Most people don't pay attention to local government until a decision affects their neighbourhood, taxes, parks, roads, or community character.

That's why this proposed bylaw should concern everyone.

The Township is considering changes that could make it easier for one political group to gain and keep control of Council decisions. Whether you support the current Council or not, no single group should have more power and less accountability. Important changes like this deserve public discussion, transparency, and input from residents—not a rushed vote. Please take a few minutes to learn about this proposal and let Township Council know what you think. If we stay silent, we can't complain later when decisions are made without our voices being heard.

A Township of Langley bylaw heading to a fast-tracked Monday vote would lower the threshold to censure councillors from two-thirds to simple majority and end the rule giving every councillor equal time as Acting Mayor.

How can our Mayor be allowed to avoid development applications or heritage permits?

If Mayor Woodward applied for a 2 storey building with 40+ units and got approval, he should have to stay within those parameters.

I don't understand how a project can receive a heritage permit as a much smaller development (2 storey -40+ units) and then grow into a 76-unit, three-storey building without a new heritage review.

It appears the increased density was approved after the original heritage approval, creating a project far larger than what residents initially understood. Many people are asking whether the rules are being applied fairly when a developer who is also the Mayor stands to benefit from decisions affecting his own properties.

If this concerns you, please share this petition. Fort Langley's historic and quaint downtown core is worth protecting.

One of the biggest projects we are watching very closely is the Glover Rd, Mary St, Church St project in Fort Langley, the birthplace of BC. Referred to locally as GloverMaryChurch as it encompasses all the property between these streets..combined.

It is a huge, open green space in the heart of downtown Fort Langley. It was the location for the popular Fort Langley Night Market up until 2024 hosted by the Fort Langley Project.

📍 What is the issue?

The development project was originally approved as a much smaller development (47 residential units). When the developer (Mayor Eric Woodward) changed the plans from 47 units to 76 units, the Township merely extended the OLD heritage permit instead of requiring a new review for the entirely new plans.

‼️ Did we mention the original plan was a 2 storey building and the new plan is now a 3 storey building? 😳

Residents are very concerned that a larger project should require a new heritage review to ensure Fort Langley’s historic character is properly protected. If this project is allowed to proceed under Mayor Eric Woodward without proper attention to heritage respect and responsibilities, it could set a dangerous precedent for other heritage sites in communities across British Columbia.

⚠️ Read more and please SIGN the petition below ⬇️.

We are asking council to:

✅ Revisit the GMC Heritage Alteration Permit
✅ Impose stronger design requirements
✅ Require further independent heritage reviews

💕 For the love of Fort Langley, please share 💕

My over wintered kale grew these gorgeous yellow blossoms, after enjoying them in the kitchen for a week, I shook off the petals to make this glorious jar of yellow edible confetti! No IDEA what they will be used for but what a stunning little jar of sunshine! ☀️ 💛

Knowing that Mayor Woodward created the CAC fiasco, lost his CAC battle in court, dropped his appeal in court this week and then had the nerve to ask Kim how SHE was going to fix his mess should be enough for ANY Langley resident to vote for the Langley Strong team in October.

Also if you want to follow council meetings but don't have the time to log in live each month or the capacity to go through the meeting minutes to try and understand the jargon......

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)
