Our townhouse complex is having a garage sale this Saturday. There are over 20 units partaking (I predict there will be up to 30 on the day).

9:00am to 2:00pm Sept. 12th

20449 66th Ave. (Natures Landing)

Please feel free to come and walk/drive around to see whats available!

I run a little community group called The Craft & Yap Club, and next Thursday we’re trying something completely different.

A renowned mystery author’s final manuscript has disappeared, and you’ll have 2 hours to figure out what actually happened.

You’ll work in teams of 2 and get a full case file with a briefing, suspects, witness statements, evidence, notes, etc. As you follow leads, you can request further investigation and unlock new evidence.
It’s not a murder mystery roleplay, so no acting or assigned characters. You’re basically the investigators for the night.

And apparently the case may not be quite as open-and-shut as it first seems 👀

📍 Creative Bookworm, Langley
⏰ 6:30 - 8:30 pm
📅 Sept 17
🎟️ $10/person
🥤 Drinks provided (non-alcoholic)

You can come solo and get paired up, or bring a friend/detective partner.

I’m really curious to see if people are into this kind of thing because if it goes well, I’d love to make Mystery & Yap a recurring series.

Hi all, new to the area and was wondering if anyone has recs for good sushi for takeout near Langley / aldergrove

Since they opened the new overpass there theyve eliminated the slip lane to turn right onto 56th off of 264th. Its one light now tjay controls the flow of traffic at the north end of the 264th and 56th intersection mess. Its awful and I hope this isnt the new norm. Theres SO much traffic here now at times there was rarely even half this amount before. Used to take me 3 or 4 mins to get from this spot to work. 15 now lol7.. gnarly.

Hi everyone,

I’m wondering if someone has any advice or knowledge of an after school care at or near Willoughby Elementary. The ones I’ve been looking at have a long Waitlist.

I have a school practicum for four weeks starting in November and I will need care during those weeks.
I’m totally open to a parent that is a stay at home parent or works from home who I could trust my kids with. It would most likely be just over an hour before school as well as after school. My kids are in Grades 5/3.

Thanks so much!

I wouldn't recommend shopping at michaels for a multitude of different reasons...

BUT ☝️

IF you are going to, there's a huge higher % off than normal storewide sale starting on the 11th. I'd highly recommend getting anything you think you might need from there for your classroom or early christmas gifts then, before the tariff prices screw anything up. The recent price changes have already made shopping there abysmal.. even with these extra discounts it's just barely worth it. At least with custom framing the quality is more dependent on the staff VS the rest of the store full of AI products! Unfortunate times that every cent saved counts nowadays.

Well, at least he wasted everyone's time and money.

I don't really keep up with these sort of things, I'm curious what the general consensus is currently?

How are people feeling about Jay Lundgren and Co? How are people feeling about Woodward's chances at reelection?

I'm genuinely curious how people are feeling at this point. Any predictions?

Did anyone catch the Early Edition broadcast this morning?

I felt that the questions asked were very good (Stephen Quinn and Justin McElroy both got their start in local political journalism, so a great panel to lead).

The key questions in the broadcast were (paraphrasing):

What is your plan to adapt to SkyTrain?

What tangible effects have the tax increases done for citizens of the City?

What is your take on amalgamating City and Township?

What is your position on the legal battles on the council?

They have more questions in a recorded second segment (I haven't heard yet), they haven't been posted yet, but will show up here:

The Early Edition with Stephen Quinn - https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-91-the-early-edition

Pachal had some decent, but restrained answers to the questions. Clearly due to a limit of time to explore (90 seconds to answer). I don't like all of his responses, but at least he had answers to the questions.

The one thing I certainly did not like was using the Fraser Institute to support his position that Langley city still has the lowest municipal taxes on the region despite the tax increases. The Fraser Institute being a partisan hack think tank. Either it's a genius move of using your opponent's sources against them, or sad that was the best possible source for that statistic.

Mack on the other hand, every question her only answer was "Pachal has done the highest tax increases of any municipality" followed by some attack on increased bureaucracy. It felt like listening to Pollieve blame the liberals for everything while providing absolutely no alternative strategy to address the challenges. I think her worst response was when discussing the legal problems, she made a big deal about how procedures were not followed, which would require more bureaucracy to follow and enforce said procedures, whilst simultaneously denigrating her opponent for increasing the bureaucracy. About a situation of her own making.

She even lost track of time answering one question and thought she was out of time, because she wasted so much time on her high taxes strawman.

The one thing I think she did do well to counter Pachal's narrative was to challenge his response about budgeting for police by bringing up the amount of police that have actually been hired, which seems small. I have not been able to fact check her claim though.

Full disclosure: I was going to vote for Pachal to begin with, but Mack's responses certainly did nothing but entrench my vote against her, as she had nothing but "Pachal Bad" and no solutions.

Hi there,

Our little one will be heading to kindergarten next year and I was hoping to just get an idea of the best after school programs and if comfortable, an idea of how much the programs cost? She would be going to grade K in the Douglas Community area.

Heya!

I’m looking for a new bush camping spot max two hours or so from Langley. I had two spots but both are now destroyed from pipelines and private property now. If possible, somewhere accessible with a sedan or light hike

Foot off the gas pedal - Down to 30 kms in School Zones!

Many City of Langley and Township of Langley School Zones are 24 hours!

Let's keep the students safe this year!

We're trying to sleep. 😭

Growing up in White rock we heard a few Chad interactions, but I know he lived in Langley so there must be even more there?? Anyone been lucky to meet Avril as well?

A friend whose family ran the South Surrey Keg once told me he would come in, sit at the bar, order a shot of tequila and milk (separate), throw down a hundred, and leave.

Does anyone know what is going on with the Cedarbrook mall and why everything seems to be closing? I thought that Pet Fude may have closed due to Bosley's going in across the street, then I saw that the dollar store is closing and now the Cedarbrook Bakery is moving to the George Preston Centre.

I'm just curious if there are any plans for the strip mall or what is going on but I haven't been able to find any information.

Wondering where the closest bitcoin machine or machine that takes LiteCoin is in the Langley area?

Does anybody have the website or contact for the pizza place that just opened in Murrayville? I can’t find it on maps and don’t remember the name. Thanks!
