North Vancouver, BC — The First Nations Summit has called upon the provincial government to respond quickly to resolve the labour dispute in Lytton which is impacting the Lytton First Nation.
Ferry services available to shuttle about 400 Lytton First Nations members across the Fraser River to services and workplaces in Lytton have been curtailed to six hours a day because of a labour dispute. As a result, people are being forced to abandon their cars and walk across a railway trestle.
The Lytton First Nation with the support of the Lytton mayor is extremely frustrated with the situation and has engaged in a peaceful protest.
