The RCMP labelled these burnings suspicious. It appears accelerants were used to help these blazes along.
Then, this past Saturday, St. Ann’s Church and the Chopaka Church also burnt to the ground, with the fires believed to be set an hour apart from each other.

Two more Catholic churches have been burnt down within Indigenous communities in west Canada on Saturday.
The two British Columbia churches, St Ann’s Church and Chopaka Church were completely destroyed by fires which started within an hour of each other. Officers are calling this “suspicious”.
The destruction of these two churches comes after two other churches in the province, the Sacred Heart Church and St. Gregory’s Church, were both destroyed last Monday as Canada celebrated National Indigenous People’s Day. Liquid accelerants are believed to have been used, one fire official said.
