says Dr. Grenz. 'We’re working alongside communities to develop those Indigenized processes around wildfire recovery that honour Indigenous food systems, sustainability and resiliency.”'
How can #Settlers support the revitalization of Indigenous food systems?"Learn about the histories of the lands you live on and what the traditional food systems were, what they are now and what they could be, says Dr. Grenz.
"Incorporating reciprocity into your relationship with the land is also important. 'Learn about the plants of those lands and find a way to invite them into your life. How can you take care of them, nurture them and steward them?' asks Dr. Grenz.
"One way might be to Indigenize your own back yard or community garden. Or learn about Indigenous food system protocols and the concept of '#HonourableHarvest.'
How can land-based learning support Indigenous food sovereignty?"Land-based learning is an opportunity to get students and people out on the land—and start taking steps to give back while they are learning.
"At #UBCFarm, Dr. Grenz and students are starting two different Indigenous food systems to work as part of the agrarian food system that exists there — 'essentially bridging two food systems, #decolonizing and #Indigenizing our understandings of what foods are and how those two systems work together to benefit both.'
"In one, they are establishing a Garry oak ecosystem and growing camas, which is a traditional food system of the W̱SÁNEĆ and Quw’utsun Peoples. Another type of #ForestGarden, similar to other Coast #Salish, #Tsimshian or #Haida food systems, will see the forest shaped by different plants like beaked #hazelnut, #elderberry, #salmonberry and #thimbleberry.The students will be able to practice how to care for plants ordinarily thought of as forest plants, and 'learn how to reclaim traditional #LandStewardship practices to actually increase the production of those berries.'

#Lytton residents will have their class-action lawsuit against Canada’s two major railway companies heard in the B.C. Supreme Court, thanks partly to new evidence of high brake temperatures on a train passing through the community shortly before the town burned.
Amanda Follett Hosgood reports.

THE NICOLA VALLEY WAS THE CENTRE OF THE HBC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, in sense, as every road they used between #Kamloops and #FortLangley, or any road to the Forks of the Thompson River #Lytton, or to the Okanagan, passed through the extensive grasslands of the Nicola Valley. #AmWriting #History #TheHBCBrigades https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/nicola-valley/

Thanks.
Yeah, 50°C / 122°F heatwaves in Paris by 2050 to me sounds too low for city planning. Even "by late 2030s" as proposed now sounds too low.#Lytton in West Canada already hit 50°C . It's 200km further North of the equator than Paris. Lytton hasn't got the microclimate of 100 km2 of buildings, their air conditioning units and hot air release, cars, and paved surfaces.
But both locations can suffer heatdome conditions, and the jetstream funnelling in desert heat from 1500km further South.50°C in Paris to me sounds plausible for summer 2026.
Among other things, this good new documentary with Rockström, Daniel Swain, Reto Knutti and Erich Fischer (who is IPCC lead author for AR7 chapter "Projections of regional climate and extremes") also explains the meteorological ingredients of Lytton's 50°C event

On Monday, the Cantilever Bar fire broke out 10 kilometres south of the village. One major factor slowing the blaze’s spread: the area’s history with wildfires.
It demonstrates a key principle that provides hope for residents in the province’s fire-struck Interior, reports Tyler Olsen. #Lytton
