Family of Kootenay Lake teacher amazed with generosity, support from community
By Nelson Daily Staff
A GoFundMe page set up to help a local Kootenay Lake School District teacher involved in a car accident last Friday on Highway 3A, near Grohman Narrows Provincial Park has been suspended due to the overwhelming support from the community.
“We have decided to close the campaign for now,” the GoFundMe page said.
“We are just beside ourselves with the generosity and support you have all shown. What an amazing demonstration in community.”
Cam Lytle, a teacher at Trafalgar Middle School, was in a vehicle that collided with another at approximately 4:50 p.m. Friday afternoon.
A GoFundMe page was created by a friend to help Nicola Lytle and family deal with expenses.
The GoFundMe page was created Sunday and capped at $30,920 from 319 people donating in three days.

A GoFundMe page has been set up to help a local Kootenay Lake School District teacher involved in a car accident Friday on Highway 3A, near Grohman Narrows Provincial Park.
Cam Lytle, a teacher at Trafalgar Middle School, was in a vehicle that collided with another at approximately 4:50 p.m. Friday afternoon.
The accident, which forced the detour of traffic to Granite Road, closed the highway for hours as emergency response teams, Police, Fire and Ambulance, dealt with the injuries.
Lytle was taken to local hospital before being air-ambulanced to Kelowna Regional Hospital where he continues to recover.
A GoFundMe page was created by a friend to help Nicola Lytle and family deal with expenses.
“We’re trying to raise housing cost help for Nicola and the boys as they look like they may have a long stay away from Nelson,” the GoFundMe page said. “Thank you for your love and attention.”
The GoFundMe page was created Sunday and has already exceeded the goal of $5,000 as more than 120 people have donated to the current total of $10,390.
