Join the Township of Langley Virtually this Canada Day!

Join us Thursday, July 1 for the Township of Langley’s virtual Canada Day. Enjoy online family-friendly entertainment including a concert, smartphone scavenger hunt, heritage quiz, fun resources, activities and more!
“As we gradually begin to get our lives back to normal, the safety of the community is still our top priority,” said Township of Langley Mayor Jack Froese. “This year, the Township will come together again virtually for our annual Canada Day event. We can safely mark Canada’s birthday, while also acknowledging the First Nations, Inuit and Métis individuals and communities, who together with their ancestors, have stewarded the lands and waters known today as Canada, since time immemorial.”
“The recent discovery of the unmarked grave of 215 children at the Kamloops Residential School has activated a deep sense of loss in all of us,” said Froese. “This Canada Day, please take some time to reflect on the effects that Residential Schools and other colonial policies continue to have on First Nations, Inuit and Métis individuals and communities. These activities have scarred our individual and collective spirits. On July 1, I invite residents to visit tol.ca/canadaday to be local, be creative, and be entertained. During the event, be respectful of First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities, as we share the grief we all feel.”
Be local and explore your neighbourhood with an interactive smartphone scavenger hunt, and test your knowledge of the Township’s heritage by taking the Heritage Hero Challenge. We also encourage residents to support local Langley businesses and look for the hashtag #LocalLangleyCanadaDay to find out how they are marking Canada Day in our community.
Be creative and visit our website for fun Canadian-themed activities and resources that you can do from home.
On Thursday, July 1, join us online at 11:00am to be entertained. Hosted by country singer/songwriter, Cambree Lovesy, this year’s free virtual concert features musical performances by Tiller’s Folly and Glisha.
