We welcome all who are interested in learning about and applying Strong Towns principles in Langley. Our meetings and events are inclusive spaces for everyone.
Whether you're curious about urban planning or a long-time advocate, there's a place for you here!
Volunteer-Driven
We're 100% volunteer-operated, with members contributing their time, ideas, and energy to create positive change in Langley.
Every contribution matters—whether it's attending meetings, helping with events, or sharing ideas!
Why We Do This
Safe & Accessible Streets
We advocate for streets that work for everyone—whether you're walking, cycling, using transit, or driving. Everyone deserves to move safely around their community.
Thriving Local Businesses
Walkable neighbourhoods support local businesses and create vibrant community centers where shops, cafes, and services can flourish.
Diverse Housing Options
We support a range of housing choices so that people of all ages, incomes, and life stages can find a place to call home in Langley.
Green & Public Spaces
Public parks, plazas, and green spaces are essential for community connection, recreation, and environmental health.
Financial Sustainability
Development patterns that generate more tax revenue than maintenance costs create financially resilient communities for the long term.
Community Connection
When neighbourhoods are designed for people, residents have more opportunities to meet, connect, and build relationships.

How much time commitment is expected?
There's no minimum time commitment required. You can participate at whatever level works for you—whether that's simply attending occasional meetings, joining online discussions, or taking a more active role in our initiatives. We appreciate any time and energy you're able to contribute!
