Langford Community Calendar
The Inside Langford Community Calendar is meant to be an interactive calendar that invites people to add events, important details, and provide updates (such as for cancellations, reschedulings, etc.) for events. Simply add a comment below the calendar listings to contribute. In addition to local Langford events, West Shore, Greater Victoria or CRD events for the whole region are also welcome. Events of a purely commercial nature may not be approved, but posts about garage sales, car washes, and other small-scale community events or fundraisers are encouraged. Events that do not take place in Langford but are focused around a Langford resident (such as a Langford artist’s show) are also encouraged.

A new Langford website, Green Langford, has lots of useful information about everything to do with agriculture and food production in Langford, including Langford Council’s proposed Agricultural Strategy. Visit the website at:

The Inside Langford Community Calendar always welcomes the addition of other community events – just post them as a comment and they will be seen on the homepage by everyone and the event will be added to the calendar listing. An event can be big, like the Luxton Fair, or a local art show, or something smaller, like a neighbour block party or your own garage sale. Any special events happening for your children’s Little League team – recruiting new members or a fund raising drive?

Btw folks – if you want the *Committee* schedule of meetings, go under the small ‘City Hall’ tab at the top right, click it, then on the new list on the left sidebar scroll down to ‘Agendas & Minutes,’ under that pick the 1st entry ‘Council Meetings’ – at the very bottom of that page is the proposed Committee Schedules. Do not try the tabs with the individual committees, those do not include the proposed committee meeting times.
Suggestion: at a minimum rename ‘Council Meetings’ to ‘Council & Committee Meeting Schedules’ or better yet have the ‘Council & Committee Schedules’ as its own tab under City Hall. It is way too many clicks to view the basic info. on when public meetings of Council and its committees are scheduled to be held.

Another reminder, come on down with your ‘Beyond Bluebox’ recycling of all soft and hard plastics, all styrofoam, foil lined packaging – chips, granola bars, coffee bags, tetra and gable topped containers – Silk, Almond Breeze, Egg beaters, milk cartons, all electronics, appliances, batteries, and metal – all recyclable for a small fee – cash, debit or credit card payment.

Just a reminder, this coming Sat. Nov. 12 9AM-12PM is the Community Beyond the Blue Box PMD Recycling Depot at Belmont School (check for links on the calendar entry).
Also, the Dec. depot is NOT the 2nd Sat. but is the FIRST Sat. in Dec. so the depot is Dec. 3rd, 2011. Christmas changes PMD’s scheduling of depots just for this Dec. 2011. It is all back to the normal 2nd Sat. of the month starting Jan. 14th, 2012.
Hope to see you there.

Just another reminder, the Langford PMD Community Recycling Depot is EARLY this month, it is on Dec. 3rd!!! That is *1st* not 2nd Sat. of the month so it is THIS Saturday, Dec. 3rd, 9 AM-12 PM., hosted by Belmont Bulldog Greens in the Belmont School parking lot,
Hope to see you there!!!!
PS The January Depot, back to the regular 2nd Sat. of the month, will be Jan. 14th is traditionally massively busy, so please come if you can to our early Dec. Depot. It will probably have fewer customers than usual so I doubt there will be any lineups to deal with.

Sorry you missed the depot Mike, PMD is running all their depots in Greater Victoria one week early just this month since Christmas Eve is on a Saturday they usually hold depots. You can always check the Community Calendar here on Inside Langford for the Belmont Depot date, since as a regular depot volunteer I like to promote the depot and I will usually know of any scheduling changes. There are other depots next Sat. Dec. 17th around Greater Victoria if you can not wait until Belmont’s next depot on the reg. 2nd Sat. Jan. 14, 2012 from 9am-12pm. You can check out PMD’s website for the other depot locations and dates, rates and any new items they are accepting for recycling: http://www.pacificmobiledepots.com/Mobile-Depot-Info-Rates.html

The entries on the City of Langford’s meeting calendar for the 3 committee meetings this week, Planning, Zoning and Affordable Housing tonight at 7pm, and Administration & Finance and Transportation and Public Works tomorrow, Tues. evening, are gone, there are no agendas available and no notices on the City of Langford notice board at the main entrance to City Hall – so I guess those meetings are cancelled.
