It was a busy week at the Township Hall last week and I enjoyed every minute of it! Last week was a week full of interviews as Council began the process of filling openings on our Advisory Committees. I have to say I really enjoyed the process and was impressed with the quality of applicants who applied for our committees. Each day was filled with passionate people who were eager to serve our community, it was a great reminder of why Langley Township is such an amazing place to live! It certainly will not be an easy decision for Council to make as we make our placements.
This will be the beginning of two new committees for the Township, the Seniors Advisory Committee: co-chaired by Councillor Richter and the Community Participation, Infrastructure and Environment Committee: co-chaired by myself. Both committees will offer great value to our community and I am excited to see the ideas and advice these committees bring forward to Council. We are also seeing a new and expanded mandate for the Community Safety Committee with the addition of Transportation, this committee will be co-chaired by Councillor Ward. I am thrilled to see the transportation aspect added to this committee, as we can all attest to the importance of addressing this issue!
I wanted to end by expressing my gratitude to those who volunteer within our community. As I sat and listed to those whom we interviewed, I was struck by the amount of volunteer work these individuals did within our community, all working to make Langley a better place. Thank you, Thank you for all you do for our community, you are the backbone and your desire to serve is such an example to our youth, what a great legacy you leave.
