I was alerted to a a post on Times-Colonist writer Jody Paterson’s blog about an article she wrote for the Times-Colonist back in Sept. 12, 2008 on Langford’s transformation from its past and what will be its vision for the future. It seemed a timely article to link to with the municipal election underway.
Langford received congratulations, “councillors take a bow,” for the transformation of Langford from dogpatch to what it is today, “an attractive well-serviced town.” Langford was given high praise for its affordable housing program, and questions were raised about what is the next step, how will Langford learn from the mistakes of other growing cities, and how does Langford deal with building community in a growing city with growing big city problems.
