WelcomeFrom the City of Langley
On behalf of our Council and staff, I ampleased to welcome you
to the beautiful Cityof Langley!
With a population of just over 26,000people, our unique
community encompasses 10square kilometres, including 346 acres of
inter-connected parkland and greenspaces. Small in geo-graphical
size but huge in heart, our fair city is onerich in history,
culture, and community spirit.
Located directly east of the City of Surrey andsurrounded on the
north, east, and south by theTownship of Langley, the scenic City
of Langley offers residents all the amen-ities of a major urban
centre – all while managing to retain our friendly, tight-knit
community charm.
We were very proud to recently celebrate the grand opening of
the newTimms Community Centre, a cutting edge facility with
state-of-the-art archi-tecture and design, Olympic standard fitness
equipment, a walking/runningtrack, gymnasium and many other
innovative features - our Council has trulybeen thinking and
working for beyond tomorrow for this community!
In addition to one-of-a-kind community events and a plethora of
recreation,arts, culture, and entertainment opportunities, our
pedestrian-oriented com-munity is known for distinctive
boutique-style retail offerings and eateries.
The City of Langley has also become a magnet for high-end luxury
auto-mobiles and big box retail, and we are proud to be home to
KwantlenPolytechnic University and the world-class entertainment
facilities of Cascades
Casino Hotel & Convention Centre.Today, the City — which is
completely debt-free — continues to be asought-after business and
investment area. In fact, downtown Langley is partof Langley
Regional City Centre, one of seven designated Metro
Vancouverregional city centres, and it serves as an important
activity hub for transporta-tion, employment and housing.
With so much to do and explore, you’ll soon find out why the
City ofLangley has long been called the Place to Be!
