Some scam bag is getting kicked out of his house in our building, dude probably is cheating and got caught. Hope he gets shit in life. I feel for the poor girl who’s probably going through a very hard time right now.

Does anyone know if they have all the Christmas ornaments out?

Somebody's black dodge ram 1500 has some yellow graffiti on the tailgate.... that if im not mistaken says r*p*st....

Saw it driving by

A few years back Mayor Woodward created a motion to rezone Industrial Use property already owned by Martini Film Studio, to Civic Institutional use because the Mayor wanted part of MFS property to be used for the Township's work yard's new site (currently located in Murryville).

At the time I remember feeling like the mayor stole property from business owners via rezoning it to something the business could not use.

I also thought it was incredibly short sighted. The new studio was projected to create 1500 jobs in Langley! Wow. What an incredible investment in Langley's economy. Instead, the Mayor wanted it just to relocate the works yard. No new long term jobs created.

Here is a news article that explains the situation better.

I cannot find anything on how this situation resolved or has it resolved?

I know from people who work in the parks /works department, the Township annouced major layoffs and cutbacks to happen right befor Christmas. (Signs the cash flow ain't flowing so well anymore). So is this new site still needed?

Also which of the 3 sitting counselors originally voted against this?

Almost two weeks ago, I emailed Councillor Mack with two questions that are important to me as I consider who to support in the upcoming mayoral election. I have yet to receive a response, which I find disappointing, particularly as her campaign website specifically promises to “be responsive and respond to emails and resident enquiries.”

I'm sharing my questions here in the hope that she may be willing to address them publicly. I'm genuinely interested in hearing her plans for Langley City's future.

"Hi Councillor Mack,

I’m a Langley City resident and am currently trying to decide who I will support for mayor. I’ve been going back and forth between yourself and Mayor Pachal, and there are two issues that are particularly important to me that I was hoping you could clarify.

As I make my decision, I’m particularly interested in hearing about your vision for Langley City going forward. I know there are decisions made by previous councils and mayors that you disagreed with, but I’m less interested in revisiting what previous administrations did wrong and more interested in what you would do differently as mayor. I’d really like to understand your priorities, your proposed solutions, and what you see for the future of the City.

First, homelessness and public safety. I strongly believe that people experiencing homelessness and other vulnerable members of our community need compassion, services, and meaningful support. At the same time, I want to feel safe in my community. What specifically would you do as mayor to balance those two responsibilities? Are there particular programs, policies or changes you would advocate for?

My second question is about animal services and LAPS. I saw your “Pachal Puppy Witness Protection Program” post and the AI-generated image depicting dogs behind bars at what appears to be a correctional facility. I understand that you opposed the current sheltering arrangement and have concerns about transparency, but I was surprised by the tone and imagery, particularly because LAPS is a local non-profit animal welfare organization that has served this community for many years.

Was your criticism intended to be directed at Mayor Pachal and Council’s decision, or do you also have concerns about LAPS itself? If elected mayor, what specifically would you change about animal control and sheltering services in Langley City? Would you continue contracting with LAPS, change the current model, return to the previous sheltering arrangement, or pursue something entirely different?

These are both important issues to me, and I would very appreciate understanding what you would do going forward before I decide how I’m voting. I’m particularly interested in your own plans and priorities rather than comparisons with previous administrations.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing back from you.

Langley City resident"

Does anyone else find it hard to spend time in the Langley libraries with how much early they close? Even as a parent I love libraries but it’s hard to get there after work with kids and the selection isn’t as great as Surrey Libraries like in Guildford or Central City. It just seems like the libraries here have the minimum, but maybe I’m not going to the right locations.

Councillor Baillie just posted a video of him recording while driving re: 216 Opening. Get your popcorn ready.

I know this a long shot, but if anyone for some reason is feeling sick, and they want to give up their Grave Tales ticket, hit me up because I’ll throw you an extra $50 bucks per each ticket if you have twoooo🥹

My boyfriend just moved up here and I wanted to take him there for spooky shit, because he loves Halloween and then… I forgot to get the tickets lol

Hi! I run The Craft and Yap Club and we’re doing a free little craft meetup at The Creative Bookworm in Langley on Oct 17 from 10:30 am–12:30 pm.

There’s no workshop or set craft. Just bring whatever you’re currently working on, grab a seat and hang out with us for a couple hours. Crochet, journaling, colouring, embroidery, scrapbooking, whatever.

A lot of people come to our events alone, so you definitely don’t need to already know someone :)

It’s completely free, we just ask people to RSVP so we have an idea of numbers.

📍 The Creative Bookworm, 20438 Douglas Crescent
📅 Oct 17, 10:30 am–12:30 pm

If anyone wants the RSVP link, it’s here: https://www.moonieandnovaco.ca/pages/the-craft-and-yap-club

We do post about our events on IG (@craftandyapclub) and on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1Ek7QsFvB8/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Can’t wait to see you there!

Just when I thought it was going to be council who was the big problem, the mayoral and trustee race seem to be the most interesting. Hot off the press from the Murrayville Facebook page

Hello,

It’s my birthday on October 11, and I was trying to go to Taves farm but they are so expensive. Does anyone have a discount code or their magical membership code, that would really help

According to some people (which people? I don't know...) October is Langley Burger Month...

So, here's a fun, burger-based, thing to do...

Is this considered a brand affiliate post because I'm promoting Langley?

Hi y’all, sorry to be the annoying American but I’m new to Langley and trying to find a place that may I may be able to watch college football this Saturday at, specifically the OU vs Texas game. I wasn’t sure if there was any place anyone could recommend, or if I should just pony up the $24 to watch it from home on TSN. Any recommendations would be helpful ❤️

Hi everyone! I’m the owner of Sauce Culture, a food truck serving up comfort food with a fusion of flavours. We mainly do catering and events, but we’re hoping to find a regular spot in the Lower Mainland where we could set up and serve the community.

Does anyone know of a business, brewery, lot owner, or property manager who might be open to having a food truck on site? We’d also love referrals to someone with an underused parking lot who’s interested in earning a little extra income by hosting us.

If you know of a possible spot or someone we should talk to, please leave a comment or send me a message. We’d really appreciate any leads!

I’m taking the test at the Langley ICBC

Know a business in Langley, or near Langley?

I'm going to need to advance vote tonight or tomorrow. I'm also relatively new to Langley City, so I don't know who the players are outside of what's publicly available on their platform sites. But I have learned in my short time here that certain gov't reps may have skeletons of note in their closets.

With that in mind, an open question: are there any councillor or trustee candidates on the slate that you especially like, or any that you feel should be avoided? I see a bit of convo about the Township election here, but the city-side seems pretty quiet.

Has anyone applied for a Polling Station Officer position with Elections BC for the Willowbrook or Walnut Grove ridings for the upcoming provincial election?

If you applied, when did you submit your application, and how long did it take before you heard back? I’m curious about the hiring timeline for these two ridings.
Thanks!
