My daughter’s best friend and her partner lost their home to a housefire last night, barely escaping through a broken window.

Sadly, they lost everything, including their 2 beautiful pets. The family vehicle and all their personal belongings were also lost in the fire.

If you’re in position to be able to donate, please do. Sharing this post also helps get it to people who can financially help, your generosity is greatly appreciated.

🙏 xxooo

Hey Langley, please don’t be fooled by the snazzy little videos of our current Mayor; trying desperately to keep his job.

His sparkly new videos are a flashy distraction from the truth, not to mention he cut off ALL comments so nobody can ask questions or debate any of his statements on Facebook OR on Instagram - he deletes comments he doesn’t like or just ignores them.

It’s called machine-gun marketing. A one way road that bombards you with his stories, leaving no room for dialogue, debate, discourse or questioning. Just his fan club (or perhaps fake accounts?) making comments fluffing up his ego with their false praise.

Don’t fall for it.

‼️ October 17,2026, please vote for a new Mayor without a slanted slate and 100% financial transparency.

There are at least 700 million reasons why….
(That’s our debt load right now, $700-$800 million)

Is it just me or is it crazy for a community of our size to be spending $279 million on 2 sports facilities??

A Feb. 23, 2026 Township of Langley council agenda item tied to the draft capital budget shows how two major sports projects are being financed in the 2026 budget. Staff recommended that council fu…

**Updated April 13, 2026 - the developer has been extremely responsive and respectful enough to send over documents pertaining to this development over the weekend. The petition has been updated with the links to his documents pertaining to Waste Water and Design plans. You can view them on the original petition link. (Thank you Tim Bonktes, from Infiniti Properties for the kind and thorough approach to our concerns, it is refreshing to see professionalism and respect in local politics, regardless of what side we are on).

🚨 - TOL Council Meeting is Monday April 14, 2026, we need to submit our letter and petition Monday morning**

Residents of the Hopington and Salmon River Uplands area of Langley are already living with arsenic, manganese, and iron in their well water above safe health limits. Wells are failing. Water pressure is dropping. Some families have spent thousands drilling deeper wells and purchasing extremely expensive filtration systems, just to access safe water.

Now, Infinity Properties Ltd. is seeking approval to build 58 new single-family homes in our area — each with its own in-ground septic system — on land sitting above the same vulnerable aquifers we already depend on.

The Township of Langley's own Water Management Plan acknowledges our 2 Hopington aquifers have been declining for decades. Council staff have recently acknowledged the Hopington area is serviced by poor and vulnerable aquifers. Yet the staff report for RZ100637 recommending approval does not confirm that safe municipal water will be provided, and does not assess what 58 NEW septic systems will do to our already contaminated groundwater.

It feels like we are watching a bad TV series where the villain (the Mayor) is ruining/running the quaint small town; and his shady, sneaky secrets are slowly coming out as the town rallies around getting this developer Mayor unelected at the next election.

Just sayin’.

Starting to peek into my bins of dahlia tubers that have been overwintered. So far so good! I left some in the ground last fall as my head injury halted me in my tracks. Couldn’t muster up the force to dig up the last bed, they looked good 3 weeks ago - fingers crossed they survived our recent cold snap and torrential rains!

🌸👌🏼🥰

Pretty linen summer dress was headed for donation but got a new look as a decor pillow instead!

Are people aware of the insane debt load our township is under?

Houses taxes going from $3000 to $10,000 under Mayor Woodward.

Are we ready for an election yet?

Incredibly insane to see Mayor Woodward and his slate vote AGAINST a presentation of the new budget !?

What do you do with YOUR cardboard Amazon boxes?

How about a gingerbread village to look like downtown Fort Langley!
Complete with the Community Hall (and our old Chuckling Duckling Farm store)

Well it just shadier and shadier….. I really hope Langley residents take the time to read this article and remember it when filling the next municipal election ballot.

I predict a shiny new Mayor for the Township of Langley in 2026!
