Langford previously sold off millions of dollars in amenity lands to help keep taxes low during Covid. This new bylaw prevents that practice, permanently protecting 209 acres as public parks for our community’s future.
We caught up on a critical staffing shortfall in our fire department by hiring 27 additional firefighters. This means when you call for help, Langford Fire Rescue has the staff ready to respond quickly.
Beep beep! Have you tried out any of the shared e-bikes and e-scooters yet? More stops are rolling out across the CRD as more neighbours start to see the success of this fun and increasingly convenient transportation option.
After years of only budgeting $400,000 to add new sidewalks every year, this term has seen over $15 million spent on road improvements for pedestrians and cyclists alone.

After meeting them while door-knocking in 2022, the owners of Woodlands Park approached me to help them turn their 6.6 acres into a City Park.

A budget shows a city's real priorities. We phased out the unsustainable use of development funds to keep taxes artificially low, aligning with BC's Bill 46. This caused a one-time 4% tax adjustment in 2024, but it structurally secured the predictable funding we need to build critical infrastructure—like safe sidewalks to schools.

We've levelled the playing field for the people of Langford by setting clear rules for construction, ensuring reasonable noise levels, and giving the City new tools to fine nuisance properties and unkept properties in the event of stalled developments.
Did you know that our densest, lower-income neighbourhoods currently have the fewest trees? With our new forest plan, tree protections, and a massive planting effort, we are making our city greener and fairer for everyone.
