**EVENT POSTPONED TO AUG 28**: CITY OF LANGFORD’S FREE COMMUNITY EVENT IN HAPPY VALLEY

(Langford, B.C.) – The City of Langford invites community members to attend another fun-filled free event at Happy Valley Elementary School on August 28, 2024, from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. This event follows the success of the first Community Fun Day held in July, which marked the launch of the City’s Public Engagement Strategy, “Let’s Plan Langford. Together”.

The free Community Fun Day will feature fun activities for all ages, including an inflatable obstacle course and inflatable disco, face painting, BBQ hot dogs (with vegan and gluten-free options), music, games, sports, crafts, and more!

The event will also present an opportunity for community members to engage with City staff at a pop-up stall during the event to discuss what Langford would look like for 100,000 people through its Official Community Plan (OCP) refresh.

An OCP is a long-term vision for the community that shapes how the city will grow, what kind of place it will be, and how it will impact transportation, access to services, and the overall quality of future growth. The City is updating its existing OCP and developing several master plans and strategies to ensure Langford continues to grow in a way that reflects the community’s values and aspirations. The City of Langford encourages residents to participate in the OCP Refresh survey which will be open until September 15, 2024.

“The voice of every Langford resident matters. Through engagement initiatives, we’re offering residents a direct say in how the city will evolve in the next few years,” said Scott Goodmanson, Mayor of Langford. “We want to hear the various ideas and aspirations from community members to plan for a sustainable, inclusive, and resilient community together. It’s about creating a city where everyone can thrive.”

The City also encourages residents to sign up to LetsChatLangford.ca and follow the City on social media for notifications about various engagement opportunities over the next few months.
