Untold Stories of Resilience: Part 1 of 2 - Lytton BC Operation Lookback: Meet Lorna In the summer of 2021, a raging fire tore through Lytton, BC, destroying the entire town, including the Chinese History Museum and its invaluable artifacts. Team Rubicon Canada and the British Columbia Heritage Emergency Response Network (BC HERN) quickly united to recover these precious pieces of history from the ashes. Nestled in British Columbia, this museum holds historical significance as it preserves the heritage of Chinese immigrants who shaped Lytton since the 1800s. Our Greyshirts, alongside BC HERN conservators, meticulously combed through the ruins, rescuing nearly 200 items, from delicate jade figurines to historic railway teapots. These artifacts, now safeguarded, will soon narrate a story of survival and renewal in a new exhibit. Join us as we delve into Lorna's inspiring journey and witness how these treasures survived the blaze to keep history alive. Your support makes a difference for people like Lorna. Donate to our mission today and help communities like Lytton build back stronger: https://bit.ly/4bfTqOg #DisasterRecovery #SocialImpact #Community #HelpingHands #MakeADifference #LyttonStrong #Humanitarian

Lisa Eisen, Co-President of Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Philanthropies, encourages Jewish funders to stay focused, committed and courageous in this fraught moment. "Ceding our spot at the table of humanity will not serve us, now or in the future. Our job as funders and practitioners is not to unravel the sacred bonds of our tribal and prophetic responsibilities, but rather to hold both. To choose both."

The ongoing wildfires across British Columbia and Alberta are undeniable evidence of the imminent risk that natural disasters pose to arts, culture, and heritage institutions, the collections they safeguard, and the communities they serve. 📋 A 2023 survey by the BC Museums Association found over 50% of museums believe that the risk facing their collections is moderate or higher to severe. When faced with an emergency, even minutes of response time can make the difference between preservation and destruction. The BC Heritage Emergency Response Network (BC HERN) and the BC Museums Association (BCMA) partnered in 2021 to create a new contingency fund that will allow skilled heritage emergency responders to mobilize and begin recovery and salvage efforts for museums, galleries, and cultural organizations across BC when emergencies strike. To date, nearly $20,000 has been raised in preparation for future emergency responses. Each dollar you donate helps museums to prepare for the worst and helps to protect irreplaceable heritage from being lost forever. ➡️ Learn more about this initiative and how you can support on the BCMA website: https://lnkd.in/drUM5ehB #BCMA #BCCulture #BCHeritage #BCMuseums #ClimateChange #ClimateEmergency @BCHERN
